[edit] DSO Clan

DSO Clan, ( Delta Special Ops ) is a co-ed gaming clan comprised of mainly female gamers, which was founded 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. The Delta girls who left felt they had lost in PMS what they had been originally seeking in its community, atmosphere, and environment. Some members were a part of the PMS Clan's Delta Division for a short 2 months while others were there for three or more years. However, all equally felt the need to seek what they desired elsewhere. 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 the majority of the clan is currently female members, the founders have elected that DSO be a co-ed gaming clan and the male participant numbers are steadily rising.


With plans to expand game and platform coverage, DSO Clan currently has male and female divisions in Halo 3 , as well as mixed divisions for Call of Duty 4 and Rainbow Six Vegas 2. DSO is actively seeking competitive challenges in Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, online, on GameBattles.com and will also be appearing at MLG events during the 2008 season.
