Julie: It was just a little LAN

January 7, 2010

Hey everyone!

It’s been a long time since I wrote to you guys..
I wish you a happy new year to and I hope you had a lot of fun while celebrating with friends and family. =)

As you can see we actually don’t play at the moment. It’s a small “Christmas / winter” break but we will start with practicing in the next days and the ESL EMS matches will start probably soon.

My Christmas time with my family was nice.. I got a PS3 and a lot of other things.. so I have a new console to play with and it’s a lot of fun! But you don’t need to worry, I still play a lot of CS ;)

After Christmas time I went to Sweden. Ipsa, Irene and me played with face and GeT_RiGhT on a LAN in skövde called rendevous. This LAN was really small with around 200 people but it was with a lot of fun. Especially with this lineup! We got the 3rd place and a little price money. Unlucky that we lost two times vs tsGaming ( floreNz - hibb - keiz - kylie - pita ). They were sitting close 3 tables in front of us and when the game started they were screaming loud around the whole hall but after 4 or 5 rounds.. it was quiet because we won a lot of rounds. It was funny to hear because I think they didn’t know that we can also shoot back ;D A player called florenZ screamed one time “We cannot lost against them, its bad”.. that was so funny to hear..but for us it was just a little “LAN” to play. We didn’t took it so serious, we just wanted to do something and play.. :P

So what about more.. IpSa and me had a lot of fun in Sweden, we were out to the cinema, we saw Twilight - new moon with some friends and we were shopping a lot.

I was shopping.. and I found really really nice shoes. The first days I didn’t see any good shoes..I was so sad.. but lucky.. the last “shopping trip” and the last 30 minutes open time from the big mall I found a really really nice pair of boots.

Well.. I really need to tell you one weird thing.. Me and my friend were at the train station and we were waiting for the train.. and there were a box with really weird things? –> Picture.. Seriously.. I don’t know what it is. And I was so scared and afraid.. we were looking close to the glass and then this thing did really weird sounds ( you can hear it at the beginning of the Video ).. I was REALLY afraid.. :D Maybe you can tell me what it is? I hope at least.. :D

Well, I think that is sufficient for now. We will talk later =)

Babaaaaa, Julie

IpSa: We danced, we drank and we danced a little bit more

December 11, 2009

Hello!

It was a couple of weeks ago that we came back home from Jönköping, Dreamhack winter 09.

I had so much fun! Only thing that sucked was the BYOC-tournament. Our first enemy, skillz of borås, I knew exactly who this guys were and they are really good Swedish guys. They where sitting RIGHT behind us. I was so stressed out because I was like thinking “How the hell am I gonna call with them sitting behind me?”, hearing every word I say? And I am the type of IGL that calls pretty LOUD as well. Admins came and told them that they had to change seats. We did a great job but we knew that if we lose this match, we would technically be out of the tournament because only the first in the group would advance. We lost, but it was really good experience and they showed a lot of respect towards us during that game I can tell you. ;)

I am so happy about our newest member, she did so good during this event. No regrets baby!

We where in Jönköping from Thursday until Sunday. On Saturday morning me and zAAz went shopping and looking for a “Gina tricot-store” but we didn’t find one. After some hours looking at clothes the other two girls joined us and we all went shopping and we all bought new outfits for the night. It was so much fun!

We partied at Saturday night and we actually ended up pre-partying with some guys from Skillz of borås!

We danced, we drank and we danced a little bit more. Freaking awesome!

Pink Zinic wins again and this time against Russian team called RoX.KIS.Ladies. The map was de_nuke and it was rather fast.

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.

Welcome to myzinic.com EMS CS 1.6 female coverage. Playday 3 is on and as always, there are matches you can’t miss. Even though Pink Zinic has its match postponed to December due to Dreamhack 2009 which our team is taking part in, there are still games that might get you interested. Unfortunately eXcellentia vs ESC ICY BOX EMS and eSuba.sapphire ladies vs Ladies.EMS were both played with ESC ICY BOX EMS and eSuba.sapphire ladies winning their matches 10-16 and 16-4. eXcellentia is in bad position right now as they have lost already two games out of two played.

Girls from Czech Republic are on the winning streak with two wins and will have their chance to make third one with German team called SNOGARD Dragons on the 24th of November. badGirlsclan is going to play against Infernal Gamers on the 26th of November. This match is looking pretty easy for the Spanish teams as they are second in group A (behind Pink Zinic) with two won games. Germans lost their first game to Pink Zinic.

Aurora Gaming from Denmark is playing their second game as well. After losing to Burning!, Danes have a chance to get back on track and win with Guardians, team that has also lost one map. Team SPEEDLINK is in the same situation as Aurora. They need to pull out some nice game against Burning! to be counted as one of the favorites to leave the group. So far they are not doing well, but they still can surprise us.

Julie: We’re going to Dreamhack soon!

November 20, 2009

Hey Guys!

Now it’s time for me to tell you what I’m doing and what I’m thinking right now.

As you’ve noticed I am the new addition to Pink Zinic and I actually feel really good with it. I’ve been playing CS for 8 years and I’ve joined my first team at the beginning of 2009. Currently I am playing more and more CS to get on a higher level because I know I can be better. The first two matches with Pink Zinic went very well, there is always so much fun with the girls and I am happy that we won first matches with a high score! I haven’t felt motivated like this for a long time.

But I am not only practicing with the team (we play 3-4 hours every day). Currently I am searching for a field of study. Right now I am going to an extended school to get a good grade and study at the university I will apply for next year. It’s hard for me to find the perfect field of study because I am interested in lot of things, and I want to study it all! ;D So I am looking for any further information about studying at college on the internet and through friends. But anyway, the good news is that if I won’t find any suitable major, I will become a trainee as an insurance clerk next year! So whatever comes up to me, everything will go well.

Next week we are going to Dreamhack in Sweden. All flights are booked and trust me; I am really excited to fly alone. Although I flew many times before, it feels like if it would be the first time for me! That’s the end of my first blog and I hope you liked it. Maybe we will meet on Dreamhack =)

Baba!

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.
