Meet Your Makers was founded by Mark Peter "Mercy" de Fries in 2000. The team started originally as a Counter-Strike team, but has since expanded to include several top tier divisions such as Warcraft III, Starcraft, DOTA, and World of Warcraft.

Counter-Strike

History

In late 2005, Meet Your Makers recruited the Swedish Counter-Strike team Embrace. On February 10th, 2006, Embrace was removed from MYM in large part to their poor placings and roster changes.[1] Two weeks later on MYM merged with the Team9 organization and acquired the services of Jonas "Admin" Hamidi, the former owner of Team9, as the manager of MYM’s CS division[2].


With Hamidi in the driver seat, MYM openly mused about acquiring another Swedish CS team. On March 12th they delivered by recruiting a team built by Abdiwahab "MegatoN" Mohamed, the former fnatic and Matrix player, which included Youcef "Solido" Riahi, Conny "Zad" Ryderholm, Per "Fnazze" Höglund, and Fredrik "Iskall" Persson[3]. Roster changes affected the team almost from the start and two months after the team's creation the CS legend, Patrick "ScreaM" Roth, made his comeback on the MYM roster and Persson went inactive[4]. Then in June another addition to the team was made. Fredrik "hibb" Isacsson was added to the squad and Persson left the squad permanently leaving the team with six active players[5].


MYM's Swedish team was then replaced with a rehashed version of the Norwegian Team9 featuring Geir-Stian "juve9le" Svendsen in place of Thomas "jungelbobo" Aaler. The creation of this team reunited the two halves of the Team9 roster that split, with Sondre "REAL" Svanevik and Preben "oops" Josdal on Catch Gamer and Lasse "xione" Stokke and Preben "prb" Gammelsæter on Team NoA[6]. Just before CPL Winter the team added Ola "elemeNt" Moum to the squad[7], and shortly thereafter placed second at CPL Winter 2006[8]. That was the team's high point in terms of results.


In 2007 MYM was hit with roster changes that saw both Stokke and Josdal leave the team[9] and former Four Kings player Thomas "DaY" Rudstrøm brought on board[10]. With Rudstrøm, MYM placed 3rd at Samsung European Championship 2007 and 5-6th in the Extreme Masters finals. His stay in MYM was brief, as in June the veteran Norwegian player Lars "Naikon" Olaisen[11], was added to the team due to Rudstrøm's “personal commitments.” With Olaisen in tow, MYM placed 9-16th at ESWC 2007. Jonas "Admin" Hamidi, who managed MYM's CS team since February of 2006, stepped down after ESWC to focus on his other business ventures[12]. In September MYM again changed their roster replacing Olaisen and Svendsen with the young and talented Øyvind "KF3" Magnestad and Matis "noLA" Nygren[13]. However, Svendsen returned to the squad to play in the WCG Finals as Moum could not attend[14].


After MYM was eliminated from the WCG Finals by e-STRO[15] -- due in part to a rather controversial decision which overturned one of their map victories forcing a third map, which they lost -- Magnestad's behavior in and out of game resulted in his removal from the squad due to “social alienation.” To replace him, MYM brought in Johan "face" Klasson, formerly of NiP, and reactivated Svendsen[16].


As of October 26th 2007, Moum was released from Meet Your Makers[17]. The move was speculated for a while due to his absense from the World Cyber Games Finals 2007 and Extreme Masters LA. Days later on the 28th, MYM released Nygren and signed a one month trial contract with SK-Gaming for Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund[18].

Warcraft III

History

In 2002 MYM opened it's Warcraft III division as an all-Danish squad. Players like Bjarke "Bjarke" Rasmussen and René "Ciara" Krag would become cornerstones of the team. Viktor "YskhYr" Stauning, Søren "Maestro" Steffensen, and Christian "pLaZ" Hjorth Møller completed the initial Danish roster.


Early in 2004, MYM became the second team to venture off into the Korean market with the signings of Jung Ko "Susiria" Oh, and Dong Moon "GoStop" Kim. They would continue this trend with the signing of Jae Wook "Lucifer" Noh in the beginning of 2005.[20] In April of 2005 the MYM would merge with the Korean pro team Hanbit. This move saw Ha Dae "High" Gil, Dae Ho "Showtime" Kim, and Wong Eui "Farseer" Hong enter the ranks of MYM, while they departed with longtime member Dong Moon "GoStop" Kim[21].


This roster would not last long. In July of 2005 Wong Eui "Farseer" Hong departed from the team, while two new Korean members, Jae Woong "Storm" Kim, and Jin Sung "BerA" Lee saw their names added to the roster[22]. Their next roster shakeup would be in January of 2006 when they signed Jae Ho "Moon" Jang[23]. Jang would go on to become their star player.


About a year after their initial merge, March 2006 saw the separation of MYM from Hanbit[24]. This move came about with several more roster changes, and would shape the way the team is today. Both Ha Dae "High" Gil and Dae Ho "Showtime" Kim had parted ways with the team, while Jae Shin "EVE" Park was added. The team was also almost fully Korean. Their lone European player at this point was René "Ciara" Krag. Krag would eventually leave the main team in order to pursue a more national venture in MYM.dk. He would be reunited with Bjarke "Bjarke" Rasmussen, who left the team for the same reason.


In December of 2006, the team would add it's first Chinese player Baohui "Yellow" Yu[25]. February 2007 saw Hyo Sub "FoCuS" Eom join the squad, while the team also extended the contract of Jang[26]. Longtime member Jae Woong "Storm" Kim was released from the team in July 2007[27], but would be re-added two months later[28]. September 17, 2007 marked the end of MYM's Scandinavian division, and saw both René "Ciara" Krag, and Joona "Konna" Parikka moved up to the main team[29].

Starcraft

History

Back in August of 2005, Meet Your Makers made the decision to open up a StarCraft with a roster consisting of five players and two managers. Their European player's Maciej "Raven" Polak, Krzysztof "Draco" Nalepka, Yan "yAn" Nekrasov, and Dmitry "Advokate" Demichev. They would also be joined by the very well-known Chinese gamer Jun Chun "Pj" Sha.[30] Only weeks after joining up with the organization, three out of the five members of the squad managed to qualify for the World Cyber Games Grand Finals in Singapore.


Next month, the team acquired four more members to help strengthen their lineup. Their first recruit would be Bjarte "StinGeR" Hansen, a veteran Norweigan Terran user who had just recently came off of a strong finish in the second TLTour. The second recruit Vasil "ENJoY" Parushev from Bulgaria, was considered to be one of the strongest Terran users in Bulgaria at that time. The third and forth recruits, He Bao "hbq" Qing and Luo "Lx" Xian who along with Jun Chu "Pj" Sha are very strong players from China.[31]


Near the end of 2005 the team chose to add the two well-known Polish gamers Dawid "SunCow" Al-Dughaither[32] and Artur "Blackman" Michalak[33] to their roster. Around one month later they recruited another two players from Asia, Deok In "TossLife" Kim[34] and Yu "4Leaf" Chang[35].


In their first big move of 2006, the team acquired the rising Chinese Zerg Sun Yi "F91" Feng[36]. With what could be one of their biggest roster changes of the teams existence they added Vakhtang "Ex" Zakiev, Paulo "ReasoN" Cesar, Allen "TheEnd" Kou, Sean "DAy" Plott, and Pierre "SarenS" Guivarch along with releasing Dawid "SunCow" Al-Dughaither and Deok In "TossLife" Kim.[37] The squad would remain relatively quiet in terms of activity during the remainder of 2006.


At the beginning of 2007 the two very well-known players Nick "Testie" Perentesis and Yang Chia "SEn" Cheng joined Meet Your Makers from their former team Templars of Twilight. At the same time, several players were released including Allen "TheEnd" Kou, Krzysztof "Draco" Nalepka, Vakhtang "Ex" Zakiev, Jun Chun "Pj" Sha, Luo "Lx" Xian, and Paulo "ReasoN" Cesar.[38] Several months later the additions of Dae "CrayOn" Yoo[39] and Oleksii "White-Ra" Krupnyk[40] were made with hopes of bringing the squad back to activity.


In October of 2007, the squad would switch directions to focus more on team leagues rather than individual. With this change, most of the StarCraft roster of Deutschlands Kranke Horde signed on with Meet Your Makers with the exception of Sasha "GoOdy" Lupp who made the decision to end his StarCraft career[41].


On the 9th of November, 2007 the Russian Terran Dmitry "Advokate" Demichev was released from the team mainly due to a loss of motivation [42].

World of Warcraft Arena
