DoD:S team calls it a day, RydeR goes for TF2

October 2nd, 2010

Our organization has recently faced some big chances within the gaming teams. Our Day of Defeat: Source which has been part of our organization nearly as long as RCTIC have just existed, have decided to call it a day and go their separate ways and look for new challenges.

Since Day of Defeat: Source is quite old game by now, the scene isn’t too big nowadays which makes it harder to recruit new players who has some skills and knowledge about the game. And due to this fact, our team have decided to call it a day and stop playing together. Crossi, zr0 and zagge will continue their journey in scene of DoD:S while others will be looking for new challenges from other games like TF2, HoN or SC2.

DoD:S team’s leader, Joonas “RydeR” Järvinen, is a good example of player going for new challenges by changing the game. He decided to test Team Fortress 2 and nowadays he’s playing it active and he has even found a team as he joined our very own TF2 team! RydeR will be filling the spot left by ROBO who decided to leave the team for some reason. We would like to wish all the best and good luck to rest of DoD:S players for your gaming careers or whatever you guys decide to do!

Jack “JackieBoy” Tarvajärvi had the following to say about RydeR joining the team:

“We’re very happy about RydeR joining our team. We think that he was a perfect pick for the team and we’re going to train him hard these 27days and prepare him for Insomnia. I wish all the good for Robo and wish he will continue TF2 someday :) I would like to thank our sponsors and hope to see all of you “fans” @ Insomnia!”

I (k3mpo) also managed to catch RydeR for a little interview. Here’s what he had to say about DoD:S team quiting and how he ended joining up our TF2 Team.

You guys in DoD:S team have decided to call it a day, how you came up with this decision?

“Some players within our DoD:s crew started get tired with the game and since the scene is so small getting new players who know how to play is very hard if not impossible. So, because of thats we decided it is best to stop now. We had a long and good run and we had so much fun during our time playing together so ofcourse I feel a bit sad but it was the best thing to do.”

Do you know what kind of plans others have for the future, will they continue gaming or are they going to quit gaming totally?

“Crossi, zr0 and zagge have decided to keep on playing DoD:s but rest have either started playing some other game, like tf2, sc2 or hon.”

You decided to stop playing DoD:S and change game into Team Fortress 2 and you even joined our TF2 team. How you came up with decision to change game and how have you liked playing with our TF2 team so far?

“Ye, I was one the people who were getting tired of DoD:s, as we decided to stop playing I pretty much immediately went to tf2 forums and started searching for a team. I had few offers wich I tried out and then Jackiboy came and asked if I would play for them, I didn’t need to think even for a second for that one since they as a team are exactly what I have been searching for. It has been fun this far playing with them. I still got loads of stuff I need to learn but I think I am learning it pretty fast.”
