After finishing second in the qualifying stages Clover felt confident of taking a top 3 place to win some cash, but as the cup was placed right in the middle of his final exam period he would have to prac as much as he could around revising - which wouldn't be a lot!


In the end, Clover finished in 3rd place taking home $40 in prize money. The final standings were:
 mo$t^WanteD
mo$t^Greasy
rockit.-Cloverfield^
4th $kim
 rockit.Cloverfield^ had the following to say about his performance in TW League and what is coming up for him and rockit.RTS in the future:
quote_linksIm very proud to have done so well over the last few weeks in all the competitions I have been in as I have had to do my finals at the same time which was very stressful.
Im looking forward to Sc2 release over the summer and hope to see where that takes me in the RTS scene, I really enjoyed the beta and with the full release only a week away I can hardly wait - Special thanks to all at rockit during my exams for all the kind comments!		quote_rechts

The other players in the draw were fnatic`Xdrol and Massdestruction who were also battling it out to get into the Grand Final.
The pressure is always on our Italian RTS player Davide aka -Cloverfield^ as to keep his record of never failing to finish top3 in the Ladder Wars playoffs - also he was defending his title as Grand Champion and if he was victorious this would be the third Ladder Wars tournament he had won in a row.


Clover went into the first round as mentioned against Randomness who he took down 2-0, in the final he came up against fnatic`Xdrol who managed to defeat Massdestruction in the previous round. Clover came out on top with a solid 2-0 victory
Final standings were:
rockit.-Cloverfield^
fnatic`Xdrol
Randomness
4th Massdestruction
 Clover just had a stressful period in his life, his University Exams! but still managed to pull out a big victory in this tourney, he is already on route for July qualification with a 33 wins and 1 defeat record. Good luck qualifying again! ]]> Fri, 16 Jul 2010 13:21:32 +0000 destii@team-rockit.eu (destii) Enemy Territory 3 Consulting abort http://www.team-rockit.com/index.php?mod=news&action=view&id=275 http://www.team-rockit.com/index.php?mod=news&action=view&id=275 One new face of our newly-reformed Enemy Territory team is the Dutchmen abort, who has played with some of our ET guys in the former H2K lineup. Because he wasn't active in the past since the mixxed team of JungleBrothers at the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7, I took the time to ask him about his private as well as his thoughts about the game itself and the upcoming AEF event. Have fun reading!

Hey abort. For those who have never heard of you, give them a short introduction of your person please.
 Hi. My name is Jorryt, I'm 21 years old and I live in The Netherlands. My main interests go out to playing/listening music, computer science and games. I have played ET for quite a while now and have played with most players of the current lineup before. As I enjoy lans alot; here I am, giving it another go =).
So you haven't played actively in the past. How come?
 I used to play the game way more active. I always tend to play ET on and off as I enjoy loads of other games as well (e.g. the Quake series, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Counter-Strike Source). I also think Et starts to lack dynamics (as in new maps or mod features). Other reasons are playing music and university.
What was your last team you played active in?
The last team I played with on a serious matter was Junglebrothers for CiC7. Later on I started playing with some friends and we ended up in a non serious team called frozenfingers, where we also played different games like CSS. I suppose you could call Junglebrothers the last active and serious team I played in.
Did you have to think a lot about joining this team and playing active again or was it an easy decision for you?
 I had to think about it a lot, because at the point I was going through making a decision I enjoyed playing with other people (that also play other games and are also great talk to and share interests with). Another thing is that I have the feeling music is getting more important for me over time, so I am spending a lot of time playing guitar. I came to this decision as the people I was playing with (and will continue playing with after) were stimulating me to go to the lan. That in combination with just a few weeks of prac and helping out my old buddies made me cross the line.
So nice to have you here buddy. How's the atmosphere inside the team? Will you be able to brave teams like Dignitas or Impact?
The atmosphere is quite good, which is something I already expected, because of previous times. Because of the good atmosphere, the experience as individuals (and teamplay wise), I think we have a good chance against those teams. Adapting to 5on5 since last lan has actually brought a bit of those previously mentioned dynamics (and chances for us) into the game. So I guess we can suprise quite well.
What do you think about ET and its community? How will the future most likely be like?
I think ET is getting boring as the maps don't change and competetive mods don't get developed anymore. I don't really like the community, because free games come with kids. I don't think ET has much future if there won't be any new competetive maps, mod improvements or most importantly a new anti-cheat.
AEF Top3 prediction?
1. Dignitas, 2. Team Rockit (yes I am optimistic), 3. Impact Gaming
abort Sounds good! And now some little questions. What's your favorite..
Food?
 Chinese!
Drink?
 Coffee and mineral water!
Music?
 Metalcore and Melodic Death Metal!
Windows or Mac?
 Mac of course
Egg or bird?
 Egg, it's the only thing I would eat out of the two
Any shoutouts?
 Shoutouts to a few individuals in particular (they know why themselves): iiky, renenl, jack, stevji, rorschach, dictator, zerb and ofcourse everyone I played with or/and had great conversations with on lans.
Thanks! ]]> Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:10:37 +0000 spu9@team-rockit.com (SPU9) Enemy Territory Rockit.ET`s Final Lineup For AEF! http://www.team-rockit.com/index.php?mod=news&action=view&id=274 http://www.team-rockit.com/index.php?mod=news&action=view&id=274 With the Antwerp eSport Festival just around the corner our Enemy Territory team is doing it`s last lineup fixtures.

  • rockit zerender
  • rockit Winghaven
  • rockit Matias
  • rockit abort
Joining the team will be an old teammember of gifty and a long time friend of the whole team. We hereby happily welcome abort and Matias.
quote_links With just 16 days untill the event we were able to find a suited replacement for snoop and dialer and with our first praccs just finished we are confident in giving a good challange to all other top teams out there. After snoop lost his motivation and dialer just found out that his girlfriend wanted to spend some holidays short before the event he was unable to cover enough money for the lan trip so we just lost two good players but with abort contacting me and Matias coming out of nowhere we are motivated like hell to establish a really good performance and we will take use of the remaining days to increase our teamplay day by day. Thanks to the whole Team Rockit management as well as our sponsors YCN Hosting, N1Ping, EU Shells and XCite! - Giftyquote_rechts

And our guys around team leader Vanargand were more than just motivated to show what they are made off. The initial situation was not that good since zP! just had to win a single map but our teamspirit, experience and a bit of luck helped in beating our biggest contender on both Salerno_comp and Lennon.

With this victory our rockit.DOD:S team adds another award to their achievements and on top of that 400 Euros in cash.
So the final ESL Major Series standings for Day of Defeat Source are looking like this:
  • #1 Team Rockit - 400 Euros
  • #2 zP! - 200 Euros
  • #3 wT - 100 Euros
  • #4 cm - 50 Euros
Big congratulation to the whole team. It was an impressive season with just one match lost due to some ticks. Enjoy the holidays and the summer break but don't forget to come back with new motivation for the next big on- and offline event.
quote_linksAwesome match from both teams, Seriously I haven't played such an interesting match for months or years. The last fullcap made by HaVoK on the last seconds on the first map was awesome and unbelievable! After that, we played our best game and everything ran very smooth. It was an intense match with a lot of fullcaps and lots of action and tight as hell. We are really glad about winning the EMS this season - now we easily can go in holidays and relax for the summer! - akiR0quote_rechts
