LanTrek 2011 Win!

January 16th, 2011

Maintained my LanTrek championship by defeating Hemosa in the finals. I used mainly Bruce in the tough matches, but also some Lars. There was an okayish Kuma player I didn’t get to play against. I won Hemosa in Winners finals 3-2 and then 3-0 in the grand finals, 3-0 against Fraeon. I also didn’t get to play against Hemosa’s friend Potta, who has an okayish Steve.

The tournament displays were awful once again. The LG TV had loads of input lag, my estimate would be something like 30 frames. Luckily there was a CRT TV as the other game station. But even that was somehow weird with timings – my guess is that it was an old 50hZ TV instead of the normal 60hZ so it was probably running only 50fps. The tournament format was very good compared to last year – round robin with 4 groups of 4 and then a double elimination bracket of top8. Round robin was bo3 matches, bo5 rounds and the bracket was bo5 matches, bo5 rounds so Hemosa would’ve had to defeat me 6 times in the grand finals. But as we know he didn’t. :)

My prize for #1 is a 50€ gift card to TrioSoft and 6 months subscription of MikroBitti magazine. Hemosa got a box of Teho energy drink. :)

Next tournament will be Winter Assembly in 4 weeks time. See you there!

Thanks to all the supporters and sponsors, especially RCTIC’s cod2 team!

WuMing @ DreamHack Winter 2010 Jönköping, Sweden

November 24th, 2010

Hello world!

I’m Mitja “RCTIC\WúMíng” Mieskolainen, RCTIC’s new Tekken 6 player, the first sponsored one in Finland. I’ll be bringing news and tidings of my gaming and living to RCTIC’s site. I’m also writing stories about the Tekken 6 scene @ SETT.fi.

So today I’m working late and right after work I’ll be taking the last possible train to Helsinki to spend the night at a friend – Juhana “SivariKing” Jääskeläinen who unsurprisingly plays (King) in Tekken.  I mostly play Lars and Bruce, but know a lot of other characters and will be focusing in the future on learning the basics of all of the 36 characters and improving my mastery of a few of them.

Tomorrow morning I’m flying out to Norrkoping, Sweden.  Juhana is taking the earliest flight at 7 am, while I’ll be taking a later one at 10 am. From there I’ll be heading to Jönköping, the actual event venue of DreamHack Winter.

I’ll be participating in the DreamHack Winter Tekken 6 RockStar Championship tournament & probably also the Super Street Fighter IV tournament, with the main focus in Tekken of course. Korean players “Knee” and “Nin” are confirmed, and will be the favourites to win. Other worthy adversaries include Juho “entomo” Gebhard, “SivariKing”, the British Ryan “Prodigal Son” Hart, Swedish Druidz sponsored player “Drz_Skatan” aka Skatanmilla, other great Swedish player “Boris” aka “The Emperor”.

In the SSF4 tourney there will also be “Drz_Skatan” along with another Druidz-sponsored Swede “Drz_Yagami”, Ryan Hart, etc.

I’ll be doing interviews of the other players and reporting on my hopeful success in the tournaments. Stay tuned! :)
