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…)

It has been almost two years since RCTIC saw the daylight. It’s not a long time in a human’s life but in Finnish eSports scene many haven’t been there for so long.

Our journey has been very rewarding: we have been grown up from a small organisation with a pair of squads and few managers into a big community supporting many squads and equipped with an excellent taskforce. We may announce with a good conscience that it is extremely difficult to find this great people from Finland which we have in our organisation and we feel very privileged because we can work with these people. Step by step we are on our way to reach our goal to be the most respected online game organisation in Finland. So this is not the end point; this is just a waypoint on this enjoyable journey.

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.

As the title says: TucE, one of our Team Fortress 2 squad’s players, has made a neat movie about the TF2 team. It is a clean movie with cool frags and nice soundtrack. I like it, and so do you. Nicely done TucE! Remember to switch to the HD quality and play it in fullscreen mode.

Also stay tuned on our You Tube channel for more videos!

Well hello fans. How are you? Fantastic! We here at RCTIC have a announcement to make for you fans out there. We have added a new member to our staff. Camilla “Pinxed” Hurula will be doing some writing and translating for us from this day forward! Sounds awesome huh? Now we have two(2) females showing us guys where the door is.

I(snd) asked Camilla a few questions about her. Read more if you want to know how she has became a nerd like

What’s up fellas! It’s been about one month since I wrote my last blog from Solid Mojo so it’s time to write a blog once again. So, how’s the things been going? Well, I’m having a annoying flu and also really nice cough and throat is feeling painful at some points, but it’s just caused by some virus so hopefully it goes over within few next days. But it’s been really nice 1-1,5 weeks for me now with this stuff going on, and there’s my cousin’s confirmation party coming up on weekend where I’m most likely heading.

How’s things going with RCTIC then? Our Call of Duty 4 team announced few changes in their team just couple days ago and they brought in some well-known names in Finnish scene which is good. We still have a lot of things going on and one of them is the new websites which is in coding phase and hopefully it will be up within next month.

Well, anything else really comes up to my mind so that’s all for now. Just remember to follow and watch some matches from Football World Cup 2010 from South Africa! Peace for now!

The Call of Duty 4 team we brought in a bit over one month ago have faced some changes. First off, soon after Gaming.fi CoD4 Challenge Miikka “micTAO” Lappi was removed from team and Jalmari “gnarly” Hakunti was brought in to replace him. Now it’s again time for someone to step down from main lineup and make room for someone. (more…)

Two days ago zeroPoint! Gaming announced list of European Clan Rankings for this month. Yesterday was turn for Player Rankings!

zP! gathered total of three ranking lists which are rifles, heavies and snipers. Each category has their own point system and all teams who were in European Clan Rankings were asked for their opinions which means total of 11 team got their opinion said. Unfortunately only zg from our DoD:S team managed to get enough of votes to make it to top list and in his case the list is snipers. zg is actually drawing first placement of sniper list with micHii from zeroPoint!, with both having 40 points.

Top 5 European Snipers

1. micHii – zeroPoint!
1. zg – RCTIC eSports
3. pentYum – rockit!
4. alone – casca
5. Link – Vicious and Evil

With drawing first placement of top snipers, zg and micHii are also drawing their place in dream team.

zeroPoint!
