One of the biggest names in the history of eSports, German organisation MYM (Meet Your Makers), has announced that they have picked up a new Academy team.
They already have a partnership with  MVP, but they wanted to have a presence in the European scene, so they recruited five up and coming players to represent them.
 FooFighter - Formerly playing for Alien Invasion
NarutO - Formerly playing for Type Gaming, mTw
 kAra - Formerly playing for Team Replika, NOM Gaming, ESC Gaming

It has been several months since our European Starcraft 2 squad disbanded, but today is a happy day for all of us at MYM as we can finally announce our return to the European Starcraft 2 scene with the signing of 5 talented players hailing from France, Germany and Serbia. For quite a while now, MYM has been unrepresented in the European Starcraft 2 scene, with our name being alive in the scene only thanks to our partners at Team MVP. Now though, we are looking to slowly change that as we intend to keep building this team in the coming months. However, and as opposed to what was done in the past, MYM will now invest on the future. This new StarCraft 2 project is called MYM SC2 Academy and here are our rising talents:
Let us start with our first recruit : Vasilje "FooFighter" Kekovic who comes from Serbia, a country that is known for its Terran talents. Therefore it should come as no surprise to you that our new addition FooFighter is a rising terran star, and aims at becoming the best player in his country and in Europe!. FooFighter last played for Alien Invasion which features some very talented players, which is why we are more than happy to welcome him to our team.
Our next recruit is very famous within the community: Silvano "NarutO" Bovo, as he is a gifted caster, and has been a familiar face in many tournaments since his Brood War days. NarutO is an experienced terran as he has been playing the race since his BroodWar days. In the most recent chapter of his career NarutO played for German powerhouse mTw, whom he represented at prestigious tournaments like Homestory Cup or ESL Pro Series.
NarutO isn't the only player that used to play for mTw, his former teammate Thomas "kAra" Ciolak is also joining our new MYM SC2 Squad. kAra is considered one of the best 2v2 players in Europe and forms the German National Team 2v2 pair with Delphi. A protoss player, he is also very skilled in 1v1 and is famous for his creative strategies, which earned him the nickname of "Smartoss". He already wore our tag a long time ago during his BroodWar days and we are very pleased to have him back for StarCraft 2.
Along with them comes our thirs German player : Rene "teNu" Duwe. Our youngest player is only 16 years old, but he has been practicing really hard and recently made it to Grand Masters. With about 30 games played every day, his motivation and his talent will undoubtedly make him a very solid player. His aim is now to enter more and more tournaments to keep learning but also to demonstrate his skills to the world.
Finally, our last recruit hails from France. A former member of ESC Gaming, Alexis "ShAyErS" Hamon is a solid Zerg player who has been around for over 10 years, and played several games competitively. After a break from the StarCraft 2 scene, he came back in March with more motivation than ever and will now represent our colours in every tournament he plays.
MYM Announcement

Go Foo

I'm pretty unfamiliar with all those names except NarutO but GL to them anyways!
It's cool to see MyM getting back into SC2 beyond a few select Koreans. NarutO has given some pretty solid Terran advice here on TL that we can all benefit from and I hope he gets into good shape
|
Gogogo FooFighter! You will be the best player in EU no doubt (after me that is!):D
I'll stay tuned to this team! Are there streams/schedule or something for teamleagues that we can watch?

team looks kind of dissappointing to me considering its MYM but gl to them.

Thanks for the cheers guys. I'll make sure to be active casting at TaKeTV and obviously playing on my stream. Right now I'm on a bit of a "getting structure" in my life break :D! I'm happy to play once again with kAra who is a very cool guy, FooFighter who I used to flame a lot but he's actually quiet the man if you get to know him.
teNu is a friend anyways and I didn't know Shayers before, but he seems like an easy person to like
|
Congratz to all of those! Especially kara and NarutO
|
I noticed that it says 'Academy team'. Does that mean that MYM has a higher caliber pro team in the works?
|
|
|
Yees! GoGo NarutO and kAra to Korea? :D
|
|
|
Naugrim also joined.
MYM fighting!
|
|
|
Finally great success for the hardworking Naugrim... this guys has insane potential.

Wasn't shayers the french hacker?

Weird pick ups by MYM, when there are players like Cytoplasm, Tefel, DBS, monchi or sYz.

I want MYM to be as far as humanely possible from their WC3, I'd hate to see them repeat WC3 over again.

Congratz to naugrim! Very nice player.
|
I hope they do more with the team than just have it for show ):

because they did pretty much what EG are doing now, without having enough money to back it up for the long term.

And then collapsing and running out of money.

Very cool to see MYM coming back, I hope to see them become a top tier team again.

quiet interesting how you define academy and 'up and coming' as established names unlikely to improve, judging by these picks.

did type disband?
Not much information out of them. The organisation is still alive, but they have new management (Els - former Button Bashers manager - Dutch org which had a very successful Korean WoW team), and apparently, they're letting go/let go of their SC2 players and recruited a Dota 2 team. The Japanese players might still be part of the org though.

To all of you saying the team is not good enough for us, please keep in mind that this is only our Academy roster.
I understand some of you may be concerned with our picks, but we believe these players are all talented enough to represent our Academy team.
Thanks to all of you for posting !

I'm not sure if you are implying it or not, but EG is very stable and has enough money to "back it up for the long term".

Naruto is a cool poster here at TL. Just for that alone he has my support and best wishes going forward.
GLHF to him and MYM.
|
Foo and Naugrim really top notch players.
GOGO!!!~
|
MYM has quite a bad reputation for the past few years, hope they can deliver.
GL Foo & Naruto!

Gl to all, especially Naruto, one of the better pro posters on here
|
Nice to see that Naugrim get to join a team! He deserves it.
|
I'm happy to see MYM back, long live the oldschool legend team!
|
I love Narutos german casting, but it seems weird to describe these players as up and coming.
|
pretty interesting stuff 
MYM was THE shit in BW
|
|
|
To the guys proposing Cytoplasm, he is in Eternity team atm
|
good for kara.
i remember playing the most entertaining 2n2 in Broodwar I can think of against him.
|
Won't FooFighter have to change his name as soon as he goes legit pro for a team?

No, he's saying that MYM didn't have the money to do it.
Buying players is fine and all, but not when you can't afford to actually pay them.

No, I'm not implying that EG is not stable, I have no way of knowing eitherway, I'm merely saying that MYM had a lot of money, and blew it all without thinking that they'd need more to backup their heavy expenditures.

Congratulations on picking on Naugrim, he's good and has potential to be really good. As for the others, maybe they'll get good one day.
