Almost one month ago we announced that we’re bringing in Team Fortress 2 team. Since then they’ve been doing quite ok but now they’re already facing some changes in their team. Anders “vitalis” Anderssen leaves the team due to motivation problems. To replace vitalis, our TF2 team have decided to bring in Matti “Yerted” Virtanen to team. Yerted isn’t well-known player yet even he isn’t new face in the scene. He had quite long break but he decided to make a comeback after Winter Assembly 2010 event and ended up to our team.

RCTIC.tf2 after changes:

Santeri “sanhu” Valkeejärvi
Jack “JackieBoy” Tarvajärvi
Otto “WRYYY” Kivikärki
Timo “Taimou” Kettunen
Jeremias “zermu” Heinonen
Matti “Yerted” Virtanen

Good luck to our team and Yerted in the upcoming competitions!

Our Team Fortress 2 team will be starting their first tournament under RCTIC’s name  today! They’ve signed into ASROCK Challenge that is organized by ASRock and esportsheaven.

RCTIC TF2 might be facing teams such as Dignitas, Power Gaming and Blight Gaming in this massive tournament that has 128 signed teams. The winner of this tournament will receive 6xASRock H55M Pro motherboards.

I had a chat with JackieBoy from RCTIC.TF2 lineup about his and the teams thoughts of this upcoming tournament.

Sup JackieBoy, How are you doing ?
Pretty good. Excited about the tournament tonight :)

What are your feelings towards the upcoming ASRock Challenge?
The 1st rounds map cp_freight is one of our best maps. When we have been playing our best we have been able to keep skilled teams busy ;) But dont get any expectations! We can still mess everything up :D

You might be facing some of the best teams of EU in this tourmanets, excited?
Div1 Team would be nice :) Maybe we could learn couple tips from them by reading their game and learn what we might be doing wrong.

Good luck in the tourmanet and most of all have fun! And yeah you can say your famous last words if you have some.
Dignitas here we come, lol!

Let’s all wish them good luck in ASRock Challenge!

Sup fellas? It’s been a while ( well not so long ) since I’ve “blogged” anything. Been busy as hell while doing some interesting things for RCTIC eSports club. Basicly I’ve been developing some websites and been so good so far, got couple of projects lined up for next month and still having fun.

Besides that I’ve been playing some warsow with Fatu from Menace and I am hooked to that game, yes I have played it before but never really learned anything but now I have found the instagib greatness. Jumping around, shootin’ some fools and giving a good whoopin’ for nerds!

But back to the subject websites.. Yeah it’s me who is developing the upcoming RCTIC website and I need you to tell me what do you want from the upcoming website. It’s still on the “drawing board” but I am starting to gather up some opinions and ideas what it should do. Webshop? Features? Something like that, you name it and I make it happen!

See ya later, Peace!
