Enjoy the ride

March 28th, 2010

Right before the ESPC I think it’s proper to tell something about our plans. Things have been going fast back and forth and there is no time to even see what’s going on. There isnt enough time for everything, so we have been forced to priorize our tasks. Still our notebooks are full of plans and we are trying to get them done, little by little.

So what’s going on in the organization?

What comes to the content, our accents have been going for visual materia from events. Our hard drives have several hours of videomaterial from lan events and bootcamps, where they are waiting for editing. So you should wait for lots of new videos and what comes to the text content, we are trying to boost them up with some amazing photography. A new videocamera is in “must have list”, so hopefully we will get some funds for that ASAP.

In these past weeks, we’ve been designing our new website and the first raw versions been done. There are still some arguements within management, but the main point is to bring out something fresh and as you know things don’t happen’ in couple of days, so pation is required even though we would like to offer you something more already.

How’s our games going?

I must say that I am feeling privileged that I can play in such a great team. The passions and persistence that glows from our players is infectious. It’s cool to walk home from work knowing that the same people are still swiping their mice and going for the top even though the day before hasn’t gone so well.

On the other hand I am bit sad that we had to change a player after january’s events, but at this moment I can say that our team is more balanced and the team spirit is rising. What comes to our team play and tactics, well.. they need to be whet. There has been lots of progress and our goals are being build up and focused on the coming fall.

On spring and summer our plans is to get as much experience as we can get from finnish tournaments and at the same time to rise our team spirit with RCTIC parties. Our next event, where you can see us will be this weekend at Helsinki. After the upcoming ESPC 2010, our plan is to visit couple of events before fall.

Final Words..

Last week me and SaMZ were driving a long way to see one of our sponsor. While sitting in the car and rolling our thumbs we noticed again that the destination is just a part of the journey. So let’s enjoy the ride with open heart! The road will not end short.
