Tell us about your guild.
Kool Aid started as a 10-man Outpost group living out of the portal zone. We set goals, recruited, fought, and VoD-reviewed season after season until we became a feared name in ZvZ, as well as one of the best small-to-medium-scale zergs in the game. As we improved, our sights kept rising. First, the goal was to become a Gold guild. Then, a Crystal guild. Then, a Top 10 Crystal guild. Eventually, we competed for and secured first place in Season 27.
Today, Kool Aid has returned to its roots as the best small-to-medium-scale zerg in the Outlands. Any doubters are welcome to come fight us on even numbers. We roam the Outlands with no fear, knowing that everyone else fears us.
Why did you choose this name? Is there a story or meaning behind it?
Because we was Kool Aid. Now we is evil.
What sort of activities do you focus on?
We do ZvZ of all sizes: small, medium, and large. We are primarily a PvP-focused guild.
What sort of members are you looking for?
We’re looking for players with 1 billion Kill Fame, 50,000 kills, and a minimum net worth of 1 billion Silver. Above all, we’re interested in players who want to compete at the highest level of PvP, aren’t afraid to take very outnumbered fights, and are always willing to absolutely send it.
Where is your guild primarily located?
We’re currently set up in Razorrock Verge. It’s a strong zone in Martlock, with the most Castles in the region. That said, we usually move every season to keep things fresh.
Do you have any rivalries or ongoing quarrels with other guilds?
No. We don’t have any particular rivalries. We will always fight, but there’s no one we consider real competition.
What are some of your most memorable battles or activities?
One of our proudest moments was beating IFures in an open-world fight on their home map: 48% vs 64%. That loss caused them to disband and abandon their push for first place.
What does your guild do for fun?
Our favorite activity is to argue about CTAs. When we’re not doing that, we play League of Legends together at someone’s house.
What is your guild's approach to the game? Do you have any core values or beliefs that guide how you play together?
Our core value is simple: play well or go broke. We’re a full loot-split guild. Regears are just a crutch.
What are your goals for the future?
Our immediate goal is to fight everyone, and pray there’s a war that isn’t completely one-sided.
Anything else to share about your guild?
Three words to live by: “Don’t piss me off.”
