NoA Drop bsl

Posted by Hotshot at 12:13 22/3/2004.

In a surprise turn of events it seems that NoA have decided to remove bsl, one of the original founding members, from their lineup. Jonas "bsl" Vikan had performed well for NoA, most noteably in their dominating performance at CPL and their impressive defeat of Adren[GX] at the Cyber-X-Games in Las Vegas. The removal of bsl comes as quite a surprise, and the new looking GotFrag website managed to get a snippet from Siege :

After contemplating for a while, the team felt it was necessary for the progression of NoA. An interview with knoxville will be up later tonight on our site

The official statement is up on the NoA website and will be backed up by a personal statement by bsl.

Element's joining NoA afaik, he won't be playing d2/nuke for SK which means he misses any finals or imporant games vs. the big teams, and hes p***ed off. On top of that he misses WCG anyway, and SK have already got 5 [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

He'll still miss the WCG in NoA, but the d2/nuke missing will prob make him leave on its own :( [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Reason there hasnt been any .no teams @ wcg is because there are never any qualifiers i thought?

at least thats what they were complaining about last year if i remember rightly? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I think WCG might have to drop its rule regarding teams all being from 1 country. (if they wanna keep up with CPL)

Its nice though "pure" teams etc. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

WCG arnt in competition with the CPL

totaly different styles of event. WCG is a nation versus nation, always has been, why would they change that seeing as that is what their pride is in, being the best "nation" thats like saying you can put 2 etheopians (not being racist) into the UK long distance running team, should never happen.

If people wanna play in WCG their gonna have to get together the best team the nation can get (unless your team's SK.swe in which case they have the best swedish palyers :) ) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The problem is the game is evolving, and whilst it is a fantastic competition, You end up with, for example,

a great all norwegian team having no qualifier, and effectivly, a UK merc team.

I just think eventually it might kill some of the competiton off. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

hmmm
maybe

but then again if people are happy to do that and the team that goes to the WCG does represent the _best_ UK bunch of players then i dont see the harm in it, altho it does seem to break up a few clans along the way (in 4K's case of using m0rph + DArtagnan from i-es at last wcg)

What with the top UK clans being part sweden these days, I'd rather see a Team-UK represent us at WCG, rather than a merced 4k or whatever. But then I guess that would mean we'd lose out on yet another LAN. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I'm glad they dropped him, hate it when people put "<3 mongomin" or whatever the f*** he used to put, it looked lame! Plus he was probably the worst in NoA, im sure I read an interview which said the eolithic guys never wanted him in eolithic (he was in spacebar with them?), so why they let him in NoA I dont know!

A Team-UK is kind of the same as a 4K merc team, cause in theory you then have the best UK team avilable.

Though i dont think it matters cause there isnt going to be a WCG Quals this year i dont think? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

No greg. Both are true. You'd have joined 4K at the click of the fingers and I think you're lying to yourself more than anything if you say otherwise. You told me you were gonna try ur best and play better than me at ECG/WCG to try get 4K to ask you to join em.

Clearly though, you don't care about joining 4K, and you would have only said that for a laugh(fun). You know you'd have joined 4K at any given second of asking, you wanted back in since you were removed or left or whatever. You kept on about it in omg!, which would and was, a stop clan for you till you found something better.

I'm not critising or blaming you. You would have jumped at the chance to join 4K, whether in I-eS, omg! or ONE.

Like I said, I ain't having a go coz ur actually a sound guy and thats why I expect you to admit that if you were in my shoes you'd have done exactly the same thing. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i hear krispy kremes are opening setting up their stores in the UK, so make sure you get your landlord to install girders underneath the floor so the roof doesnt collapse due to you rolling out of bed because you got a pm from one of your fellow obese war arrangers. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
