Hello everyone ! As maybe few of you already know, the one called 1st pro-gaming team and house in Romania, aL2 ( almost Level 2 ), has recently stopped its activities.
Was a sad day for us, the ones who was involved in this, but what can we do except looking forward for new and better things.
In 4 months of activity we had some good times, we remained with some nice memories and of course a very nice experience.

Once again, special thank's to Vaida "bassoo" Tudor - aL2 Manager for making this possible and of course SAV-Intergrated, NEC and RoHost for supporting our project !




I'd like to thanks to all the players above for being part of this team and for the friendship we established thru this project. Keep up the good work guys and play hard go pro !

2 weeks ! 2 weeks passed from the start of the 9th edition of StarCraftii.ro tournaments and yesterday, 27.03.2011, it got to an end and i'm happy to say that once again i'm reaching the top by getting 2nd place.
Although i'm sure i could take the 1st place if i was practicing in last 3-4 weeks or so, but i had some things to do and fix :) Anyway, i'm happy for my result and i can add a new mouse to my "collection" :)

The mouse ( 2nd place prize ) is an Microsoft SideWinder X8 Gaming and my road till the final was the next one:



Gg's and c'ya next time !
Peace ! :D

After few weeks of OnLine qualifiers, Profesional Gamers League Romania Season 1 came to an end ! I was qualified from second place in my group of 16 players, only losing to our well known Romanian Zerg DeathAngel and to one of the underdogs of our group PSYOPUS with 1-2 scores. Anyway, these defeats have not prevented me to qualify. So i went to Bucharest for the grand final and this is what happened:

The tournament was created with double brackets system so everyone got a second chance if losing in any of starting rounds. My 1st game was vs "PSYOPUS" ( the one who won over me with the score of 2-1 in groups stages ) and i think as everyone expected i took my revenge winning with a clearly 2-0 score. Second game was vs one of the tournament favorites "RAGE`Cyclone" who sent me in Losers Brackets with a 0-2 score. There ... sadly i had to play vs my team mate "aL2.Nemukud" where i won 2-0. Next player, "Dumy", was again from my group and as before it was a 2-0 win and again i had to play one of my team mates "aL2.Crusader". After 3 very entertaining games i came victorious with a 2-1 score. My next opponent in losers brakets semifinal was "Pufulete", a skilled Protoss who won over few known names in this tournament and after losing 1st game, i managed to come back and win the next 2 and the final score was 2-1 for me. The losers brackets final was between me and one of the best Terrans that Romania has at this moment, "Noise". I won the 1 game but sadly i lost 3 in a row and "Noise" managed to take out the win with a 3-1 score. Good job mate !



I got a well deserved place 4 and the whole tournament was won by the best romanian Protoss player "Prae.NightEnD" after 9 games ( 3-2 and 3-1 in two best of 5 ) vs "DeathAngel". "Noise" getting the 3rd place after losing with a 3-1 score vs "DeathAngel". GG boys and thank's PGL.ro for making this tournament and for a very good organization !

Today, the 1st Romanian StarCraft II team who began the road to pro-gaming was announced. Team almostLevel 2 ( aL2 ) is new and fresh team with 6 players from same city ( Timisoara ) with 2 players for all 3 races, Zerg, Terran and Protoss.
I'm also happy to mention that i'm part of this team and i'll do my best to take it up there to the tops where its place is.

"By participating in the first LAN tournament in Timisoara, a friendship was established among us, as well as a desire to evolve together. Only 3 months later, the wish becomes real, the training location is up and running and the keyboards are ready for high APM. To ensure a balanced training, we kept a balance for Starcraft races, promoting originality and variety among individual styles." - bassoo's statement - aL2 Team manager.

I would personally like to thank bassoo for making this possible and to everyone who supports us on our road to success !

"It is not often that we see players engaged to become a pro-gaming team on the Romanian scene. A big thumbs up to our team members for their passion and dedication. In front of us there is a long series of tough tournaments, both Romanian and European, special moments on the road to "level 2"" - more words from bassoo.
