Ola Moum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ola Moum (born 24 June 1986), who plays under the pseudonym elemeNt, is a professional gamer from Oslo, Norway. Moum is specialized in Counter-Strike, and is currently a free-agent after being released from MeetYourMakers on 26 October 2007[1]. He is also a member of Team Norway's Counter-Strike team.
Acting as captain of SK Gaming's Swedish Counter-Strike for almost a year in 2003 and 2004, Moum lead his team to win every tournament they attended for one whole year, including two world championship titles. With Moum's leadership qualities, SK Gaming became a dominant team in 2003, winning nearly every major tournament in 2003. Their dominance continued until he left for Team NoA on May 18th, 2004.
He was the first major Counter-Strike player being bought out of contract by a rival team. The transfer of Moum to intercontinental club Team NoA from SK Gaming was not immediately beneficial to NoA's results. However, SK Gaming were only able to win CPL Summer the following year. SK Gaming saw 2005 as a year to change and prove themselves, and they were back for real and won the Cyberathlete Professional League Summer and Winter events.[2] However, their quest to become the "team to beat" again was short lived, and SK Gaming have been unsuccessful throughout 2006 and 2007.
Thus far Moum's biggest achievement with MeetYourMakers is second placing at the CPL Winter event 2006 and taking home $21,000.
