The team got its start in the pro circuit tournaments for the CS 1.6, winning many McDonald Coupons from LAN events all across the metropolitan tri-state area at local middle schools. The team consisted of five people at the time, the top fragger being summit1g's third cousin groundlevel1g. He had mastered the art of the one-deag at the age of 8 while practicing against Clip Art on Microsoft Powerpoint 2003. The crews big break was at DreamHack DHW10 against SK Gaming. In a sad turn of events the Butthorns were forced to pull out of ʸᵒᵘʳ ᵐᵒᵐ the tournament right before the finals due to groundlevel1g going into a diabetically induced coma and because ♥♥♥♥ this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ netcode I hit that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shot what the ♥♥♥♥ this ♥♥♥♥ is so broken, I can't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stand this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mouse the DPI is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. After the publicity the Butthorns gained from DreamHack they gained many sponsorships include iBuyPower & Plantronics. The team has a promotional code for www.iBuyPower.com where if you use the code ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you receive a .0008% discount on all orders over $42,000. The teams best AWPer "xxProShot.exe" built his entire home and out of mediocrely overpriced computers and from their success, sleeping on a king sized bed of Plantronic GameCom 788 headsets. Unfortunately the team had a falling out, where it's all-star player Lawmin had his problems with Mountain Dew addiction. Lawmin was sent to rehab for what we like to call in the competitive MLG scene as a Code Red & Cheetos overdose. What began as a rise to the top slowly turned into a downfall. To be continued.
