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, let me introduce myself first, Im Santeri “SHU” “Valkeejärvi. I started online gaming 2006 fall. I started as heavy public cs 1.6 gamer, after I realize that counter strike 1.6 was shit game. Then I bought Counter Strike: Source and played publics like six months. Then I found 5v5 gameform. (And also the little ones). I started playing many of clanbase matches in a day. For a while I played just with my friends and then turned to serious  clanbase gaming! With SAmZ and couple of my irl friends we started our serious-clanbase journey. Nowdays when I’m back in online gaming (thx to JackieBoy), I’m playing medic in RCTIC team fortress 2 team. (more…)

Hi y’all!

My name is Jack “JackieBoy” Tarvajärvi and I’m the captain of RCTIC.TF2. SaMZ asked me to write a blogpost about our team and first i was like: “Oh damn, that’s easy!”. But when the deadline was getting closer, I started to panic. I didn’t actually know what to write about. So because this is the second blogpost from our team and also there was a “free weekend” in TF2 I decided to write about TF2 configs and settings. So you can get more in to the game!

(more…)

Wassup people! This is my first blog post, so don’t judge me too hard.

I’ll introduce myself first, I’m 18 years old dude from Rauma. I’ve been playing a few games competitive before picking up TF2, I started with Counter-Strike 1.6 which I played with my irl friends and after a while I moved to CS:S which I didn’t play for too long, cause I fell in love with DotA which I played for kinda long as a tourney player, but it ended when I got kicked out of team I was playing in. These days I play under the RCTIC flag a game called tf2 as a soldier.

So, now I’ll introduce the people on my team, which I have come know so well in these past weeks, and the loving RCTIC organization.

JackieBoy is our teams leader and very lovable person to be playing with. Always happy and cheerful which is one of the reason I like to play with these guys

shu a.k.a sanhu is the medic of our team, he was a scout first but due to player changes. He switched to medic class and been doing fine and is getting better and better after every game.

TucE in the other hand is our team Demoman. He is cute that’s all I have to say about him. But in the more serious way, I couldn’t have a funnier guy in our team and it’s plus that he is cute, and occasionally he kills people.

zermu is my soldier partner, don’t have nothing much to say about him, he just never talks and kills people, and occasionally listens to HIM, because he is a graverobber or somekinda of madman.

Lille is our newest addition to our team because of Yerted’s leave from our team, we have been playing with him few weeks and all I can still say that he know how to shoot and is very likable person. I’ll know more of him when I meet him up on this week end solid mojo lan.

Now for the end I got few words to say about solid mojo which our team won’t be playing on but will be on there to have fun and hanging around with the other RCTIC members which there will be over 20 and that’s kinda a lot of people attending one LAN! Personally I am excited about the fact that I get to meet my team members irl, expect for zermu he is too poor to come Helsinki and hang around with us, I’m sorry for him. Wanted to meet him too, but nothing always goes like it should.

I’ll end up my post now, so I wont bore you with this anymore. But I guess you are, have to check mine posts later on!

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.

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