Hello everybody!

I guess you’ve heard the good news already, we won in ESL MS female at gamescom. Was it expected? Yeah, I have to say so. I mean both Alternate and SNOGARD are really good teams, but as far as I remember we always won against them. We are selfconfident and know we can beat any female team if we just play our game. But of course it wasnt easy to win, there were some tight matches.

We were a bit nervous the first day against SNOGARD because a loss against them would have ended the tournament for us with a 3th-4th place and that would not be OK at all for us. I played kinda bad that day, I was so nervous and couldn’t focus on the game. But my teammates did a really good job so I can’t blame myself when we won anyways, everybody can have bad day :) I think I proved myself in the final.
To play on stage was exactly how fun I remember it was on ESWC final. Not so big this time but it was really fun and a great experience. If I could choose, I would choose to play on stage every match ;)

After the victory we went back to the hotel to took a shower, changed clothes and then back to the event where they had a ESL player party. There were free drinks for everybody the whole night. So yeah, maybe some people got a little bit to much of it, hehehe ;) But it was really fun. Later me, Lancia (from fragbite), Irene and face took a taxi back to the hostel, or to Lancias hotel actually; don’t ask me why we didn’t continue, but we had to walk about the double distance then if we would have walked from the party directly to our hostel. I am really surprised that we even found the way back! With high heels - that SUCKED, a lot!

But we got back to the hostel and then we were just sitting there chilling and talking with some people. I got a hamburger from carn and forest that was so LOVELY because we didn’t eat since 13.00PM. Aat 06.30AM I went up to my room and slept 2-3 hours, then allen and inzane woke me up. I was still drunk. We met zaaz and ipsa and so on in the lobby because Bo and The1crow wanted to drive home. Ipsa didn’t feel to well either. The trip home was so tough!

But now im finally home, and we’re happy!

Take care / nisse

Hi all! :)

The BYOC tournament

As you might know we just came home from Dreamhack, Jönköping a few days ago. The tournament there didn’t go as well as we hoped. We finished the group stage pretty well, won all the matches big except one, that we tied. And they got two more rounds against another team which ment they ended first in our group. Then we were unlucky to meet the polish DELTA team and it was only single elimination. It shouldn’t sound like an excuse, but DELTA is without a doubt a really strong team.

We did not only participate in the BYOC-tournament there, but also participated in a couple of other activities. For example, we had some “showmatches” at the norton booth where people could challenge us. I played with inzane and in the beginning it didn’t go that well for me, I was so nervous because it was the first time I did something like that (I havent played aim_map since 2 years or something) But later on I got used to it and the nervosity disappeared and we played really good. If I remember correct only 2-3 people won against us. And we played like 1 hour in a row. I am up for more next time! :D

The after party

The last night everybody went out to drink a bit. Not only from our team, but also many players from other teams. Gladly everybody is over 18 now in our team so there wasn’t any problem with that ;) I wasn’t supposed to drink so much because I had to go up and drive home kinda early the next day, but it ended up drinking kinda much at the party anyways. Everybody just danced and was happy, think everybody had a lot of fun! The bar/club where we have been closed at 2.00 AM. Sucky Sweden! So we drove back with a can to the hotel and hang out a bit more. Then we went to bed later and woke up at around 9am the next morning after a few hours of sleep and had some pretty bad hangover. It was a bit unpleasant to drive home I can say, but it went OK =) Don’t ask about the picture, that was done at some late hour!

Some more pics from the party:

Midsommer

3 days after that I traveled to Öland/Borgholm in Sweden to celebrate midsummer with some friends, it was really fun as we ate delicious good food and talked a lot of shit and just danced and had a great time. We listened to “Pitbull - I Know You Want Me” (listen and watch here) all the time. First I thought it was really bad but when I heard it so many times I just couldn’t stop lovin it! So watch out for that song this summer, I bet it will be the new “summer hit”!

Zinic to Roskilde Festival

So it has been quite some traveling for me lately and soon we will go to the huge Roskilde Festival in Denmark from July 2nd till 5th.. It is supposed to be one of the biggest music festivals in Europe with around 70 000 people and hundreds of bands attending. There will be an eSports-tent where ZINIC has its own booth in, that’s just awesome! And we will play some showmatches against a big male team from Scandinavia every evening, but who that team is will be revealed later. Make sure to drop by and say hello. Since zAAz and IpSa will be on summer vacation during that time and sadly can’t play, our manager AurorA will play as well as Sofie ‘zeleNa’ Sandager will return to the team as a stand-in, which will be really awesome.

I am looking forward to it though I’m not that kind of a “sleep-in-a-tent-girl”. As a matter of fact - I hate it. Always feel so dirty and disgusting when I wake up. Bleeh! But I guess we will be so drunk so I don’t care where we sleep. ha-ha. Nah, but we can sleep at the Sponsormatic office if we want to, which is only 30 minutes away from there or at AurorA’s place. And there are some good artists and groups coming up there I really wanna see, like Trentemøller, Röyksopp, Lily Allen, Deadmau5, Asle Bjørn, Slipknot, Volbeat, Coldplay, Social Distortion, Nine inch nails, The Mars Volta and Oasis. I guess I won’t be able to watch all of them because we have work to do also, but I will see as many as possible :) wooho.

Stay tuned for more about that later. That’s it for today. Have a nice day! /nisse

Hi everybody!

I won’t be writing about SLAP, the boot camp and stuff this time cuz the other girls almost wrote everything that I had on my mind about it… So this time I will just write about some thoughts about something else…

Some of you might wonder why I wanted to join up with the girls again after being kicked out. Well, first of all I still had very good contact with some of the remaining girls in the team. They were really sad that they had to kick me and talked to me a lot. Second thing is, I missed the game and like you might know there are not many good female teams out there, especially not in Sweden. So there was not really any option to join another team. They regretted what they did and wanted me back, and we got this nice offer with ZINIC, so I couldn’t say no!

Today I am really happy, yesterday was the first day at work. I have been searching for a job for a long time and I finally got this one at an animal park called Kolmården in Sweden. I will be working with the “lift” and help people to get on and off and stuff like that, actually it is just about being nice to people and I think I’m pretty good at it! Only 7 new people out of 420 got the job which makes me even more proud to work there now ;)
It was fun yesterday and I met many nice people. I think I will have a really good time there during this summer!

That’s it for today, take care all! Thanks for reading - much more to come soon!

Hell it is about time to launch a hot new and exciting brand within in the eSports scene. Today the new Counter-Strike female team of Pink Zinic is born featuring the following lineup:

	Louise ‘AurorA’ Thomsen
	Sofie ‘nisse’ Adolfsson
	Zainab ‘zAAz’ Turkie
	Sophie ‘inzane’ Regner
	Mayra ‘IpSa’ Perez
	Anette ‘Cazzidy’ Skarderud

During today’s press conference which takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark at 11:30 CET this lineup was announced and presented which is one of the most successful and known ones worldwide within the Counter-Strike female scene. It is comprised of five girls from Scandinavia, which recently won ESWC Masters, the most important Counter-Strike event for female gamers. They also took the victory at the ESL EMS Season 2 where they won 500 Euro and got crowned at the best online female CS team. These girls are more famous than almost any other gamers in the world as they had for example their own show on MTV that was shown all over the world for 10 episodes.

This team and their fanpage - which will be launched shortly after the press conference - are able to open the door for our partners in the market that consists of millions of young people that have strong purchasing power. These young people have three things in common: They are interested in tech products, the internet, and competitive gaming which is known as Esports. We will unite Esports and good looking girls which makes it possible to present gaming to a larger audience and disprove stereotypes that associate gaming with ‘dark room, no friends, chips and cola’.

The girls will not only act as players during online and offline tournaments, but many more activities will go on, which will be explained in detail at a later time. Come to Copenhagen, join our presentation, get in contact with the girls and see who our partners and sponsors are. We have exclusive information and material for you that you can only catch during the press conference - take a look beyond our new team. Our goal is to create a new way for eSports, get rid of stereotypes and open it for people outside the eSports and gaming community with sponsors and you as a media partner who believes in our ideas.
