MeetYourMakers

MeetYourMakers (MYM) is a professional gaming organization based out of Leipzig, Germany. It was founded in March 2001 by Mark Peter "Mercy" Fries, primarily as a Counter-Strike team. However, MeetYourMakers disbanded in 2009 but was re-founded later that year.

History
The original MYM was known for having very talented DotA players: when the organization dissolved in 2004, MeetYourMakers had a prize team for Defense of the Ancients.

In August 2009, it was announced that MeetYourMakers had created a new team of staff and would be returning to the electronic sports scene with new teams. On October 4, a new DotA team was revealed.

In August 2011, with the conclusion of The International 2011, MYM's Dota 2 team dissolved and the players went their separate ways.

In September 2011, MYM announced their new roster, which included players from Scythe-Gaming, as well as Malaysian superstar YamateH. However, YamateH left the team without playing a single game. The roster also had other problems, with xy-, Chawy, Roy and iceiceice having national service commitments. This left Hyhy alone playing with stand-ins for multiple tournaments. Due to internal problems in MUFC eSports, four of their players joined MYM to form a brand new roster, but only a few months later, they returned to MUFC following mediocre results in The Premier League.

In October 2012, MYM came back to Dota 2 by picking up European squad The Tough Bananas.
