MeetYourMakers (MYM or mYm) was a German professional esports organization founded in Denmark in 2001. It formerly had teams competing in Warcraft III, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, Dota 2, Hearthstone, Battlefield 4, StarCraft II and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

History

Founded in Denmark by Mark and Peter "Mercy" Fries in 2000, the organization was not officially established publicly until 2001. In 2002, the decision was made to turn MeetYourMakers into a professional esports organization.

MeetYourMakers was well known for its Warcraft III team, having signed players such as Grubby and Moon.

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 parted ways with their WarCraft III team in 2009, due to financial difficulties.{{cite web|url=http://www.gosugamers.net/dota2/news/9500-meetyourmakers-drops-warcraft-3-team|title=MeetYourMakers drops WarCraft 3 team|first=Ivan |last= Turlakov }}

The organization was sold to an investor in June 2012, and has since been based in Germany.

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.{{cite web|url=http://kotaku.com/league-of-legends-player-tries-to-quit-team-manager-fr-1684785833|title=League Of Legends Player Tries To Quit Team, Manager Freaks Out|first=Yannick|last= LeJacq|date=9 February 2015|website=Kotaku|accessdate=July 13, 2015}}{{cite web |title=MYM threatened Kori with taking his mother's house |url= http://www.dailydot.com/esports/mym-kori-threatened-unpaid-wages/ |first=Richard |last=Lewis |date=8 February 2015 |website=The Daily Dot |access-date=July 13, 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.pcgamesn.com/league-of-legends/lcs-team-meetyourmakers-in-contract-scandal-after-threatening-to-take-a-players-family-home|title=LCS team MeetYourMakers in contract scandal after threatening to take a player's family home|first= Rob |last=Zacny|date=3 Feb 2015 |accessdate=2015-12-15 |website=PCGamesN}}
