History

Theclan, now known as Gravitas Gaming, been hovering at the second spot in Denmark for the longest time, and have had the core of Jonas "whiMp" Svendsen, Thomas "MoRf4r" Holm, and Andreas "KK" Andreassen since November the 12th, 2005^[1].

While the team has stayed together they have gone through several organizations. In 2006, All the Rage picked up theclan as their Danish CS team^[2], then atr collapsed and they returned to theclan^[3], they joined H2k-Gaming^[4], then AGAIN they became theclan^[5], and just recently they joined the new US based organization Gravitas Gaming^[6]. Over this period they have had few roster changes, with Martin "zone" Eilertsen^[7] joining the team in November of 2006 and Christian "Paddy" Juhl, who used to be on atr.dk^[8] and was replaced by Richard "Drally" Halgaard^[9], returned to the team after being removed from NoA to replace the inactive Christian "XciteD" Mortensen^[10] in June of 2007.

They had pretty disappointing results at SHGopen 2007, finishing 17-24th, but shocked the world by finishing second at the Extreme Masters LAN Finals. They failed to make it out of the first group stage at ESWC 2007 as they were eliminated by MiBR and MYM. They also did not qualify for WCG, and failed to make it past group play at Extreme Masters LA.
