[edit] History

PowersGaming was formed in 2005 by Jason and Jordan Powers. Their biggest success was winning the 2005 Cyberathlete Professional League Extreme Summer Championships.[2] PowersGaming was said to be the Team 3D or Complexity of Source. PowersGaming broke up following Everlan, despite some attempts to replace the players who left.

The core of the PowersGaming players moved to team check-six (x6), a well known Counter-Strike team. The ex-pg players stayed with check-six for one season, winning CAL-Invite Season 4. PowersGaming today is now known as EFGaming. Most of the players on EFGaming now are former PowersGaming players including Yazan "clowN" Ammari, Joshua "haqshot^" Lanigan, Moe "mOE" Assad, Trevor "p0s" Randolph, Laurent "Warmach1ne" Keoula, and Johnny "cLaRK" Clark.
