The time has finally come to unveil our website, which has been stuck in development for way too long. It isn’t quite as grand as we had originally planned, but unfortunately none of our initial concepts and plans panned out. In the end I decided to just stitch this together quickly, so at least we would have somewhere to put our information. Hopefully the design of this website will improve significantly in the future.

The results page should be of particular interest to NS2 enthusiasts. On it, you will find links to recordings of all our streamed matches, including some amazing games like the final of the ESL Launch Tournament live in Cologne against Exertus or the Semi-final of the Logitech NS2 Tournament against Nexzil. An easy way to catch up on the great teams of the past and present.

In more recent news, we recently returned from Cologne, after defeating Nexzil 5-0 in the NSL Invitational and bringing home $2500 and hardware from Logitech. The event was great fun and we’re obviously happy with our performance. There was also a lot happening outside of the actual match itself. Meeting the other Archaea guys again was always going to be a highlight, but it was also great getting to know the Nexzil guys. Finally getting to meet b1, whom I played NS1 with way too many years ago, was a personal highlight for me. There’s no way a small news post like this will do the experience justice, so I’ll leave it at that for now. Hopefully I’ll have time to write a big post just about that weekend sometime soon.

Oversized symbolic checks are the best kind of checks.

Next up for us is a series of tough matches, including an ENSL semi-final, an ESL semi-final and the final of the TSG tournament. Should be exciting, but I’ll leave the details for a future news post about these matches.

In addition to this website, we also have a lovely irc channel: #archaea on irc.quakenet.org. Stop by, say hi and idle!
