After meeting at a local Columbus, Ohio GameCrazy tournament, the Competitive Gamings Association and Pain Is Love crews would never again be the same. Both crews had their own members, but after that chance meeting, the two crews found themselves playing with each other quite often. In the smash community, it is quite rare to even have one professional level crew in a city, and it's even rarer to have two, so this was an opportunity not to be ignored.

They started attending tournaments together, carpooling, and even teaming at tournaments. After some time, many members from both CGA and PIL began to drop out of the scene making what would have otherwise been a size of two and perhaps three crews, down to a size of one crew. As the group rose in popularity, maintaining the distinction of the two crews was not easy, and it wasn't a distinction either crew desired to maintain. Having never actually played their long time planned CGA/PIL crew battle, and the neither crew having enough readily available members to actually go through with the battle, the crews finally decided to merge together. | They started attending tournaments together, carpooling, and even teaming at tournaments.

After deciding on a name, "CoK" was formed promptly after '''CGA2''', and more specifically during the announcement of the crew's first tournament event ('''CoKI''') with wide acceptance within the community. The crew's name was the topic of many ill-humored jokes with particular focus on the phallic nature of their logo. | After deciding on a name, "CoK" was formed promptly after '''CGA2''', and more specifically during the announcement of the crew's first tournament event ('''CoKI''') with wide acceptance within the community.
