🎉 We Did It! 🎉

Kalmarunionen is now officially the #1 competitive hacking team in the world! 🏆

✨ The Road to #1

It’s been an incredible journey since we started in 2020, climbing our way up the global rankings on CTFtime.org:

• 2020: 66th place
• 2021: 15th place
• 2022: 10th place
• 2023: 3rd place
• 2024: 1st place 🚀

So many weekends, late nights, and countless hours of hacking, planning, and fun went into reaching the top. We faced defeats, learned from them, and came back stronger—time and time again.

⏳ Our Five-Year Adventure

• We’ve stayed up 48 hours straight more times than we can count. 💤
• We’ve traveled around the world for competitions. ✈️
• We’ve watched new friendships form along the way.
• We’ve seen students evolve from beginners to sought-after security experts, proving that learning and innovation truly pay off.

💪 Our Mission

We set out to build the world’s best CTF team and create a nurturing environment for aspiring hackers. We’re immensely proud of every team member and so grateful for the unwavering support from friends, family, and all our supporters.

❤️ Thank You!

Thank you for helping us achieve this milestone! Here’s to keeping the momentum going in 2025. Stay tuned—our next adventure is just around the corner!
