2cut

2cut's 3rd Emblem

### History

Way back in early 2014, 2cut was founded by Senormachete01 and llgatsby, two friends in real life not just on Playstation. Very shortly after pantic62, mikekiller-46 and jcon97 were among the first to join and represent 2cut.

2cut’s original emblem was a black background with the word 2cut in the colours of the Hungarian national flag and a knife in front of the 2.

This design was then changed for members of other nationalities, such as jcon97, pantic62 and mikekiller-46, whom created their own with the corresponding national flag colours.

There was an arguement early on before 2cut had formed. between Senormachete01 and Joao\_S\_L. They both went their seperate ways after this with Killswitch4738 staying by Joao’s side and jcon97 sticking by Senor.

#### 2015-2016

Around early 2015 this early iteration of 2cut was disbanded by llgatsby, shortly after, Pantic62 reformed 2cut to it’s true self, old members such as; Deadmau5Youtube, Senormachete01 and jcon97 rejoined and each lead the clan from then on.

Around the time of Battlefield Hardline’s release, jcon and Killswitch had bumped into eachother on a knife only server and soon Joao also we became friends again. It took some persuasion but soon senor let his dislike for Joao subside.

After a 6 month period playing BFH jcon and senor returned to BF4 knife only

Between 2015-2016 knife only was at its peak, atleast 4 active knife servers with 4 major clans with 20+ members each. 2cut, JSON, STAB and SOD. Back then there was a big clan war between STAB and JSON, 2cut didn’t have much part in this to begin with as the relationship between Senor and JSON Founder VI-VI-VI-1134 wasn’t great. Eventually they worked through their differences and 2cut was allied with JSON against STAB.

After 2cut enter the clan war, Deadmau5Youtube would 1v1 ressaurectiom, the STAB Founder on a few occasions, one of which jcon97 recorded. Soon after, eager to prove themselves 2cut agreed to clan battle STAB in what was a 5v5 due to our low member count at the time. It was a close match throughout and STAB certainly played to win and in the end with the score at 97-98 to STAB. Cekkichaun, a newer member to 2cut, gets 3 kills to seal the win for 2cut, in what was our first victory in a clan battle. We went on to win the second round too. A little more comfortably this time by a margin of 15.

After winning the clan battle 2cut started to grow but due to the rules senor had in place, it was a very tough task to get into 2cut and so it became a clan for an exclusive, elite group of knifers.

Alot of 2016 to Battlefield 1’s release was spent skimirshing with STAB founders and leaders and becoming good friends with a number of JSON members in the process, some of whom switched allegiances to 2cut. Such as locutusut. It was around mid 2016 that pandas\_conquest9 and klufe and wingrove45 joined 2cut from STAB, Panda and klufe would 1v1 almost religiously, training to better one another (check out panda’s memoir) this was always good to see as it was more often than not a close match. Around this war between STAB and JSON. BLKN was founded by Alahalla, and mostly consisted of ex STAB members.

Rcut was founded on 25th of May, 2016 by Kodokuri and Japanese 2cut(Jcut) was founded around the same time after Kaiza-GGO and a large portion of the Japanese players in JSON fell out of favour with VI-VI-VI-1134. The reason for Senor’s idea of the creation of Jcut was so that 2cut itself as a platoon would not become overcrowded.

In August of 2016 Alpha-Scorpion13 had created the then official 2cut Instagram page.

We had a clan battle against SOD which only went for 1 round after they had to forfeit due to members leaving the game around 3 quarters of the way through and about 50 kills down. It was a clan battle that I think ultimately, retired SOD.

Our 3rd Clan battle was against a Greek Clan with the tag XIOS. It was a good clan battle which 2cut had won both the first and second round. it was a 7v7, if my memory serves me correct. The Greek clan was one with their own server for around 2 months and a friendly group of people whom we shared some fun with in the server immediately after the clan battle.

Our 4th clan battle was against STAB again, this time around it was a much tougher battle, with the likes of SpeedX\_thePlayer and XL-Sharkskriller playing this time around. We won the first round by around 5 or 10 kills and lost the second round by about 25. The final round 2cut came out swinging and we took the fight to STAB we stuck by eachother and capitalised on STAB’s mistakes and won by forfeit when ressaurectiom left prematurely due to stab losing by about 15 with 2cut needing less than 10 kills to win.

#### 2017

2017 was an interesting time with 2cut and knife only in general. Due to the release of Battlefield 1, many players had moved on from Knife only in the hope to start it anew on the new battlefield game, but many people didn’t like the way the knife mechanics worked. 2cut was moved over to BF1 but it wasn’t apart of much knife only there.

JSON had disbanded, STAB had become so few that it was rare to see them play anymore and 2cut was barely clinging onto its server and it seemed as though BF4 Knife only was dying off. However a new clan called Shankerz Elite (Ouch) had came about, Founded by Grumpalumpz. Soon after (KNIF), (HUNT) and (NOTO) had been founded too. These clans all appeared roughly around the same time. 2cut had allied with both (KNIF) and (HUNT). There was a little bit of friction between both Jcut and (NOTO) due to the latter clan’s leader disrespecting Jcut and Hunt.

During the later end of 2017 around a month before the release of BF1 our 5th and final clan battle with Shankerz Elite(Ouch) took place again with 2cut winning in the end. GrumpaLumpz remained a friend of 2cut. but we haven’t heard much from him in a couple of years now.

#### 2018-22

Over the course of 2018 jcon97 was mostly absent from Knife Only on BF4, it was a relatively uneventful year in Knife Only due to members moving to other games. It was around 2018 that the story of Martu’s medbag came around and the the many memes and memories of this too. Here is where it all began

Around the time of the 2018 Football world cup jcon97 had gone back to knifing for about a month or 2 with zaky05, some of this is discussed on a video.

2cut began to flourish again in 2019 with the return of Pantikku, SenorMachete01 and Kodokuri. 2cut was beginning to be as strong as it once was in its prime back in 2016-17, we began gaining new members, and began to rent servers again, the only server that was active other than the 2cut server during this time was a server owned by Kittywild470, a friend of Bones2769. After a few months members such as Senor took leave again and knife only seemed to be dying again.

In 2020 Bones2769 had since left 2cut and created Nash Force(NF) and had the only running Knife only server, besides Sakurasaku219’s Asia Knife Only, by this time. Still few 2cut members were still active. jcon97 had since started 1v1ing as a primary source of content for YouTube, this is where jcon97 met Kitsumi. paemicaEC was still active along with Gianluca351 and SuperTriceps. Mostly Knife only at this point consisted of 1v1s rather than a proper knife fight. vDqtox had joined and left after a disagreement with Gianluca351 and didn’t want to be in the same clan as him.

Later that year there was drama between vDqtox and jcon97. This quarrel ended when within a week or two of it starting. Since this vDqtox has been civil with 2cut and jcon97.

In 2021, knife only began to pick up once again. This time more randoms were joining, bones’ server was going strong and a B2K server was also active for a while until bones hadn’t renewed his server, jcon97 rented a server on and off for a month or two before playing other games again.

jcon97 rented his most recent server as a 2cut knife only server at 5th of April 2022. This 2cut server has been the home for many knifers and has over 900 favourites at the time of writing this. Kitsumi, bones and many others became admin.

*It has been host to some great memorys and great friendships during its short time as has the clan of 2cut over its longer course. Nearly 9 years of this great clan- no, Family.* - jcon97, Wordpress Blog. 2022

Killswitch returned in the following month and was an old friendship rekindled. Soon after pandas\_conquest9 returned too and we all became closer friends. The 4 of us strived to try and bring 2cut back to its past glory, as one last push towards the end of battlefield 4’s life. Then when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Pantic, Joao, and Mikekiller all return. We were all in an Instagram Leadership Groupchat and there has been a lot of debating with how to make 2cut the best it can be like before and there has been a lot of give and take from everybody. Yes, i will admit there were times that this chat did get a little bit heated, but it should that these leaders had a passion for the clan they called home. In the end after all this debating jcon, pantic and mike spoke privately and we had come to the agreement that we should retire 2cut as a clan, whilst remembering all the members that there has been both past and present, and creating this story of 2cut to preserve our history. We decided how best to approach forwarding our idea to the rest of the active leaders, and we went with it a day or 2 later. In the end all the leaders did agree that this would be best as it still preserves the way 2cut was.

### Statements and quotes

Pantic announced this to the rest of the clan a few days later. –*‘Hello everyone, sorry for the delay. This is not a nice thing to announce but we have come to the conclusion that it is best to put an end to 2cut. It is a difficult descision but for which we all, the founders/leaders have agreed. Everything comes to an end at some point, and this clan deserves a really good one, after so many years in business. Founded in 2014, and to this day, this clan has been the only one to survive the conflicts, wars and decline of the knife only. 2cut has always been a premium clan, exclusive and very difficult to access, a prestigious clan that has had the best knifers of all time, but there is one more and no less important feature that differentiates it from the rest… and that is we have always been and are a big family. Precisely that has allowed us to stay together in the face of adversity and to get to this day. I don’t know many of you or we have only played together for a short time, but it has been a pleasure to share a piece of the history of this clan with you. the history of this clan has already been writtenand we have all been a part of it, we should be proud. Anyway the idea is to leave 2cut closed forever and keep it as a relic so that no one forgets our glorious past. Leaving it only with the founders inside, but also with a list in the biography of all members of the clan, both current and former members who have been part of the history of this clan. No one should be forgotten. This is the end of an era but it can also be the beginning of another, in which the disappearance of our beloved 2cut could lead to the appearance of new clans that refresh this old game that is about to turn 9 years old. Another important thing to mention is that the clan won’t be closed immediately, we are planning on joining the server for a family picture and playing all together for one last time:’) but it’s not decided when yet. Till then, enjoy the remaing time as 2cuts! Even if we don’t use 2cut tags anymore, we will still remain as one. See you in another life 2cut, thanks everyone, we made history <3′*

This has been an amazing few years that I have spent in your company, I don’t know what lies ahead, but I go forward with these great memories and lasting friendships that I have built with most of you. Thank you guys for everything you have done and acheived for our great clan, but for yourselves as well. All of you are family to me, I wish you all the best on the battlefield and in life. I look forward to seeing you all on the battlefield. – jcon97
