As you well know, the ladies here at Pink Zinic regained their title of Major Series Champions, they will now also keep that title after ESL announced the end of the Female Competitions in their Major Series. However, female gamers are urged to not despair as the end of Female Gaming in the Major Series has opened a new door, which contains the new ESL Female Section. This section will contain all female gaming action, from Counter-Strike to CS:Source, the tournament structures will remain the same and of course will include some cash prizes!

So to kick of the section, the Electronic Sports League staff have put together a European League, which will feature the best teams battling it for the title. While other teams have to go through various qualification stages, our girls have earned themselves a place in the league, bypassing the qualification stages. Joining them will be the remaining teams who finished in top four of the last Major Series, they are;  German teams we are … and Frankfurt 69ers, and finally the French team of Burning!.

When asked what she thinks about the new ESL Female Section, Captain Mayra ‘IpSa’ Perez had the following to say:

“We are looking forward to it!!!“

Stay tuned to myZINIC.com for updates on upcoming tournaments and of course news on the new ESL Female Section!

Hello! long time no see =)

Today it was VERY cold here in Sweden, I’m so freaking tired of this weather now. There’s so much snow and It’s freezing outside. I haven’t even been outside today. I just ordered a pizza because I can’t go to the store and buy any regular food, it’s too cold :( I really want to go on vacation right now in a warm and sunny country until this snow has gone away.

Last weekend I was at a party with some friends, It was nice just hanging out and listen to hardstyle <3 best music there is!

Yeye, lets talk about cs now! We won EMS leauge again, so awesome! We really played good thru this whole league so i think we deserved it. I’m SO looking forward to ESWC this year. At Disneyland, I’ts so cool. And the prizemoney is briliant. So i really hope we get far and win this :)

Now I have some stuff to do, talk to you later :)

The final game of the Electronic Sports Leagues Female Counter-Strike Major Series has  just concluded, with Pink Zinic reclaiming their titles of Major Series Champions!

They managed to beat the German team we are in the finals 2-0, ending their unbeaten run. The first map the teams were to play on was de_dust2, a map which was chosen by the Germans. Although they put up a tough fight, it ended up going in Zinics favour. The second map of de_nuke proved the key to the girls success, captain IpSa chose correctly yet again leading to the map and game win.

Tonight, after many reschedules, the girls will undergo their final challenge in the ESL Major Series. They will be defending their title against the German team of we are, who throughout the tournament have not lost a map. Similarly, the Pink Zinic ladies have also not dropped a map, so the game will definitely decide the better team and also, champions.

Like before, the game will be played in a best of three format, the three maps to be played will be de_dust2 (we are choice), de_nuke (Pink Zinic choice) and the deciding map will be de_train.

Pre-Match Statement from Pink Zinic:

“Woah, we made it pretty far and put a lot of effort so far in this Major Series season. Coming so far, you get of course even more hungry for the victory then you are already and we really went to take the victory in this match - it shall be exciting!”

The game will be played at 20:00CET, the HLTV IP is hltv4.verygames.net:27084, be sure to stay tuned for updates and of course to support your favourite team!

The Semi-Final of ESLs Major Series has concluded, with Pink Zinic once again coming out of top with a straight 2-0 victory. The game was against the French team Burning!, who last week also managed a straight 2-0 win. However, on a high, ours girls managed to carry the momentum from the mousesport revenge to this game.

After the two maps of train and tuscan were eliminated, the French side chose to start with inferno. A map which proved challenging for both teams as it went into overtime. With the pressure on, it was the mighty Pinc Zinic to come out on top and win the map 21-16. It was then time for the second map, nuke, which was chosen by Zinic. The map selection by captain ipSa proved invaluable as they took the map in a straight 16-01 victory.

Tonight the girls here at Pink Zinic will be participating in the Semi-Final of the ESL Major Series. The game will be against the French team Burning!, who last week defeated Be-The-Best in a straight 2-0 victory. Like all the other Playoff games, the game will be in a best of three format, with inferno, nuke and dust2 being used.

Pre-Match Statement from Pink Zinic:

“Last week we played mouz in the playoffs and could knock them out on two maps which was a very important game for us and we were glad to be able to show our good game. In the next step to the EMS finals we have to manage to win over b! which actually eliminated BTB from the tournament last week. That shows that we have to play yet another time a good match in order to be able to win. We are convinced to be able to so!”

The lovely ladies here at Pink Zinic last week defeated mousesports in the Quarter Finals of the Fifth ESL Major Series. The game, like all the playoff games, was in a best-of-three format, with Zinic coming out on top with a straight 2-0 victory.

The girls got straight down to business on the first map, with mousesports hardly putting up a fight they took the map of de_nuke 16-03. They gained the advantage and they capitalized on it early on by taking the half 13-2. The mousesports team seemed to have given up on the map by then, but managed to claw one round back.

Down but not out, the Russian team still had a chance to pull it back on their map choice of de_inferno. However, on a high, our girls once again started as CT and put 11 rounds on the board, they then won the remaining 5 rounds to win the game and match.

Hello blog!

Sitting in ventrilo with zaaz now and talking some random, ehm, STUFF  :D We have just played some “random/noobpublic” and have been ghosting and stuff, a lot of fun! Tomorrow I have school so need to go to bed soon. Need to do some homework and I also wanted to write a blog for all our fans out there :) and then I am good to go!
Last event in Poland which was overall pretty fun, we ended second place wich isn’t so good. We didn’t play our game so it went kinda bad. But we will forgot what happened and look forward to our next event and win it - you can’t win everytime and maybe this 2nd place was a good experience for us overall.

I have been sick now three times in a row so I am kinda unlucky but I have been to the doctor and it seems like I had a normal flu first (no swine flu!!!) and then I got earinfection AND tonsillitis which means that your throat hurts very much.I ate soup for a whole week which wasn’t very fun! But now I’m feeling better and I hope I don’t get sick again this winter he he. I also just bought a gym card so I have been very good and been working out alot, feels really good and is a good thing next to Counter-Strike.
Hope everyone enjoyed my blog this time. Feel free to tell me what you are up those days or what you want me to write about in my next blog in the comments below.

Talk to u next week! hugs

P.S.: The photo on the right was done back at when we founded Pink Zinic.

After we placed second and won 2000 USD at the Pan European Tournament in Poland on Saturday, it was Sunday were we had a lot of time to relax. Nisse is right now writing on her new blog to give you all updates about the crazy players party which took place Saturday night - pictures are also set to come. Sunday evening at about 22:00 CET we left from Warsaw airport back to Copenhagen and arrived just before midnight in Denmark.

While waiting for the luggage IpSa and Irene talk in a new video interview about the matches in Poland, share thoughts about Poland and give you a more insight view on Pink Zinic. Additionally also guddo who is originally the team manager of mTw but went with AurorA Gaming to Poland, comments on female gaming and the event.

Make sure to check this almost 10 minutes video out on the frontpage of myZinic.com or watch it directly here on YouTube. Pictures from the event with Zinic are right here.

Stay tuned for more content within the next days.

Hi all! How are you all? As for my part, I am doing just great!

I am actually not home in Stockholm right now, but writing to you from Degerfors, a small town in Sweden and I am here because my boyfriend is living here. Feel free to guess his name in the comments hehe

It is alot smaller then Stockholm were I live, but I like it here anyways because there are not as much people running around everywhere like I am used to. It is calm and cosy here :)

Today we were out for shopping some clothes in a bit bigger city called Orebro, found some cool stuff, a nice pair of jeans and a purple sweater which is really cosy and a pair of leggings.

Today it is Friday but I amm not sure what we are gonna do yet, maybe we are going out with a couple of friends and having some beers, haven’t decieded yet. The other alternative would be to just stay inside with a movie and relax. Time will tell! ;) What did you do on this Friday?

Enough about me for now!

We got an event in Poland in less then three weeks, at beginning of October. There was a news post with information about it earlier on our page, just scroll down a bit on the frontpage. If you read this news you will notice that there actually will be some good teams there from whole Europe but we anyways really wanna win that event aswell as we won the Major Series IV. Lately we all liked to smell the sweet taste of victory again, and it is just that you always want more and can’t stop.

We got a new player as you already have read on our site, switched out Cazzidy with iRene. We won the last event with her and I think and hope we will win this aswell with her support as she is now practicing with us on a regularly basis and just fits so great in the time - it was the right choice to get her in, without any doubts!

It will also be the first time I am in Poland  and feel kinda excited about going there. Always fun visiting new countries, meet new people and fans from all over the world. Don’t know what Poland will be like, probably a fun country with maybe some cool party places!

Doesn’t really have much more to tell you guys for now, just let you know that we will practise hard and do our best in Poland and try to not let our fans down.

You will hear more from me soon!

Hugs, sophie ;-)))
