From Division 3:
Chuck E. CheezeChuck E. Cheeze (formerly known as Chucky Cheeze) is the oldest FDC to win their division this season. They started in the
DLOFDC in 2006 with a placement of 3rd in Division 3. In 2007 they were promoted to Division 2 but fell in the rankings to 14th. This devastating blow caused them to become inactive for the 2008 season, but they came back with a vengeance to win Division 3 this year.
In 2nd place we have Hurricane in Division 1, The Spartans in Division 2, and Nemesis in Division 3.
Hurricane started their
DLOFDC career in 2006 placing 4th in Division 3. They placed 6th upon moving up to Division 2 in 2007 and placed 3rd in their first year in Division 1 in 2008. This fantasy corps has consistently placed high over the years.
The Spartans is another fantasy corps who have had success in
DLOFDC. They started out as the Motor City Cadets in 2006 by placing 2nd in Division 3. In 2007 they were bumped to Division 2 and finished the season in 4th place. They mysteriously disappeared in 2008, but came back retooled as The Spartans this season.
Nemesis made their first appearance in 2007 where they took 1st place in Division 5. Financial problems caused them to not field a fantasy corps in 2008.
Third place this season goes to The Existentialists of Division 1, SM Knights of Division 2, and Hella Drummers of Division 3.
The Existentialists are the oldest FDC to medal this season. They have been in
