It’s official! RCTIC brings in a Call of Duty 2 team!

January 20th, 2011

Few months back, back in 2010 we announced that we are taking in a finnish Call of Duty 2 team, but on a trial period. Now we have decided to make it official to have a CoD2 team under our wings. Team has performed quite well online and they visited at [flag fi] Lantrek 2011 event last weekend, where they however didn’t make it to playoffs.

Statement by Niko “ekk1n” Jauhiainen
“We are thankful that RCTIC decided to recruit us into their organization. RCTIC and their sponsors offers all needed support for us. We are going to continue playing at ClanBase’s ladders and also in online tournaments. We’re also aiming to attend all possible LANs with CoD2 in Finland and possibly even travel to Croatia by next summer for upcoming Gamersject LAN. -PEACE!”

RCTIC.CoD2 consists of

LanTrek 2011 Win!

January 16th, 2011

Maintained my LanTrek championship by defeating Hemosa in the finals. I used mainly Bruce in the tough matches, but also some Lars. There was an okayish Kuma player I didn’t get to play against. I won Hemosa in Winners finals 3-2 and then 3-0 in the grand finals, 3-0 against Fraeon. I also didn’t get to play against Hemosa’s friend Potta, who has an okayish Steve.

The tournament displays were awful once again. The LG TV had loads of input lag, my estimate would be something like 30 frames. Luckily there was a CRT TV as the other game station. But even that was somehow weird with timings – my guess is that it was an old 50hZ TV instead of the normal 60hZ so it was probably running only 50fps. The tournament format was very good compared to last year – round robin with 4 groups of 4 and then a double elimination bracket of top8. Round robin was bo3 matches, bo5 rounds and the bracket was bo5 matches, bo5 rounds so Hemosa would’ve had to defeat me 6 times in the grand finals. But as we know he didn’t. :)

My prize for #1 is a 50€ gift card to TrioSoft and 6 months subscription of MikroBitti magazine. Hemosa got a box of Teho energy drink. :)

Next tournament will be Winter Assembly in 4 weeks time. See you there!

Thanks to all the supporters and sponsors, especially RCTIC’s cod2 team!
