Founded by Jonas "bsl" Alsaker, the team was regarded as the world's best several times, taking home many prestigious "trophies" (or at least victories).

The CPL UK World Tour (Sept 2005) was the new NoA's first tournament, and they did very well by outplacing big names such as SK.swe, 4Kings and MiBR.

Shortly after CPL UK, Team NoA participated in the World e-sports Games qualifier in Stockholm.

After World e-Sports Games season 3, the team had some internal problems after the five-week-long stay in Korea.

Team NoA showed their future potential and won the tournament by beating the Swedish favorites, fnatic in the Grand Final.

Shortly after shgOpen the ownership became fully Danish, after Martin "guddo" Cording acquired the organization from BrandTheGame.

[citation needed] Founded on November 26, 2003, Team NoA combined members hailing from both Europe and North America into one of the first truly international professional eSports rosters.

The members temporarily relocated to California to practice at the Gamers-X LAN Center with Swedish team AdrenalineGX a few weeks prior to the tournament.

[3] Two months after acquiring Ola "elemeNt" Moum NoA traveled to Paris, France, for the 2004 Electronic Sports World Cup.

A close win over MiBR in the second round of upper bracket play put them against the winners of CPL Summer 2004, EYEballers.

Strong play in the opening half by NoA was reversed after a flash bug thrown by shaGuar gave the rounds following it to EYE.

They became the first team ever to win a CPL after coming from the lower bracket by beating EYE two maps in a row.

In February 2005 NoA traveled to Korea for the inaugural season of the World e-Sports Games or WEG, an 8-team invite only tournament.

Following the Korean success, MiBR bought out elemeNt's contract and NiP's reserve roster member fisker came in to replace him.

Following success at SHG, once again NoA flew to Seoul, Korea to attend the WEG Season Four tournament.

Losing all three of their first three matches, the team was hastily dispatched and loyal to history, again made roster changes upon returning home.

The summer saw team leader XeqtR retiring from competitive gaming and leaving his roster without a Norwegian member for the first time in the history of the organization.

Moving on undefeated in the 2nd group stage, they beat teams NiP, Dignitas, and Emulate on their way to the quarter-finals.
