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!

At Assembly Summer 2010 we recruited WuMing as a stand-in to play under our name in WCG Finnish National qualifiers where he got very close to the podium by finishing 4th. Now the Assembly Summer is over and we are happy to announce that we are offically recruiting this Tekken 6 guru to our organisation! We had to get him tell us more about himself so we put him straight into an interview.

Today we are happy to announce that we have recruited a new player as a stand-in.  He is no other than Mitja “WuMing” Mieskolainen who plays Tekken 6 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This means that we are the first Finnish organisation to support fighting games.

Mitja started playing games when he was 10 years old so he has gathered experience from gaming for 15 years. Actively he has been playing for the last two years of his career. He is an active organizer of events and wants to be part of fighting game scene’s development.

We had a little chat about joining the organisation two weeks ago and decided to annouce him as a stand-in player at Assembly Summer 2010 and we will see what future brings with.

Come and see WuMing in action on Saturday at 15:00 here at Assembly when he’ll be playing in WCG Finnish National Finals of Tekken 6!
