Before touching on the Haidamaks groupfight History, it should be mentioned that it came from the regiment that existed in 2016 - Gaidamaks. After all, it was from this small regiment that the history of the glorious Ukrainian team began. Gaidamaks as a regiment was created back in 2014 on the pirate client of the game, and ceased to exist in 2016. After that, most of the players were left without a regiment, but the desire to continue playing remained. All the command, officers, and heads of the regiment resigned, then Bodya (then known as XBOCT) appeared, who created a team for people who needed battles and matches to continue the regiment’s business, and to develop its people and composition. So the Haidamaks team was created in the 2016th year, but then it was still not a professional team, and included only old fellow soldiers, friends, and military twin cities from different regiments. Everything specifically changed in the middle of the 2016th regiment, after which Haidamaks, as a fun groupfight team for a good time with friends, turned into a professional team of a non-fan level. After this “key” transitional moment, the team led by Bodya included in their goals to demonstrate to Europe and the European regiments and teams that there are strong players in the CIS space who are ready to compete with English-speaking players. Haidamaks GF TEAM should have demonstrated that strong players, including Ukrainians, remained in the old post-Soviet space. The team planned to prove and show the entire community of the game that the Ukrainian players are not weak, ready to compete on an equal footing with other teams, and that the CIS region can repel other teams in the form of Khaidamaks. In 2017-2018, the team was going through hard times: many players went to other teams, they were picked up by their teams, or just the players left the game like all of us, sooner or later. The team took 2 - 3 breaks between seasons (Autumn - Summer), but always returned. So, the team in one season of 2018 played about 102 matches, of which about 55+ were victorious. The team itself for all four years was one of the strongest teams in the Russian-speaking region, second only to the CCCP team. Despite this, Khaidamaki as such rarely participated in tournaments and won prizes there, but other teams and regiments won in training and friendly matches. Every day, the team trained hard and played for 3-4 years, playing 2-3 matches a day, despite the fact that the composition of the team changed from day to day. So, one way or another, the team survived from 2016 to 2019, having come a long way and moving on, despite everything. |
