elemeNt on SK, NoA and bds

Posted by flicK at 23:22 24/4/2004.

International CS star, Ola "elemeNt" Moum who is in the center of a storm of controversy between SK and NoA concerning his announced departure from Schroet Kommando, has recently given a quite detailed and worth-while interview to GotFrag's Trevor Schmidt.

In the interview, elemeNt reflects on his time with SK, his reaction to SK Managing Director bds's threat of legal action, and his future plans.

Here's a preview:

I think that the biggest question everyone has about the new NoA will be practice time, do you think that this can be solved with boot-camping and what do you expect when meeting all of these new faces, especially shaGuar?

Well, we'll spend constant time together this summer, and learn the mentality and gameway of each and every player. It shouldn't be a problem.
And if they start doing that crazy American solo stuff, Knoxville and I will have to take out the whip and slap some around.

Grab the full interview with elemeNt and the truth towards his sudden depature from Schroet Kommando here.

the questions were pretty probing, but element just ignored them for the most part.

"Q - Will you be attending the ESWC American qualifier with NoA and how do you expect to do facing the first test against American teams?

A - Most likely yes."

element rocks bells tbh. You gotta respect the guy just for leaving SK. Who leaves SK??? Has anyone actually left SK before? His skill and tactical awareness makes him the no.1 player in the game by far imo. Added to that, he's also the coolest top level player. Cool for a kid anyway. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Why respect someone for leaving a clan? Its not like hes trying to 'promote esports' or fight the man or anything, hes doing whats in his own intrest. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

CS ain't been blown out of proportion. what do you expect when you have like 250k prize purse at tournies. I doubt they'll succeed in legal action anyway. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Sorry to sound like a t**t, but element in my opinion seems arrogant. Although, ok, I suppose having a 'rep' influences his attitude, I just hate it when I see players behaving like this.

Fair play, he's got a bit of money now, a reputation etc, but it all seems a bit crazy hopping about and saying how he didn't fit in the clans he was in bla bla bla.

I'm not saying he's the only one who behaves this way, just it gets on my tits!

It's true I dislike element, and it's not because I'm jealous either - I don't play cs. I just don't like his attitude.

P.S Loved it when heaton owned him with a smoke nade on nuke - made me smile :] [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I don't think I'm cool. I was merely stating my opinion - if that's alright with you. And I won't be watching element because I don't play cs anymore - I was refering to his previous performance/attitude, when I was playing cs.

I come to this site to read about cs every now and again and this caught my eye. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
