Host, short for HaZe Online Sports Troupe, is a professional eSports organization that was founded during Challenge 2 of The Wiki Camp 2.
History
Origin
Host formed when Diary wanted to start her own esports team so she could expand her catalogue of fighting games. The first person she invited was Nurse Cap, who introduced Diary to traditional fighters. Wondering how to gather more members for the team, the two began throwing around the idea of an ad campaign. Nurse Cap eagerly offered to take on advertising for the team, creating a poster that read "join us for competitive games :)" thinking simplicity would bring the right people in. Due to a mistake during printing, only "games :)" could be read in the actual distributed poster.
Expansion of scope
Despite the misprint, the posters for Host (colloquially known as Hosters) were put up and displayed across Wikiland, attracting new members to the team. However, several of these new members joined with the pretense that Host was just a casual BYOG meetup. Some examples of gaming equipment brought to the first official meeting were: a Nintendo Entertainment System, a fully-functioning Gameplu, five copies of Settlers of Catan, a complete set of Lethal Dominoes, and Kirby. A bit conflicted, Diary and Nurse Cap decided to allow these less-competitive focused members to join the team, if only because it was getting a little lonely to only play sets against the same opponent IRL so many times.

Trivia
- Smobo has dabbled in other games in the Paperboy franchise, such as Paperboy 2 (SNES) and Paper Boy: Wheels on Fire (Blackberry), but the NES game is the only one xey play competitively.
- Son of Dracula has never played a mainline Touhou game.
- Nurse Cap dabbles in all kinds of traditional fighting games, but considers 3rd Strike her home where her heart and dedication both lie.
- [THE ZEITGEIST] did not see the advertisements for the team, but heard from word of mouth that there was an eSports team going around recruiting members. [THE ZEITGEIST] proceeded to join thinking that "eSports" meant "exciting sports", in the hopes of finding a quarterback player for a football team. By the time HaZe figured out [THE ZEITGEIST]'s misunderstanding, it was too late - the damage had already been done.
