http://steamcommunity.com/groups/xoaCLUB Team XOA is of Romania's leading names in eSport, mainly in the Counter-Strike franchise. It all started at the end of 2009 when the team was founded and started playing in the lowest Romanian league, the D Division
The five pioneers were:
DANIEL 'snooze' FAUR
GABRIEL 'relacs' CIOBANU
FLAVIAN 'hype' SUMALAN
BOGDAN 'rivere' FIRONDA
with 'bumq' and 'hdk' as 5th nd stand-in
After a stunning 1st season in the league wrapping up 8 wins and 1 loss the team promoted in the C Division. With the higher division came a more professional approach from our guys and a little line-up change. bumq, rivere and hdk were dropped and in came two fresh players that would drive the team on to the next level. ALEXANDRU 'kinder' BICA
CLAUDIU 'zeki' CHILIAN
DANIEL 'snooze' FAUR
GABRIEL 'relacs' CIOBANU
FLAVIAN 'hype' SUMALAN
With this new line-up Team XOA would go on and put together another fabulous season: 8 wins and 1 loss, easily winning the C Division and promoting in the B Division. In the last competitive season announced on Counter-Strike 1.6 our heroes took on the B Division, Romania's 2nd highest tier in eSports with some changes, ALEXANDRU 'kinder' BICA and CLAUDIU 'zeki' CHILIAN left the team, but in came SERGIU 'insert' POPESCU and GABRIEL 'gab' PETRE, the later enjoying his 2nd spell at the team in the most important moment, it was make or brake, the guys would either succede and promote in to the top tier of Romanian eSport or they would remain and get bogged down in anonimity.

GABRIEL 'relacs' CIOBANU
FLAVIAN 'hype' SUMALAN

GABRIEL 'gab' PETRE
The guys managed a miraculous season putting together 7 wins and 2 losses thus qualifying for the B Division Playoff to the A Division. In the playoff the guys really out-done themselves winning all the matches, defeating every single team thrown at them. de_inferno: xoa [16:11] blitzkrieg

After that fantastic run in the qualifiers Team XOA promoted in the top tier of Romanian eSport, the A Division but would be playing on CS:GO. With the new game come new ambitions some of the old players refused to switch to CS:GO and the team was forced to recruit new members again. We proudly look forward to the new season, and stand united.
