History
The PS3 years, from what the forum kept.
2ez Clan played Call of Duty on PS3 from 2010 to 2014. The forum opened on March 14, 2010. The backup we still have runs to June 15, 2011: 435 public topics and 4,754 posts from 305 people.
How it started
Memfis started 2ez in March 2010 with co-founders bigblue1575 and Gorilla_Crew. The pitch on the Call of Duty boards: “We are more of a serious gamer kind of clan but have fun doing it.”
If you wanted in, you got a 1v1 first. Winning didn't matter; it showed what you were good at. Then public matches, to see your teamwork and how you talked on the mic. It could take a day or a couple of weeks, because getting in was a clan decision, not one person's.
The ranks
Every rank had its own badge for your forum avatar. These are the official descriptions from the roster page.

2ezHouse tournaments
In-house brackets, designed by Memfis, played out on the forum. Tap one to zoom in.
Eleven teams of two, drawn from the whole clan.
Black Ops, Nuketown, hardcore free for all, best of three. The winner got clan recognition, a rank promotion and a custom signature designed by Memfis.
Four teams of four, one sitting out each game, every team on every map. Teams named themselves. The prize: clan recognition, a champion signature, and a cookie from gopher.
The last bracket we have, from the Black Ops 2 days.
