How’s things going?

June 17th, 2010

What’s up fellas! It’s been about one month since I wrote my last blog from [flag fi] Solid Mojo so it’s time to write a blog once again. So, how’s the things been going? Well, I’m having a annoying flu and also really nice cough and throat is feeling painful at some points, but it’s just caused by some virus so hopefully it goes over within few next days. But it’s been really nice 1-1,5 weeks for me now with this stuff going on, and there’s my cousin’s confirmation party coming up on weekend where I’m most likely heading.

How’s things going with RCTIC then? Our Call of Duty 4 team announced few changes in their team just couple days ago and they brought in some well-known names in Finnish scene which is good. We still have a lot of things going on and one of them is the new websites which is in coding phase and hopefully it will be up within next month.

Well, anything else really comes up to my mind so that’s all for now. Just remember to follow and watch some matches from Football World Cup 2010 from South Africa! Peace for now!

May 27th, 2010

Two days ago zeroPoint! Gaming announced list of European Clan Rankings for this month. Yesterday was turn for Player Rankings!

zP! gathered total of three ranking lists which are rifles, heavies and snipers. Each category has their own point system and all teams who were in European Clan Rankings were asked for their opinions which means total of 11 team got their opinion said. Unfortunately only [flag fi] zg from our DoD:S team managed to get enough of votes to make it to top list and in his case the list is snipers. zg is actually drawing first placement of sniper list with [flag de] micHii from zeroPoint!, with both having 40 points.

Back in business!

May 25th, 2010

Back in business!

It’s been about six months since I was working active for RCTIC and that’s really long time. Now I am planning on making a comeback even more motivated. And as for start for my first blog I’ll introduce myself.

Who is Jere “LeLE” Alanen?
So, my name is Jera Alanen and I’m 18 yeard old and my nick in the world of internet is LeLE. I’m living in Finland’s East side in city of Joensuu. Few weeks ago I decided to move into my own department in downtown of Joensuu with my girlfriend so feel free to come by and let’s drink some coffee! I’m studying in technical college on building line and my last year is starting on the upcoming Fall. For all who are thinking about same line than Im studying I give an advice; go to some other line even tho you’d like doing some building job as the job isn’t the best when thinks about the payments we get… But that’s enough about me for now, let’s move on!

LeLE + RCTIC = ?
So, how am I compared to RCTIC? I was forming this great Finnish eSports organization back in 2008 with Toni, Joonas and some other great dudes after we decided to part ways with CMAX.gg. We were aiming on forming an organization what supports motivated and upcoming talents in Finnish scene so they could get more well-known in the scene of eSports. All stuff was going great back then even we had some problems with couple of teams which we however got solved out and after all things started to roll great and are still rolling really well! I’d like to thank all the players and members of our management for their own output for this organization. Especially big thanks goes to SaMZ and PassengeR who have done really great job and got our name more well-known and they’ve even got nice deals done with Ulti-mat and Pelaajan Valinta!
But then back to my period of inactivity. I decided to step down for a while due to irl commitments (work, school and so on). But so, now I am getting back into the business even more motivated and feeling really great! I’m really willing to keep this organization up with my mates and achieve our goal which is to get our players more well-known and to the top level! I promise that RCTIC is coming and going to great success within upcoming years!

How about my gaming then?
Yeah, some people knows that I used to play active on teams few years ago. I started gaming quite young but interest towards FPS games rised up at age of 11-12 when we got Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam. That’s when I started gaming and for first time I started playing in teams when Battlefield 2 was released and we were doing quite okey back then we were like little boys. I have also played Call of Duty 4 but I didn’t like it so I decided to end my career with playing in teams and nowadays I don’t play much of games anymore. Only a little of Battlefield 2 when I visit by my parents as this i-net connection my girlfriend has on her laptop isn’t good for gaming.

That’s it for now. I will be writing more blogs sooner or later! But I’m back with strenght of 110% and I promise that we’ll be doing some great things with dudes in the future!

Peace for now, Jere!

RCTIC.cs placed 4th at Solid Mojo!

May 15th, 2010

As in our review of first day at Solid Mojo was mentioned, our Counter-Strike 1.6 team was the only team from our organization who made it throught to playoffs with placing second in their group just after [flag fi] PlayZone.

Today was time for playoffs and first was the semifinals. Our team faced team of [flag fi] eXelong Gaming which contained some famous names in Finnish scene such as Joona “natu” Leppänen and Slaava “Twista” Räsänen. Our team didn’t have much of chances and eXelon took victory by 2-0 score and made it to the grand final while our team was sent into the bronze match. Few hours ago our team played their bronze match where they faced [flag fi] munkka. Munkka overran (16-3) their map choice which was de_train. Our team chose de_inferno and this time it was our team who was likely overrunning as score after two both halfs was 16-7 in favour of our team. Last map and deciding one was de_nuke. Our team managed to start this map on the so called “easier side”, CT’s. However, munkka was giving some hard time and they managed to get a 8-7 lead after first half. Then our team fought back well and was giving some hard time to munkka but after all munkka decided to grap the needed rounds ending the map in score of 16-13. This ment that munkka placed 3rd and our team got 4th placement from the very first lan under our name! Congratulations boys!

Oh and by the way, our Team Fortress 2 player, Ville “robo” Seikkula, took a part in Heroes of Newerth (HoN) 5on5 with his friends. They managed to win this tournament and will receive the prize money of 500€!

Feelings from Solid Mojo

May 14th, 2010

Wazzap fellas! Here we are at [flag fi] Solid Mojo with lots of RCTIC players/managers hanging around, including me. A total of 26 from our organization is here at somepoint of event or even during the whole event. As I mentioned in my last blog, this lan-event is my first one I’ve attended and this is quite great. Amazing atmosphere over here even tho the event isn’t as large as it could have as there was like 1000-1100 computer seats but after all there’s only like around 250-300 and not all even have been filled.

But then to main thing, hows the games going? Well, as usually on lan-events, there’s some delays on here also with the schedule. All games are delayed about two hours from the predicted schedule. Our CoD4 team already played their first match and CS:S team is starting or have already started their match against Team Menace.fi. Later on we’re going to do an overview from our team’s first matches in this event
