There is a difference between individual elitism and clan elitism. Fact is, clans want to win ladder matches, so they use whatever weapon gives them the best chance to win. Which is shotty/rocket in classic, and mg in realism. You wont find much Mauser toting *I am God* behavior in clans because thats not what is important.

To find the so called elite clans, look on the ladders, and find the ones who are consistently winning matches. They may not have individual elite players, but obviously know what it takes to win matches. Those are also the clans who are likely near the point of implosion. Because dominant clans have problems with individual egos.

If you are really looking to join a clan, I wouldnt look for a so called elite clan, but instead find a clan server and play there for a while. If you find that you like the players, their style, their attitudes, etc. then that may be the clan for you. It will sure beat being an under-appreciated cog in a clan monster. cool:
