NoRegreT gets some food

Getting food sounds mundane but when you’re in a foreign country and you’re NoRegreT who doesn’t eat any ethnic food, it’s quite an adventure for him.

Ever since Freeedom announced  that he’d be going to stay in MVP house excitement has grown as well as curiosity as to how he’ll fare with the culture shock of living in Korea, as well as improving his game play.  Follow  the team for more info on his adventures.

Community Team is launched!

PSISTC

Jarrod “Midnight” Robinson, from AUS has come up with an idea to have a team open to all.

PSISTORM Gaming’s COMMUNITY TEAM

Hi and welcome to PSISTORM’S community team.

This community team is not just for your higher league players but, lower leagues as well. It is all about being active for the team/clan as well as what you can get out of it from us. Having this community team will provide already talented players with the opportunity to practice and play in a competitive environment on a more frequent basis, amongst their teammates and have lower leagues be able to progress faster in their improvement from the help of their fellow clan mates.

Being part of this community team is a privilege as it is not like your ordinary community teams as it is a selection only basis, where players will be reviewed based on questions answered and after trial periods of being watched against other players.

All players in the community team will have opportunity to compete in all in-house events that are held by psistorm and tournaments hosted by many of the managers in psistorm as well. meanwhile we will have our own in house tournaments against one another in the community team and I as the manager will organise clan wars for the community team as well. those who are performing highly in the community team and are of a high master – gm level may have the opportunity of being picked up for the B team or may be asked to replace as an emergency.

Under the condition that you’re not asking to join those team’s managers of an A or B team from psistorm has to approach you. it will be required that you don’t miss many practices that are scheduled unless you’ve notified myself in advance that you can’t. we want to maintain a strong community team that can represent psistorm well and bring a strong community backing behind the team.

OSC 2015 Recap, Season 3 Championship results, and news for 2016

Hi KJ and the PSISTORM Gaming team.

Here’s a quick recap for you of 2015 and our recent end of year Championship.

Statistics from 2015:
190 Completed Partnered tournaments! (22% growth on 2014)
498 players earned OSC points! (39% growth on 2014)
$49835 (AUD) was won by players!
Our most active player was PsiArc, who played in 119 tournaments!
59 players all won at least 1 tournament
ByuN had the most tournament wins at 25
36 $ Bounties claimed for beating favoured opponents
There were 17 OSC 1v1 Challenge Show Matches
All of this was achieved in what was a transitional year for SC2 (many events trialling LOTV Beta, making then ineligible for league points).
EnDerr, DemiLove, PiLiPiLi, and TRUE all finished in the top 32 of our World Rankings at the seasons end and qualified for our $5000 finals – which was played over the weekend just past.
PiLiPiLi came 4th, EnDerr 5th, DemiLove 7th, and TRUE 9th! Fantastic effort!
Thank you for your support in 2015!
