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.

Next ESL EMS season is on it’s way

August 16th, 2010

So, i decided to write a blog about how things are going with our DoD:s team.

As I haven’t written any blogs before I think I should start by giving a little introduction to who I am. So, my name is Joonas Järvinen, I am a 22 year old student from Vaasa. I am one of the founding members of RCTIC, which have been an interesting road this far and hopefuly it just gets better! And I am also leader of RCTIC DoD:S team. Our team has been in RCTIC for longest time, I think we joined RCTIC at march of 2009 or something like that so I think it is pretty respectable (as we really only have changed couple of players) time for a team involved in eSports where people join and quit organizations for like two months.

taateli makes a comeback to DoD:S team!

April 24th, 2010

Yes, that’s right! The player who left the team because he decided to retire from active gaming is back again! And this player is no one else than Tatu “taateli” Helander! Tatu left the team back in January and team recruited Mika “Crossi” Arttonen to replace him. Besides that, Tatu has been one of the core members of our DoD:S team as he has played with team’s leader, Joonas “RydeR” Järvinen for years now. So, welcome back Tatu and good luck for the team for future’s competitions!

Statement by Joonas “RydeR” Järvinen:
After so many things we have tried out since the latest EMS we have finaly settled out with our current line-up. We brought in Crossi who first came in as our heavy, but he is more comfortable as a rifle so we gave him that place. We have had some guys as try outs as our heavy, but today, after many times of me asking, taateli has decided to come and play with us as our final heavy. There is no way I can descripe how happy I am right now for that.
