Hello to everyone again… what a hectic few months it has been since I last wrote a blog. So much has happened – my team had our week long bootcamp and partook in a LAN competition in sunny Brisbane. We got placed into CyberGamer Western Digital Amateur finals which are set to commence early next week and also were placed in Sublime PC Gear’s MWave Invite competition set to start the week after. It’s an exciting start and so far very successful new beginning in Counter-Strike: Source after swapping from Counter-Strike 1.6 and I couldn’t be happier with our progress thus far.
Our bootcamp was interesting to say the least. Once we all arrived at our amazing house on the Gold Coast there was a lot of serious strategising and practicing going on. We ran through all of our maps that we were to play in our up and coming competitions and prepared ourselves as well as we could for the LAN event on the following Sunday, staying up all night and sleeping all day. Any gamer knows the drill. It was a great chance to iron out any issues we had in any situations and to improve our teamwork by 10 fold. However, put 5 girls into a house for a week and we’re bound to get up to some sort of mischief eventually. But you know what they say… what happens on bootcamp stays on bootcamp. PS: If you haven’t seen the bootcamp bake off I suggest you head over to our Facebook page and see the pictures (http://www.facebook.com/voxeminor). My CM Storm cake was definitely the best .
Rocking up in our Razer gear to LAN on Sunday was a daunting experience. We were to be the first all female team in Australia to actually WIN a game on LAN for Counter-Strike: Source. Not only did we win a game but all of our practice during the week paid off as we left LAN on the Sunday with 2 wins and 2 losses only narrowly missing out on finals. Not bad for our first LAN as a team. It was great to put names to faces and get involved in the community, cheers GotGames and all the people at Elysium on the day it was an awesome experience and we hope to do it again soon.
After an exciting time with all the girls it was all too soon that I had to see them off at the airport and head back to reality.
We’re all back at home and getting ready for the CyberGamer finals and the beginning of Sublimes new MWave Invite league and are keen to prove that all the effort we put in at bootcamp has paid off. Be sure to support Voxe and keep up with our progress through the Facebook page!
Thanks to all the support from Vox Eminor management (RICHARDD!!), members and sponsors. We couldn’t do it without you guys. You’re our family.
Gabrielle ‘kiRa’ Benn.
