The Future Of NoA

Posted by cobbeh at 11:35 19/1/2004.

The recent formation of the International team, NoA, brought a lot of speculation about how they would peform at CPL Winter. Incidentally, they finished in a very impressive 2^nd place behind Schroet Kommando Sweden, after being seeded 22^nd. But what next for NoA? This is the part where the team really gets tested; as the European players leave the US to return home.

Siege, who recently quit as Rival manager, has now been announced as the new NoA manager. As a result, gotFrag have conducted an interview with with NoA|Siege and NoA|knoxville. Here's a snippet:

Becomin the new manager of NoA is a pretty big deal: what reasons did you have for leaving Rival and now joining NoA?

NoA|Siege - My departure from Rival was not directly related to my new position with NoA. After working with Rival for the past 2 years, I realized that a time for change had come, and was necessary in order to progress. Rival's participation in CAL and UGS had unfortunately taken its toll on my time while I also have been working and maintaining a full load at a 4 year university.

NoA's unique international formulation gave me an opportunity to continue pursuing my goals in eSports, while taking things to that next level. I knew most of the NoA members already, and after getting a chance to know the rest of the team it didn't take long to realize they have so much potential. With the proper guidance - sky's the limit.
