DSO Gaming Clan Attends its First Pro Circuit Event: MLG Orlando 2008 7-29-08 ORLANDO, FL: DSO Clan made its inaugural appearance at Major League Gaming’s Pro Circuit event in Orlando, Florida. DSO Delta, the all-girl Halo 3 division, had two full female teams competing in the Halo 3 tournament on MLG’s Pro Circuit. The two teams were supported by fellow clan members and other spectators. DSO Delta, consisting of team captain Maverick DSO and members DSO SniperWolf, LadyLuck34, and hot chief DSO, played a tough match on Friday evening in the first heat of Winners Bracket Round 1. Although DSO Delta held the lead during the beginning of the first game, the opposing team was able to pull ahead and win the round by a slim margin. The following day, they were knocked out in Losers Bracket Round 2 after receiving a bye for Losers Bracket Round 1. DSO Delta Nu, consisting of team captain Jaded DSO and members Wicked Fate DSO, Mpiece DSO and Venom DSO, also began with a loss in the second heat of Winners Bracket Round 1 on Friday evening. DSO Delta Nu was pushed down to the Loser’s Bracket Round 1 on Saturday morning where the presiding MLG official mistakenly instructed them to use the incorrect game types, throwing off the team’s previously formulated strategies. Despite the error, DSO Delta Nu fought on and proved themselves to be excellent sportswomen. Although they put up a valiant fight, they were unable to bring the match back around into their favor and were knocked out of the tournament. Both teams played well and represented DSO proudly at their first large-scale, professional event. DSO members, attending as both competitors and spectators, enjoyed a successful weekend filled with gaming and fun. DSO members wore soon-to-be vintage DSO Clan Gear designed by Maverick DSO and Wicked Fate DSO. The Orlando event, the third in a series of five open contests, took place at the Marriott World Center Resort and Convention Center from July 11-13 in Orlando, Florida.

Prominent Gamer-Girls Break Ranks & Announce New Co-Ed Gaming Clan: DSO (Delta Special Ops) "Almost an entire division breaks from a top female gaming clan to go their own way and maintain the ideals they hold dear. This release details their choice and where it's going from there." For_Immediate_Release: United States of America (Press Release) May 17, 2008 -- 5-15-08 ORLANDO, FL: When the group leaders of the largest and arguably most successful Division of the popular Girl-Gaming Clan "PMS" decided to leave the clan and form their own group of like-minded gamers, few knew it would develop into what it has. Virtually the entire Delta Division of PMS chose to leave with their long-standing division leaders. The exodus inspired the name of the new clan: Delta Special Ops (DSO). Although currently the clan is comprised of mostly female members, the founders have elected that DSO be a co-ed gaming clan and the male participant numbers are steadily rising. What sets the DSO apart from most others? The answer is simple: Attitude. DSO Clan is comprised of gamers from different walks of life who believe in fair and honorable gaming. This is a place to compete with other gamers who above all, respect each other and always maintain a positive attitude. When asked how they would describe DSO, one of the members said it best by simply stating "It's a mantra, a home, a battle-cry, an answer, a family... I think the reason why we are all here is because we "GET IT". We understand that success is measured by more than just stats on paper; it is measured by the respect, love, and loyalty that we give to each other." Another simply described it as "Love and friendship that goes beyond the game" With plans to expand game and platform coverage, DSO Clan currently has both male and female divisions in Halo 3, as well as mixed divisions for Call of Duty 4 and Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Competitive teams will represent DSO this season at multiple Major League Gaming (MLG) events in Halo 3, Rainbow Six Vegas 2. DSO is also actively seeking competitive challenges in Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, online, on GameBattles.com.
