For those who have lived under a rock in esports the last 10 yrs
"The merger occurred over a series of months in the fall of 2008. By the time BlizzCon 2008 came around, rumors began circulating between the members of Nihilum and their associates of a strife between their guild and the guild's partnership organization, Mousesports. Although the information was not entirely disclosed, it was apparent of the problems when the first rumors of leaving Mousesports occurred. No further information was revealed for an entire month to come.
At the same time, the guild members of SK Gaming's PvE squad were having problems with their organization as well. Finally, the guild parted from SK Gaming, due to "differences in interests". The guild once again changed its name to "Put Your Name Here" and simply stated that they had big plans ahead. It was unclear what it meant at the time, as the Nihilum: Mousesports MMO website became nearly vacant of its moderators and staff and what was said implied an enormous transition. For weeks nearing the eventual announcement, rumors of the split from Mousesports and a possible merge with the former SK Gaming squad persisted. Finally, on November 10, 2008, the twentyfifthnovember website was brought online and unveiled the new team comprised of Nihilum and Curse members, which opened its portal on April 15, 2009.
The PvE portion of Ensidia turned out to be extremely successful, pulling together more world first kills than other guilds combined. However, on September 12, 2009, it was announced that Ensidia would be transferring from Magtheridon EU to Tarren Mill EU. Later, on March 17, 2010, Ensidia transfered to Lightning's Blade EU to counter similar problems that prompted the first transfer. 25 of their members received a 72 hour ban after allegedely using exploits on their unrecognized world first kill of 25 man Lich King normal mode. Following being banned due to exploiting the 25 man normal mode Lich king fight it was announced, on April 12, 2010, that a number of their core players would be retiring from World of Warcraft altogether to focus on real-world affairs.
Ensidia has since disbanded.
Raiding history"
