RG enjoyed a few months at #1 on the OGL ladder by knocking out FTM (F*ck the Mainland), but was later defeated when S3 (South Side Stoners) reformed and worked their way back up the ladder.

It's also important note that FTM was one of longest running teams and constantly in the top 5-10

this is more interesting than i thought
it seems accepted that they hit #1 barring a few strays, but then why is the archive picture incorrect?
solve this tribal history mystery!

Yes, FTM did hit #1 on OGL fielding 9 players living in Hawaii, 8 of which were lan'd together at Lortz' house that day.
If I remember correctly, it was s3 that we beat and the win came on the third map which was Raindance by a last second cap from Style.

All I remember about FTM for sure was once playing a match on their home server in Hawaii with everyone on our team pinging 400+

There was a reason why The Sticks played a map on our Hawaii server. I was the one that had to negotiate servers with Sarcastik. He would not bend at all and allow all maps to be played on a neutral server that was a decent ping for everyone. Since he made us play on your East Coast server, you got to play on our Hawaii server.

the funny (and sad) thing is Tribes maybe was the pinnacle of competitive gaming eSports history. OGL had 150+ 10v10 teams IIRC. Even new, mega-blockbuster retardo games like CoD don't get those numbers.
We may never have had prize circuits, press, or popularity, but we may have had the most active competitive gaming community of all time

..what
well we did have a big ladder and a pretty centralized community, but we were never "big" comparatively
