## File:Agsf logo 25.png 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 **A**ustrian **G**erman - **S**pecial **F**orces, 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 :)

### 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.
