Most people who have followed the Counter-Strike 1.6 scene a bit over the last years should have a slight idea who NoA is and what kind of heritage they brought
to that community, yet it didn't end there. Over the last months and years this solely Counter-Strike 1.6 based team has invested in several other promising games and players.
Their Korean Warcraft III squad has somewhat been successful in their broad and difficult game while participating in the biggest Warcraft III leagues, next to that their current Counter-Strike 1.6 team has been known to hand out humiliating defeats to some of the best teams in the world, proven by a 2nd place finish at the latest Electronic Sports World Cup in Paris, France.
But today the organisation decided to venture into a new direction and pick up another promising squad of youngsters, this time they chose a team in the younger stepbrother of Counter-Strike 1.6. Yet these are not a team to mess with as their recent successes have told and proven, the Swedish Counter-Strike: Source players of Adastra are one of the top contenders for the coming The-Experience LAN in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The five players that are a part of the new NoA squad have come together from various Swedish top notch teams such as Team-Dignitas and Check-Six, of whom both were considered to be a real menace to the European Counter-Strike: Source competitions and leagues. The vast amount of experience gathered by all players has contributed to one of their most recent achievements, qualifying for the Region #3 Championship Gaming Series Combine event after a close loss to Fnatic during the online final.

We'd like to wish them the best of luck and hopefully they will be successful in The-Experience event this weekend, proving they are a force to reckon with. |
Statement Thabeus: "With the CS:S-Team, we are following the way we started in November 2006 to become a Multigamingclan. We are happy that we found this great team that represents us in the CounterStrike:Source-scene. The players demonstrated in the past that they can play for top-places in the international scene. CounterStrike:Source evolved, next to its big brother CounterStrike, in the past 2 years and reached a place in the highest league in germany and get more and more attention.. To give consideration to the growth and the development we decided to take a CS:S team to NoA and we are looking forward to a good teamwork. At the same time we can announce that this is not the last step in this year. We wish all players all the best at the experience LAN in Denmark where you are able to see the team the first time under the flag of Team NoA."
Statement vanillah: "We are happy and pleased to be a part of the NoA organisation. We were in touch with a few other organisations before NoA. But nothing felt like 100%. But when NoA came along and we started to negotiate. We felt like this was it. With NoA in our backs with financial support and a strong management in NoA this cant go wrong. We have always had high but realistic goals in the team. The players can now focus 100% on the game instead of worrying about stuff around the game. We have a huge name to live up to. But we feel confident that we will have a great time in NoA and that the success is just around the corner. With the eXperience LAN in Denmark just around the corner and the CGS combine coming up and leading the SGL invite league our self confidence is top notch. And joining a team like NoA in the middle of all of this is just a great feeling to have."
Statement haunted: "Dear friends and enemies of the internet, today is a great day for adastra! After resurrecting the team a couple of months ago, things have progressed really fast. We qualified for the CGS combine and are well underway to finish 1st and undefeated in TheSGL Invite league. Knowing that the CGS combine was coming up, we decided to find ourselves a new, professional home in order to take our gaming to the next level. After a lot of hoping and praying, Thabeus (CEO of NoA), decided that we should have a talk. Things just said "click" instantly! NoA was our nr. 1 choice to start with and apparently, we were theirs. We know exactly what we want out of gaming and NoA is without a doubt the most trustworthy and professional organisation out there. Our goal right now is to live up to the huge, legendary name that is NoA. The first stop on this journey is the eXperience LAN in Denmark (3-5 august). After that we have the CGS combine, most likely in a month. Hopefully we will make René and all the other lovely people of NoA proud!" |
