Is NoA's arc drifting away?

Rumors says that Team NoA will sooner or later be parting ways with the organisation, but how do the facts actually look like? GosuGamers shares this juicy story with our readers right here, right now.

Information
Before November 2006, the players of Team NoA were known as Clan Go, brought up by Martin Cording, NoA's CEO at the time. He sooner left the spot to only focus on CS, while the WarCraft squad still was there, and now ran by Matthias Immenkemper and Sascha Vollmer. Side by side with those two gentlemen, Kim 'Drum' MinHae stands as Team Captain, while still working as owner of Clan Go.
- Information gathered from TeamNoA.eu
First of all, the rumor about Team NoA disbanding is not a very widely spread out one. Still, the rumor is there, and all in all it says that Team NoA will disband because NoA's sponsor no longer wants to sponsor the team. It's said that the team are lacking results, but wait, didn't we just see NoA qualifying for the NGL Finals?

In this hypothesis, we can explain the one-of-a-kind way NoA dropped out from the NGL Finals. Simple, the sponsor no longer wanted to pay the team, hence they had no money to fly across the world to play in a final of this calibre.

WPL a victim?


Maybe you don't recognize that Team NoA actually got switched with Clan Go for this season of TGL's WPL, and if you know your facts straight, you remember that NoA was known under the name of Go before they joined the new organisation. In any case, as GosuGamers researched this, the TGL admins were aware of the fact that Clan Go was a talent team of Team NoA, and three different admins confirmed this in a discussion with GosuGamers.

As a matter of fact, two members of the NoA organisation claimed that this wasn't the case - Clan Go simply has nothing to do with NoA, more than that Drum is the owner of Clan Go, at the same time as he's a part of the NoA organisation. Still it is a fact that NoA and Go are two completely different organisations.

This means that either there was a misunderstanding between TGL and the NoA management, or Team NoA lied about the "talent squad", just to get their friends a spot in a league they maybe don't have time to participate in.

It all sounds pretty waterproof, even though we told ourselves this maybe isn't right.
