cbteam spawns again
By: Nix0n
Time: 2010-02-10 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.

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 01:26:36
Very nice, glad they are without zen!
2010-02-10 20:25:50
this is the best lineup norway can have atm. Five best players of norway.
2010-02-10 20:26:31
in activity
miss noLA and elemeNt old days :/
2010-02-10 20:34:13
Yes, Ola was the best. ; )

noLA is girl,yes?
2010-02-10 21:08:56
nah, he is male
2010-02-10 21:48:13
-tacky + day and the linup is perfect
2010-02-10 22:00:36
tacky is the best norwegian player after REAL and prb imo.
2010-02-10 22:11:33
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.
2010-02-10 23:02:03
kalle is uprising, a "newly spawned" talent. tacky is a top3 player from norway, and have been it for lots of years.
2010-02-10 23:20:25
yeah well im not talking about tacky
2010-02-10 23:27:19
Was refering to what the french guy said.
However, prb is definetley one of Norway's finest!
2010-02-11 08:30:39
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.
2010-02-11 08:51:36
He carried XpreZ pretty good versus CMAX.
2010-02-11 12:26:46
yeah, but both you and me could play 1-2 matches and play a really good game, but the hard thing is being consistantly good over a long peroid of time.
2010-02-11 13:05:27
prb will prove you wrong soon :-D
2010-02-11 19:04:44
Prb was at his best like 5 years ago! Kalle > Prb atm
2010-02-11 10:28:38
i totally agree with you:)
2010-02-11 13:04:14
oh yes he is! I miss old MYM!: prb, oops, REAL, elemeNt and Naikon<3 ! best team since eoL and the norwegian/American NoA.
2010-02-11 14:23:45
they actually where better with Jungelbobbo instead of Naikon :) They we're top3 in the world at that point. Everything just went down the drain with Naikon :P
2010-02-11 18:03:47
BTW, that was team9 not MYM

2010-02-10 20:30:00
its not oslo lions with real, its cbteam with syrtekz and real.
2010-02-10 20:31:22
REAL <3<3
2010-02-10 20:32:08
really nice
2010-02-10 20:32:26
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 20:32:40
GL but i hoped there was elemeNt again when i read the headline
2010-02-10 20:33:16
if they add DaY it will be GOODLESS :) But this line up is pffff OMG :) Go go Norway
2010-02-10 20:34:37

2010-02-10 20:39:52
hey.. some norwegian can tell me if syrtekz is "the syrtekz of old days" i didnt watched him at the time :P
2010-02-10 20:45:12
if you are asking if he's the same syrtekz who played in the old cbteam ect before; then yes, he is!
2010-02-10 20:46:34
Is he in good form?
2010-02-10 21:09:16
dno, haven't seen him for a long time, but I think he was active.

really nice too see some changes in norway. where are all those sick players? roofz, nola, drei, t0s, stinger, juve9le, kf3? norway has / had always the same potential as sweden :(

hopefully lions will find additions and so we have 2 great teams form norway again

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.

Most of them have moved on from CS, some of them play CS occasionally, and stingeR converted to Source.

in a couple of years you will miss real, tacky, syrtekz and so on. time changes.
2010-02-10 22:06:30
No offence but you cant compare syrtekz and tacky to XeqtR or elemeNt. Its not the same level. Look what XeqtR or elemeNt achived... ;)

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

yeah, i think he plays a bit!
2010-02-11 14:24:31
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.
2010-02-11 08:20:30
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 08:45:27
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.

Haha. :/

Back a few years Seven did good, they were even talking with an organisation. At least this was what Vargur told me. They paid their own trip to Gamegune but disappointed.

Last NationsCup match didn't go so well either. There's really not much positive from the Icelandic CS scene at the moment.
2010-02-11 09:41:30

syrtekz is playing rly good. I hoped for Vertigo insted of syrtekz tbh, but syrtekz is actually playing rly rly good atm:D
