This weekend was a crazy one to be honest. I am feeling pretty proud that our Counter-Strike:Source team finished 4th at Winter Assembly 2010.  What can I say? They played well and went to the semifinals, but KOJOTSONLINE and troublemakerz was too much for them, maybe next time! The next even will be SOLID LAN event or something else, I am not sure yet but I’ll be there. The timing of winter assembly was bad for me personally since I’ve got so much to do in personal life ( new apartment etc) that I just couldn’t find the time.

You think that the team was only one working at weekend? I gotta say no for that one. Me and k3mpo been spamming our facebook profile like crazy with updates from the event and I’ve been working with our temporary website at the same time.  Well I had fun doing that!

One thing at the winter assembly made me quite sad, there was no Call of Duty competition. Well ok mw2 messed things up pretty bad, but still cod4 competition would be so awesome.  Ok the main reason is that the scene is splitted up.. mw, mw2, cod2, waw. What they should pick? Well maybe at summer assembly. So the missing cod competition made me do some sadface but tf2 made me smile, it is just fun to watch, personally I suck at it and badly, but it is just so awesome to watch. Fast gameplay, great graphics and with shoutcasting from wabbit its gooooood.

Since my blog starts to loose its grip, I think its time to stop this. Peace!

Our CS:S team have placed 4th at Winter Assembly 2010 event after losing to troublemakerz in bronzematch with mapwins of 2-0 (de_train & de_dust2). But overall, this event was a big success for our team as it was a big surprise to make it into playoffs with only one more rounds won than eXelon Gaming, who didn’t make it to playoffs. As Team zOo and eXelon Gaming was favourites of our group to advance to playoffs, no one thought that we would make it to playoffs so therefor our top4 placement is really big surprise. But congrats for our boys once again for grabbing 4th place!

There is also a VoD available from the semifinal RCTIC vs KOJOTSONLINE, you can check it over here

Some update on the Winter Assembly 2010 semifinals. Our CS:S squad just finished their game against KOJOTSONLINE. The maps were de_nuke and de_inferno and from the start of nuke it didn’t look so good for us, but they did try to hang on.

vs KOJOTSONLINE 2-0 (de_nuke & de_inferno)

Finals: KOJOTSONLINE vs Team zOo-
Bronze: RCTIC vs troublemakerz – SourceTV: 85.188.57.21:27020

The next match will be against the loser of the other semifinal game for the 3rd and 4th place. So we are at the top4. Well done guys! Updates coming after the last game. Stay tuned!

So.. where should I start? Oh yeah the Winter Assembly 2010 event has started yesterday and  we here at RCTIC are very proud of our CS:S team that managed to place second at their  group and advance to the playoffs. They played against zOo and eXelon Gaming with some good results.

vs zOo 13-16
vs eXelon Gaming 15-15
vs Crystal Sky 16-0

So we needed eXelon gaming to lose against zOo without getting more than 12 rounds. And it  did happen! They lost in de_inferno 16-12. It got exciting when zOo started giving them some fairly easy rounds and as PassengeR was in the shoutcasting booth he started to get some pressure when it seemed that the game would go to eXelon, but damn we are lucky that the final result was this. All I can say is well played zOo and well played eXelon.

So what is new? Well the temporary website is released, I am being more geeky than ever  and ermm.. well nothing else in my life.

But hey lets not stick to the offtopic and go on with the show. The semifinals start today ( atleast I think so ) and I hope we will be seeing some great games from our very own CS:S team. Good luck fellas!

Peace!
