EPS Season 3

ESL Pro Series Season 3 will be starting by the end of this month and therefor ESL has released list of teams whom have been selected to participate in Season 3 of Pro Series. This season will feature total of 14 teams and this list includes some well-known teams in European CS:S scene like CKRAS Gaming, DSRack, H2k Gaming and Reason Gaming. Completely list of teams can be found below. (more…)

As some of you might have noticed our CS:S and CoD4 squads have been left the organisation because of many player changes and lack of motivation. We want to thank them for their contribution for our organisation and wish good luck for their future.

But today we are also glad to announce our new CS:S squad which will be playing under our tag at ESPC. After a while of negotiations we saw that this team would be the best choise to represent us in the future. So we will have them as team in trial from now on since the lenght of their trial period hasn’t been decided and we see the trial period essential since the situation of the teams of Finnish eSports scene is too unstable at present and we don’t want to take that risk anymore where the team which has been directly taken in starts to change its players or alternatively fold after a month of active playing. (more…)

The Finnish eSports website, Gaming.fi, have announced a list about Finland’s top 8 Counter-Strike: Source teams and our team is featured in this list. The list is last month’s toplist but there’s new list coming sometime soon after Solid Mojo LAN-event. All teams were asked about their opinion on what’s top5 like so this list have been made based on team’s votes. Next list is however made with the help of an committee so team’s won’t most likely have a chance to say their opinions anymore.

Gaming.fi Top 8 list:

1. CKRAS Gaming
2. eXelon Gaming (former KOJOTSONLINE)
3. table for five
4. from roihuvuori h00ds (former eXelon)
5. Afterlife Gaming
6-7. ACSI eSports (former Team Majestic)
6-7. RCTIC eSports
8. Team Menace.fi

I haven’t been blogging for a while, since I’ve been busy as hell with work. Also I’ve been taking a break before the development of the upcoming website of RCTIC. Yeah I am the guy who is responsible for the code of our upcoming website, I’ve been also behind the UX ( User Experience ) and Usability. Though I am not the designer, I’ve only been giving some heavy critique for the design so it would be something easy to use. :) It bothers me though that I haven’t been able to participate in the LAN events that our guys have been in like ESPC 2010, but what can you do, time is limited.

So our new website is under development, but what else is going on? The CS:S crew qualified into CB EuroCup and will start their journey pretty soon, that’s positive! We have also been doing some renewing to our temporary website, for example player profiles. Now you can see what kinda gear our players work with and get a closer look who we are. Check it out on our team page!

Mut now for the subject that I’ve been wanting to ask: What do you want from our upcoming website? Our goal is to create a website that has high usability, it’s fresh and more community friendly. In the future we will be blogging and writing stories more often, better and with some pictures and other media, eye candy coming up!

Get your keyboards working and tell us what do you want from our upcoming website!

Peace! – snd
