CCT - Pixel & Code Society

Precision, Strategy, and Ex*****on!

A huge round of applause for 𝗔𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮, also known by his IGN "𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁," from our very own 𝗣𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 - 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻! Representing the team "𝗕𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀," Axcel showcased elite-level gameplay to secure the 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗨𝗽 spot in the 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿-𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 during the 𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 2026 - SCS Event (April 16-17).

It’s one thing to write clean code, but it’s another to hold a site under pressure and deliver those crisp headshots! Axcel has proven that the logical thinking and quick reflexes we use in programming are just as effective on the server.

While Axcel is our sole representative from the PCS org in this roster, we also want to give a massive shoutout to his four teammates from "𝗕𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀." Their collective chemistry and tactical depth were a joy to watch throughout the competition.

Congratulations! Your PCS family is incredibly proud of this achievement. Keep clicking heads and hitting those milestones!

A massive congratulations goes out to 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗹, 𝗝𝗮𝘆 𝗩 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮, and 𝗝𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘀 from the 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. Competing as key players for "𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗴," they secured a highly impressive 1st Runner Up finish at the Call of Duty Mobile (CODM) Tournament. This thrilling and competitive event was a major highlight of the 𝗗𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 2026 - SCS Event, which took place last April 16-17, 2026.

It takes immense dedication, strategic thinking, and flawless communication to rise to the top of such a challenging tournament. Rogel, Jay V, and Jake brought their absolute A-game, proving that the skills they hone in the Cybersecurity Division—quick thinking, adaptability, and teamwork—translate perfectly into the gaming arena. 💻✨

We also send our commendations and respect to the rest of the Teambog roster outside of our org. A team’s success is built on every player's contribution, and together, you all put on an incredible show.

Congratulations once again, boys! The entire PCS family is cheering for your continuous success, both in your academics and your future gaming conquests!

It is focused on the fundamentals of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and Operational Security (OPSEC). The session introduced participants to responsible online investigation, digital footprint awareness, investigation safety, and ethical intelligence gathering.‎‎

The discussion was started by the 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐂𝐒 - 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐢 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞. He introduced the OPSEC principles, risk assessment, anonymity tools, compartmentalization, and safe investigation practices.
