	Games - Team NoA

Team NoA are a professional Counter-Strike team who are as well known for setting precedents as they are for being a successful team. They were the first professional e-sports team to consist of members from multiple continents when they formed the team from highly experienced players from the USA and Norway and also for being the first e-sports team to ever pay for a player transfer out of a contract when they bought Norwegian player Ola “element” Moum out of his contract with SK Gaming.

In July 2005 the international NoA team came to an end with 3 of their starters (shaGuar, method, and elemeNt) leaving for teams such as Team 3D and Four Kings and it was announced that the team would from then on be more localised. In late August a new Scandinavian team was announced along with new management, sponsorships and branding.

The CPL UK World Tour (Sept 2005) stop was the new NoA's first tournament, and they did very well by outplacing big names such as SK.swe, 4Kings and MiBR.
