eoLithic - From Beginning To End

Do you remember eoLithic? Can your mind stretch back to the 2002? Fragbite have churned out yet another decent read with the documented history of top Norwegian side eoLithic. Snippets away:

In the middle of September in 2002 a new clan was formed in Norway. The name of the clan was eoLithic, and the team mainly consisted of the old star-team from the country, Spacebar. The clan was a product of the split of Spacebar after a dispute with the internet-cafe Spacebar and bsl on one side and the rest of the team on the other. The team left and instead formed eoLithic. After they had taken element with them, who earlier played in GameOnline, they got the lineup of knoxville, Naikon, Luke, nVy, Damien and element.

It was truly an impressive lineup consisting of players of the absolute top-level of the CS scene in Norway. It was a clan that would prove that Norway belonged in the top of the best teams in the world - but this was just a heavy understatement of what they really did. The clan became one of the most successful clans that ever existed in the history of Counter-Strike.

As more and more focus their gaming activities towards professionalism rather than entertainment it is important to remember the past, and especially those that shaped the CS/gaming scene into what it is today. The article, whilst suffering from the swedish to english translation, is an entertaining and well-documenting read.
