"I’ve had various invitations and offers from several small and big teams but MYM was the first team that approached me the right way – they both offered me a position as team manager and player like I used to be in ToT. As well they were the first team that agreed on special circumstances concerning my studies and my personal life which I appreciated very much. After that there were very friendly talks and they agreed on my philosophy how to lead a StarCraft 2 team which means that you are going to see one of the best StarCraft 2 squads here at www.mymym.com in the future I hope that everyone that supported me and ToT in BW will support MYM and me in StarCraft 2 as well because we are going to get something started here Last but not least I would like to thank MYM and all its sponsors once again."

Yep SaSe wasn't ever really that good in War3 imo. Xlord was a good UD and hes young enough so I think he'll be a good SC2 player.

My thoughts exactly. What's the point in investing in players who haven't even proven themselves yet? XlorD was always known for demanding a higher salary so I wonder what ridiculous sum they're paying him.

Hi Mondragon, good to see you back around. After you picked up SC2 during the Beta you stopped playing for a while. What happened?

Mondragon: I have never stopped playing SC2. I just did not play as much as others and I did not play many tournaments, that is why people assumed I would have stopped SC2 but it's not the case! After TSL 3 was announced people interpreted that I would start again but in fact I have never stopped playing - I just don't play as much as others

Are you trying to revive the ToT spirit at MYM?

Mondragon: I do not want to call it ToT-spirit. The way I've lead ToT for more than a decade is a philosophy I am totally convinced of and I'll stick to that philosophy in MYM as well and base the team on the same key attitudes as I selected the members for ToT.

Can people expect more additions to the team in the near future?

Mondragon: We are definitely working on getting new members that fit to the team but it is easier said than done. We will try to base the team on experienced players and on a few talented players if possible. Especially in SC 2 it is quite difficult because many players are contracted. This means that you have to wait for the contracts of the prefered players to terminate.

Does Mondragon even play anymore? Or he is using a diff ID perhaps? Haven't seen that name do anything since beta (tho I haven't watched every tourny). I know he is a BW legend but that obviously isn't sufficient for success.

Used to watch Xlord play UD in WC3 and he was pretty good.

Edit: Ya apparently he still does, according to his interview. He can't help but be rusty staying away from real competition for so long though. Going to be a rough start back.
