What is KSI?
The KSI Global Gaming Network is the cliché, yet unique result of three men who sat down and planned to begin the greatest gaming community ever produced.
Made up of a special group of young and older individuals that share a common goal bridging the gap, and building leaders for every age group to reinforce their real life work ethics, and goal oriented lifestyles. Members of different ethnic backgrounds at KSI is off the charts, producing leaders from every country, and every language. Members are taught about diversity, and live that belief to the fullest, making KSI one of the most dynamic communities in the world.
KSI’s leaders live the life in becoming more proficient with their knowledge, strength, and integrity.
KSI’s members can work with players from all across the world, meeting leaders from every walk of life.
Members can learn certain traits from their leaders to mold themselves, producing a fine role-model for future KSI members, and then expres what they learn while online, in their workplace or at school. KSI is a learning environment and reinforces their drive, making its members more confident in their leadership, and less reckless with real life relationships.
KSI within the first few months consisted of only 600 members, but at its peak reached a crushing number of 40,000.
KSI has also integrated a new method of adding divisions and ramifying the divisions into squads.
Divisions are very unique with a hierarchy of a few key individuals who assist the members in staying organized and making great changes in the good of its members and the division.
A division may reach around 1000 members but may be much more.
The members are also placed in a squad where they learn everything they need to know, from organizational skills to politics, and even as far as personal relationships.
The members, during game play are encouraged to be competitive but are reminded of good sportsmanship and team building concepts.
KSI has members that range from the age of 15-59, where the younger gamers will interact with older gamers, giving them the opportunity to learn to play more maturely, and getting older gamers to interact with the youth, along the way, teaching valuable lessons, and a wide variety of social skills.
KSI’s older members are given a chance to have fun, and give the XBOX LIVE community a much more organized feel. In KSI these members utilize this point in KSI to have the very unique experience of building a global gaming community.
KSI History
2002 marked the first year KSI came online. This only was possible through the newest technology that was built for faster networking.
This marked the time when preparation meets opportunity, where KSI SE7EN, KSI CYRUS 7, and KSI DEADMEAT 777, built the foundation for the future gaming juggernaut.
Taking the globe by storm and quickly climbing to the title of the largest gaming community on earth, KSI has trekked every mountain and broke through every wall that stood in their way to come this far.
Opportunities and Benefits
When the members are inducted into the community, we explain to them a small set of rules that can pertain to almost every problem that may arise throughout XBOX LIVE.
This code is followed to the T and adds structure to game play, and the organization.
This gives way to adding more features for KSI’s members including tasks they may choose to perform.
Members are given the chance to learn Web Design from senior designers, who design and maintain, at peak, over 44 websites.
They can progress from a basic design level to working full time as a professional designer.
Member’s who live the life of an artist, can choose to dwell into the field of graphic design, where KSI’s members can learn Digital art, working with Photoshop and training in even more specific fields.
Members may apply, and perhaps improve themselves to a professional level.
The writing corner for KSI’s members is for those who enjoy writing, from game and merchandise reviews to as far as news articles for current events, and political and opinionated articles.
The training for all these fields is completely free, and the members that have shown true talent in these fields, are enthusiastic for new KSI inductees, and even senior members to take a closer look at their field of work. When trained adequately, KSI’s members work is then posted on all of KSI’s websites and made public, giving them the opportunity to be discovered.
