elemeNt retires for good

5-12-2008 00:31

Norwegian superstar Ola "elemeNt" Moum made his official comeback at World Cyber Games 2008 in Cologne – Now he retires for good.

The scene was all excited when a Counter-Strike 1.6 icon made his comeback at World Cyber Games 2008. The Norwegian talent Ola "elemeNt" Moum have been on the scene for quite some time and been playing with and against the very best. The talent would make his comeback to finish fourth at World Cyber Games 2008, losing the bronze match against e-STRO.

Returning from World Cyber Games elemeNt played just one ESL Pro Series Scandinavia match, against fnatic, and now call the quits. XpreZ have for sure been set back losing element, but the team have lost further talent as Mats "noLA" Nygren and Preben "prb" Gammelsætter have gone inactive as well.

XpreZ have added three new faces to fill up the empty spots, to help the team in its further participation in ESL Pro Series Scandinavia. Joining XpreZ will be Ulv Ares "xern" Bjornsson, Thomas "Holm" quitY Nilsen and Tommy "tacky" Mosgaard.

XpreZ now consist of following:

Sondre "REAL" Svanevik
Tommy "syrtekz" Skoglund
Ulv Ares "xern" Bjornsson
Tor Aksel "drei" Haugnes
Kåre "t0s" Kristoffersen
Thomas Holm "quitY" Nilsen
Tommy "tacky" Mosgaard

The team lost to the Danes from mTw in ESL Pro Series Scandinavia with a nail-biting 14:16 on train tonight. Next match will be against HaHa, date remains unknown. The team is on a losing-streak with three losses and will have to gather a few victories in the future should they retain a shot at the playoffs.

Dark, Damien, Naikon, Xeqtr and Knoxville all have already retired a looong time ago. So kinda hard getting 5-6 retired players back to CS. I kinda knew it that he wouldnt come back for long. Oh well.

2008-12-05 16:43

element & prb :( nooo

2008-12-05 18:39

The best team possible that could put Norway back in the CS top scene without element would be: REAL, nOLA, prb, syrtekz + stingeR or drei or tacky imo.

2008-12-05 19:53

REAL isnt the only good player left on xprez. syrtekz is very good to. and tacky is not a bad player. xern really prooved that he was good last game against mtw! so gl
