Pink Zinic 16 - 5 RoX.KIS.Ladies

December 4, 2009

Pink Zinic wins again and this time against Russian team called RoX.KIS.Ladies. The map was de_nuke and it was rather fast. Our girls are still on top with badGirlsclan trying to take the first place in group. Apparently Spain got some new talents to show but our girls are not afraid and we believe they’ll do their best. The upcoming matches are: Pink Zinic vs Frankfurt 69ers (06.12.2009 21:00 CET) and Pink Zinic vs badGirlsclan (10.12.2009 21:CET). Be sure to watch both of them and cheer for the pink power!

Zinic’s Dreamhack Winter schedule

November 24, 2009

On the 26.11.2009 in Jönköping, Sweden, Dreamhack winter 2009 will take place and Pink Zinic will be there to participate in the tournament and meet with the fans. After nisse left the team, girls were looking for the fifth player who can fit both their game style and character. After hours of searching for the perfect match, they’ve found Julie. Now, the new Pink Zinic roster will have an opportunity to present themselves to a larger crowd. Doing great in ESL Major Series, they want to prove to skeptics that girls can also win something big against guys.

Also on Wednesday, Julie is going to have a photo shoot in Copenhagen, Denmark, after which the whole Pink Zinic management team together with beautiful German will head to Sweden by car picking up zAAz and IpSa on their way to Jönköping. Inzane is going straight to Dreamhack town from Stockholm and Irene flys from Spain to Gothenburg and takes a bus to have a safe ride. Whole Pink Zinic meets up at night, day before the official start.

Girls will have to face top notch teams as Dreamhack is known for having best players on every tournament. Four Swedish world class teams, SK Gaming, MYM, H2K and Begrip will be there. To make it even more interesting Danes from mTw and Spirit of Amiga are coming as well. Teams from a cross the ocean will join DH. Evil Geniuses and compLexity will do their best to defeat the opponents but USA is not famous for having good Counter Strike teams. We’ll find out in what shape they are very soon.

EMS V: Pink Zinic 16:4 Flawless

November 19, 2009

Today, 8 matches will be played in the second playday of ESL Major Series. Our girls will face Polish team named Flawless which includes known nicknames like shilla or DeeDee but after winning 16 - 1 against German Infernal Gamers; Pink Zinic shouldn’t lose this one. Especially with statement from the Flawless girls:

Hello

Well, tomorrow We will play our second match with our starts - Pink Zinic
We love this team
We are faithful fans and we take example from Pink Zinic game
We give our life for them and if we could, we would give them w/o because they are our stars :D

HF !!:D

Also, there are 7 other games to be played. Team ALNTERNATE will face PMS 1.6. Germans won over Tempus Moriendi 16 - 7 and PMS lost to mousesports 16 - 9 which was a little bit surprising. Guardians will face TBH.MSI who won over Team SPEEDLINK already and placed 1st in their group so far. Team SPEEDLINK will play against unFinished. They need to focus right now and get back on track.

Mousesports is going to play against ESC ICY BOX EMS. Russians have to start playing just like they did on PET and beat their opponents with higher scores if they want to pull out a nice game against Pink Zinic once more. The reason for this might be roster change. Olga Pak swapped with Elena Urusova. We will see if that was a good change or not very soon.

Girls from iNNERFiRE who lost their first match to eSuba.sapphire ladies, will now face French Be-The-Best. Tempus Moriendi who lost to PMS 1.6 will play against eXcellentia. It’s going to be the first match Swedes and big chance for Poles to show what they are capable of. Last but not least, Aurora Gaming starts EMS with match against Burning! who had a draw in match against unFinished. We’re definitely looking forward to that.

HLTV will be provided for all matches and stay tuned for live updates here, on myzinic.com.

Irene: We are testing some mutations

November 8, 2009

Hey there!!

It’s been such a cold day here (15ºC), perfect to stay at home and write a blog, don’t u think? xD

Currently I’m preparing some homework I gotta do until Tuesday for my genetics class. We are testing some mutations on flies (Drosophila melanogaster) because it’s the most or one of the most popular organisms used to study DNA (for noobs like me of course). At the same time I’m watching program on discovery channel called “Megaestructure” or  something like that :s It’s about the construction of a super-penitentiary in the USA called North Branch. I don’t usually watch this type of programs but this one was interesting!

Well about the team… A lot of things have happened in the past weeks… first of all, nisse left due to lack of time that she could dedicate to CS. I felt bad because, even though I don’t know her for a long time, I really enjoyed playing and being with her in a team. Our English is not the best and maybe I couldn’t have some long conversations as I had with IpSa for example, but sometimes that isn’t necessary to communicate with each other and to know how a person is. I feel she helped me during that time as much as she could and I bring a good memory of the time we played together ;). And of course I hope to see u again! (u gotta see my new hair straightener, u will love it *_*)

At that time when nisse told us she would stop playing we’ve started to think about some replacements. We had different players in mind and some of the girls came up with the idea of testing a player I didn’t see as a good replacement. We played with her some matches and after that we’ve realized she was the best option for us. She is skilled, always in a good mood (which I think is important) and fits really well in the free spot we had. I hope it will be announced soon because she is eager to show everyone a good game.

I could be writing a blog for the whole day but I think u would fall asleep so.. lets end this for now xDD.

I would like to say h3ll0! to my best friend aNooB…sorry, aNouC! hOla an0! Someday I will write about some adventures we had these past 5-6 years (with censure of course).

Irene goes Sweden + Pictures

September 29, 2009

Hi everybody!

This is my first blog so far, and I would like, first of all, to present myself a little bit.

I was born in a small town called Albacete but nowadays I am living in Valencia, one of the biggest and coolest cities in Spain. I have been playing CS since 2004 or so, I don’t even remember when exactly, but altough I play almost everyday since then, I’ve always had enough time to study so, I am studying my second university degree, which I love, and this is Bioquemistry.

As you may know I have recently joined Pink Zinic, one of the best female teams out there! I am so happy about this because, altough it’s been just some weeks since I know them, it will be a good experience for sure. I really think I fit quite good in the team, and we are going to show everyone a high level of playing!

I am writing this from IpSa’s place, she invited me here to Sweden to spend some days before our next event in Poland which takes place 2nd  till 3rd of October and bootcamp a little bit with her (finally good ping! =D). I arrived in Ronneby on Saturday and I started to shiver with cold just in my first steps here, this country is so damn cold!

Yesterday Ipsa, zaaz and me went to a little lake some minutes away from Ipsa’s place and made some pictures of us acting silly, fishing … I uploaded some of them for you - check them here on our flickr account!

Today we are gonna start praccing, since yesterday was nisse’s birthday celebration (Happy Bday!) and I cannot wait to do it. It is just 4 days untill the Polish tournament starts and I hope it will go as well as in EMS finals in Cologne.

Well, this is the end of my blog for today. You will have more news of us there in Poland, just stay tuned, maybe you’ll see some funny videos!

Hugs, Irene ;D
