- Gaming is a part of our marketing strategy, and Team NoA felt like the perfect option for us, says Dennis Qin, General Manager of Kappa China.

Kappa, an international distributor of high-end sportswear, is based in Italy and probably most known for their Italian soccer uniforms. The company will supply uniforms, training tees, jackets and bags for Team NoA.

Team NoA's manager, BrandTheGame's Vidar "Savel" Hodnevkam is proud to say that Team NoA is now a Kappa team.

- We're extremely happy to have Kappa on our team, and it's a great step for us on our way to becoming the most professional team and organization in e-sports. Professionalism starts with looking professional, which we are guaranteed in a partnership with Kappa, Hodnekvam says to teamnoa.net

BrandTheGame got in touch with Kappa for the first time in WEG season 1, when Team NoA played in a Kappa exhibition game. The two parts will engage on a one-year contract.

If everything goes by schedule, Team NoA should be in their full Kappa attire for WEG season 3. Looking fresher than anyone else.

WHAAT!! KAPPA!

uhh riiiight

wow this is a big step in e-sports ... watch for big name companies to follow; nike, coke, mcdonalds, etc

This is pretty big. I don't like kappa stuff but the actual idea of 'real life' sponsors coming into CS is a great step forward.

NoA have gone chav :S

impressive.

wtf is KAPPA

TEEEHEEEE1!

ohhhhhhhh sh * t!!! kappa to sponsor!!!

NoA is the shiet! Hope they win CPL UK and silence those who doubt them. Nice step in eSports and taking CS 1.6 up a knotch in the marketing world.

damn they gonna look pimp now !

If they had one of those jerseys with Method on the back I would seriously buy one. Element wouldn't be too bad either. But I don't think I could buy one with one of the current five members of Team NoA.

Other teams need to get some better threads.

RoaR

haha, kappa is crazy

interesting now cs players need athletic clothes :D

i want that t-shirt:D

AICI MURIM! (means HERE WE DIE)
