]]> http://rctic.org/2010/08/our-css-team-selected-to-esl-pro-series-season-3/feed/ 3 Updating the situation & introducing new RCTIC.CSS! http://rctic.org/2010/08/updating-the-situation-introducing-new-rctic-css/ http://rctic.org/2010/08/updating-the-situation-introducing-new-rctic-css/#comments Wed, 11 Aug 2010 17:29:40 +0000 News http://rctic.org/?p=1562 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.

But here is the new RCTIC’s CS:S stand-in squad:

Lauri “Jonssen” Niitamo, 21

Jonssen is the team’s in-game leader and all-around player. He has been playing on his career in teams like Insignia Cadre and Afterlife. His achievements have been e.g. 1st Clanbase EuroCup XII, 1st CCSSL-i Season 3, 1st EuroCSS LAN #1, 1st CAL Europe Main S06, 2nd Assembly Winter 07 and much much more.
Micko “WaRsLuT” Hakala, 17

He is the main AWP of the team and is able to win rounds almost himself with his excellent aiming. His former teams have been PINGU and Afterlife in which they managed to place 3rd at Solid Mojo.
Ville “Kelli” Kettunen, 18

Kelli owns incredible gaming intelligence and aim. He is a former player of Finland’s national CS:S team and has achieved for example 1st place at Clanbase Nationscup XII and Solid Vaultparty, 3rd place at Assembly Summer ‘08 and 4th place in ‘09.
Joonas “nuveR” Heinonen, 20

Nuver is the second in-game leader of the team and plays with AWP when needed. He is a former player of e.g. Northwave and cZar and has placed 1st at Assembly Winter 08 and Gurulan 07. He also managed to place 3rd at ESPC #1 and Assembly Winter 07.
Jermu “xeriex” Loikkanen, 19

Jonssen stated that xeriex is the most insane player he has ever met. He is a player of Finnish national team 2010 and has played in teams such like PINGU and Random-Gaming / Team CMAX.gg.

Thank you RCTIC eSports and sponsors that we may play under your name! – Jonssen

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
