MeetYourMakers (MYM or mYm) is a German professional esports organization founded in 2001. It currently has a PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds team and formerly had teams competing in Battlefield 4, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, Hearthstone, League of Legends, StarCraft II, and Warcraft III.
History[]
Dane Mark and Peter "Mercy" Fries founded MeetYourMakers in 2000, but the organization was not officially established publicly until 2001. In 2002, the decision was made to turn MeetYourMakers into a professional esports organization.
In 2008 MeetYourMakers acquired the "Golden Five" Polish Counter-Strike players: Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas, Filip "NEO" Kubski, Łukasz "LUq" Wnęk, Mariusz "loord" Cybulski, and Jakub "Kuben" Gurczyński. MeetYourMakers dropped their WarCraft III team in 2009.[1] After the dissolution of their previous League of Legends team, MeetYourMakers acquired EU LCS team Supa Hot Crew on 8 December 2014, playing in the league until it disbanded in mid-2015.
In July 2015, MeetYourMakers was embroiled in controversy after the team's manager threatened to take Marcin "Kori" Wolski's house away as a consequence of him leaving the team.[2][3][4]
