cbteam spawns again

10-2-2010 20:23

The Norwegian team named cbteam has been re-created, with three of its original members.

cbteam was created in mid-February 2008, seeing the mixture of former MYM and Team Convention members. For World Cyber Games 2008, the team housed the former eoLithic-star Ola "elemeNt" Moum. At World Cyber Games 2008, where the team managed a fourth place finish.

Not much spirit was left in the team several weeks after their return from Cologne and the team was torn apart.

On this day, the team has been re-created, with three of its founding members; Sondre "REAL" Svanevik, Tommy "syrtekz" Skoglund and Preben "prb" Gammelsæter. Tommy "tacky" Mosgaard and Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen follows Gammelsæter from Oslo Lions to cbteam.

cbteam consist of following:

Sondre "REAL" Svanevik
Tommy "syrtekz" Skoglund
Preben "prb" Gammelsæter
Tommy "tacky" Mosgaard
Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen

While it started just as a rumor, Haraldsen confirmed to Catch-Gamer.no that these five players will united to re-create cbteam.

"We left Lions because of some disagreements. We decided to add REAL and syrtekz to our team, because they are good and experienced players. We felt the old lineup didn't work as well as we'd hope. We're going to attend TG10 first, then we will continue playing hard and attend as much as possible after that. We will be playing as cbteam, unless something else opens up!" - Karl-William "kalle" Haraldsen told HLTV.org

A rumor floating right now is that the team might be connected with the UK-based organization 4Kings.

2010-02-11 11:39

Correction cbteam was created in late/mid 2006. Faturing * REAL * prb * Juve9le * ooPS * xione The team was later on in 2006 taken in with MYM. In late 2008 they were back with a little twist to their lineup. Adding ElemeNt, noLA'n syrtekz!

2010-02-16 01:26

Very nice, glad they are without zen!

2010-02-10 20:25

this is the best lineup norway can have atm. Five best players of norway.

you think prb is better then kalle????? kalle has been one of norways best players this year. we have seen prb at one event where he didnt exactly play amasing.

kalle is uprising, a "newly spawned" talent. tacky is a top3 player from norway, and have been it for lots of years.

if he still plays like he did in 2008, he is, but we havent seen enough of him lately to rank him over players like kalle, tacky, vertigo etc that have been consistant for a long time now.

2010-02-10 20:32

Although this is a really exciting lineup, i'm hoping Oslo Lions stay together, could still do some damage with 2 good riflers!

2010-02-10 20:32

Retired but t0s hangs around in XpreZ. Last time I talked with KF3, not too long ago, he had a project going but I think it disbanded. This is the best Norway has to give.

2010-02-10 21:00

Most of them have moved on from CS, some of them play CS occasionally, and stingeR converted to Source. EDIT: BAH, Pus beat me to it =(

2010-02-10 21:05

stinger norways best player went emo and started whit css :(

If they pracc enough, if they have serious approach on this it will be hard for other teams :) btw they should find some $RICH$ organisation which can send them to more international events. :)

As someone said the best norwegian lineup atm, 5 best players but its enough against best teams? dont think so to be honest. They already tried with 5~ diffrent lineups (with day, vertigo, zen etc) Time will tell

2010-02-11 01:59

REAL, elemeNt, noLA, vertigo, any of current team ... and it would be worldcrushing .. or any eoL comeback =D

2010-02-11 02:15

Nice lineup. Gl

2010-02-11 14:24

sad KF3 made that embarrassing and uncalled for statement vs WMF...he was a great player...that pretty much ended his career... I have heard that vertigo is very good...if that's the case..they should have gone for him instead of prb..

I like Vertigo and his playing style, he's a good player indeed. But on a ranking list prb would've been placed above Vertigo.

achievements wise definitely...prb over vertigo..but in any recent events worth of note..two norwegians stand out..kalle and vertigo. I am not too sure about motivation..especially for REAL, prb, ....etc these guys have been playing like forever..and their teams fold up so fast...its not even funny... Though honestly...I am glad to see REAL back :) If only they practice....

Oslo Lions haven't really shown themselves in "latest events". They did not attend IOL as planned, and DreamHack sucked for their part. prb is back and his motivation is on top; he's missed playing on a higher level. You should've seen him play versus Romania - he's clearly back for good if you ask me. :) REAL is a great player. I only hope he keeps his spirit and motivation up. He is going to lead Norways ENC-team along with Norways NationsCup manager XpreZ|aNdEEh.

2010-02-11 08:45

your deffinatly right about dreamhack if you look at their placement, but their games against mym and h2k, they played amasing imo. who knows, if zen had made thoose 2 kills on cw in that last round, maybe we would have seen lions winning that match.

2010-02-11 08:54
