Fernando Sandoval Rojas

This blog has not been updated for a long while. I just had too much to do with studies and my new job.

Since this is focused on eSport, I´d announce here, that I gained a spot in the upcoming ESL Pro Series in QuakeLive 1on1! This is by far the biggest triumph for me. I´ve always wanted to compete on the highest level. I must admit, that the way to it, was quite lucky. Despite I lost the match, which could lead me to a guaranteed spot, the relegation tourney had to be stopped at some point, because not enough players showed up. In the end I gained a spot.

So far so good. The problem now is, that my gaming computer malfunctions currently. I sent the computer to inspection but the problem was not solutionable, since there were no problems diagnosed at the pc shop.

Somehow my computer screen goes into standby modus randomly, as if there would be no video output signals anymore from the graphics card. But the computer keeps on running, I´m staying connected to the internet, the mouse dpi switch seems to work, but the numlock key is stuck at the state when the monitor goes into standby.

The aspect that I´m currently an independent gamer, is on one hand good, but on the other hand, when I have some problems like this, I don´t have a replacement computer instantly there, I don´t have any replacement parts for free. I have to wait for the diagnosis, and buy what´s required. And it costs way too much in the long run. I have to decide, if I keep it on, with gaming or not. This is maybe the best opportunity I´ve had, when it comes to gaming. All what me hinders is the malfunctioning computer.

Anyway, it´s up to me to find the issue as soon as possible, because the pro season is starting soon. 25th of August 2010 will be the first game. I have to be prepared by that date.
