Jason '''"kaidus"''' Allen was an English [[Demoman]] and has been ranked amongst the world's best in that class for several years. His play-style tended towards aggression, often combined with dynamic movement through the use of [[Movement|sticky jumping]]. His aptitude with this movement made him regarded as the fastest at map [[Rollout|rollouts]] in Europe if not the whole world. After playing for a series of top teams, kaidus was forced to retire from playing competitively due to a wrist injury.<ref>[http://www.teamfortress.tv/33122/ Kaidus retires from nerdRage.tf2]</ref> kaidus returned to the competitive scene as a coach for [[Crowns eSports Club]] at [[i58]] in which the team won.

On the 10th of December Kaidus announced the formation of [https://twitter.com/Se7enTF2 Se7en], a TF2 organization with the intent on making sure Europe has representation at any major events outside of Europe.
The team is currently running a [https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/europe-to-rewind-at-esports-arena#/ Fundraiser] in order to get to Rewind LAN at the Esports Arena in California, this is hoped to me the only fundraiser Se7en will have to do. Kaidus' role will be limited to team manager and out of game couch.

kaidus was an outspoken member of the community and had served on numerous competitive-focussed talk shows such as Pirate Radio<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/user/PirateRadioTF2 Pirate Radio TF2 Podcast]</ref> and Fully Charged<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf27BHuLrQCYEzo6Pb0HbUuLMnvkoCcDP TeamFortressTV Fully Charged! Europe playlist]</ref>. He was also one of the most popular high level livestreamers in the community and frequently streamed his team's [[Glossary#PCW|PCW]]s.

Additionally, he created a number of "Rollout Workshop" videos to provide instructions for improving the movement speed of aspiring Demoman players.
