Nitro Type Stars

Nitro Type Stars, or otherwise known as [NTS] is a team led by Samsher. Although no longer active, the team had a very long history during its tenure.

History

The Clan Era (April-June)

NTS was first created in April 2014 by Samsher, back when the official forums were still up. Many original members joined during this period, including Nitrotype337, Ben_Boy, InfinitySpeed, and Knight. During the clan era, NTS gained some members, but SBD was still considered the most dominant and elite clan by far. When the forums shut down in May due to attacks, most NTS members kept the tag in their name and vowed to stay loyal.

Early Team Era (June-August)

During this era, teams could keep 200 members on their rosters. NTS therefore faced stiff competition from the largest teams at the time, including the dominant DFT and NTA, and also from the powerhouse of SBD. NTS slowly began to gain members, such as philliesmagic who disbanded his highly successful 200 member team 31L, while SBD's recruiting slowed. DFT's leader, YouNeverFightMyType, also essentially stopped racing from his high activity levels earlier.

Middle Team Era (September 2014-February 2015)

Once team sizes were reduced to 50 members, NTS really began to take off. The days of member hoarding were over. SBD's members declined in activeness with the coming of school and were distracted by other games. NTS had worked its way up to #1 on the all time scoreboards with over 103,000 races, and was consistently in the top 3 on all activeness scoreboards. The team also has an impressive all-time average of 90 wpm, which has been increasing recently. It was widely considered the most elite team in all of Nitro Type, and overthrew DFT and built up a lead on the former kings of the scoreboard.

In 2015, NTS began to see a decline in activity. The team isn't active anymore and has never placed in the top 70 of any season.
