The KSI Spokes Models Program[edit | edit source]

Back in the early 2000's, KSI introduced the "Spokes Models" program, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at representing the small but growing percentage of female gamers within the community and the broader competitive gaming scene. This program was designed to showcase that KSI was, and remains, a clan with a significant female presence both in membership and leadership roles.

The primary objective of the Spokes Model program was to demonstrate to women that there was a safe and welcoming space for them in the gaming world. The initiative aimed to highlight female gamers who were not only active members of KSI but also competitive players. By putting these women in the spotlight, KSI sought to encourage more female gamers to join the community and participate in both casual and competitive gaming.

However, the Spokes Model program faced criticism from some quarters. Detractors argued that it was distasteful to spotlight women for their attractiveness rather than their gaming skills. This perception was contrary to the program's true intention, which was to celebrate the presence and contributions of female gamers within KSI. Despite the controversy, the Spokes Model team played an important role in the community for a brief period.

The program was eventually phased out, but its legacy remains a testament to KSI's ongoing commitment to inclusivity and the promotion of female gamers. To this day, KSI continues to have a strong female presence, with women playing key roles in both membership and leadership positions. The Spokes Model initiative is remembered as an early effort to create a supportive environment for women in gaming, reflecting KSI's core values of community and inclusivity.
