'''Congo''' was a French [[Hardcore Factions]] faction active from 2014 to 2016, led by [[xThazie]]. It took its name from the country, following the naming convention common among French rosters of the period.

Congo was one of the earliest French power factions, and the faction [[Ghana (faction)|Ghana]] set itself up against when [[Larkyo]] founded it on [[HCTeams Map 8|HCTeams Map 8]]. The pairing became one of the defining matchups of the early French scene.

=== Rivalry with Ghana ===
<div class="hcf-callout hcf-callout--danger">
[[Ghana (faction)|Ghana]] was the first French faction to position itself explicitly as a rival to Congo. Both used African country names, and the two are recorded on the [[Francophone players|francophone]] side of the wiki as the matchup that shaped the scene's early years.

<span style="color:#a00;">''Needs: which maps the two met on, and how the rivalry played out. Congo's 2014–2016 span and Ghana's start on HCTeams Map 8 overlap, so HCTeams is the likely ground.''</span>
</div>

== Roster ==
24 members recorded.
