AGSF.eSports e.V.
Template:Infobox squad AGSF.eSports e.V. (Austrian German Special Forces) is an incorporated society for electronic games with focus on Operation Flashpoint & Armed Assault.
Name, clantag and logo
- Name and clantag
The three founders looked for a name to identify with, and it had to allow a unique clantag. Expressing their desire to act as a skilled team and mentioning their home countries, they founded the Austrian German - Special Forces, short [AGSF]. As the Clan became a registered eSports association, the name was changed to AGSF.eSports e.V., basically to provide for a more professional look. The current clantag is AGSF|Nickname.eSports. The german abbreviation "e.V." means "registered association".
- Logo
It was a long process till we came upon our actual logo. You can see on the right where we started :)
Philosophy
According to the statutes, we focus on providing a platform for successful computer gaming in a well-organised team. However, our most important goal is to establish long term relationships between our members.

AGSF.arma
Armed Assault is our new hope for the next years. With 15+ members from the beginning, we´re in a good position to start. AGSF.arma is open for applies if you are 16 years of age or older.
AGSF.ofp
AGSF.ofp is our most famous section. Temporary with 60 members or more, we never had a lack of players . We have won most leagues and trophys in which we participated. AGSF.ofp is still open for funmatches, although all members have moved to AGSF.arma .
AGSF.bf2
The Battlefield 2 section was founded originally as a temporary solution to get over the time till the release of Armed Assault. Meanwhile it has evolved to a fully functional standalone section which participates with moderate success in several leagues.
AGSF.rts
This is our "Real Time Strategy" section (RTS) which is currently completely inactive due to its lack of a game worthy to play.
AGSF.fun
This section contains all players who like to play just for fun and have no semi-professional ambitions. Retired players, who have become good friends to us, also often stay in AGSF.fun to keep in touch with us.
