Jacob 'Maelk'
Toft-Andersen and his team have been part ofMeetYourMakers for more
than two years. In collaboration with MYM'sbankruptcy they have been
released from their contracts, which lastedtill April 1st. In this
interview with fragster the Danish Leader talksabout the past, present
and future of his team.
The interview was held by Finn "pille" Friedrichs and Andreas "RuFFy" Lonz.
fragster: So how does it feel to not be wearing the MYM tag anymore?
Jacob 'Maelk' Toft-Andersen:It feels a little weird, haven't
really settled to the thought just yetas we're still perceived by most
as MYM, and we probably will be untilwe join a new organization. We
have been a part of MYM for a long time,and pretty much everything we
have achieved have been under this name.They helped us alot and in my
eyes took DotA to another level.
Have you been informed beforehand, or was the downfall of MYM a suprise for your team?
Maelk:I wouldn't say we were directly informed of the
bankruptcy, but wesuspected that something was wrong for quite some
time and in the weeksbefore they made it official, I was quite sure
that it was going tohappen.
The MYM Counter-Stike Team are missing two months of paid salary. Did you receive yours till the end?
Maelk:I would prefer keeping that information private. I don't
think the guysfrom the CS-team actually confirmed the rumor of their
alledged missingsalaries, either.
You seemed quite sure that FrontSpawnwould be signing your team with
same terms as MYM. Is FrontSpawn stillan option for your Team?
Maelk:At present time we are still with FrontSpawn although our
contractsofficially end tomorrow, April 1st. If it is possible, we
wouldn'tleave out the possibility of building up something new with
FrontSpawnand the other two sections from MYM, since we're all some of
the bestwithin our field and the two guys behind FrontSpawn, Ronnie
'Twaizz'Jelsbak and Nicolas ‘pops’ Estrup, are two really great
individuals. Wehave been with MYM for a long time, and we have always
been honored ofbeing under the same roof as players such as Manuel
'Grubby'Schenkhuizen and Lukas 'LUq' Wnek. I can't tell whether we'll
continuewith FrontSpawn for the future yet, but if not, its definitely
notbecause of the people involved.
Would it be FS|Maelk if you stay with FrontSpawn or would any other brands be possible? Just being curious.
Maelk:The management has focused on creating a healthy financial
environmentrather than rushing a new name without any actual future.
ShouldFrontSpawn continue its endeavours within e-sports, its yet to
bedetermined what the teamname will be.
Have you made alternative plans if it isn't going to work out with FrontSpawn? Any worthwhile offers?
Maelk:We have received some offers, some more serious than
others, but Iwouldn't say it's been raining with organizations wanting
to sign us.However, we have also made the choice to stay with
FrontSpawn until thecompanies future has been sorted out and we know if
a future with themis possible. With that being said, should the right
offer come along Ican't deny the chance of us grabbing it. It's not all
about what ismore lucrative for us, but of course it does play an
important rolewhen joining a new organization. First and foremost we
want to makesure its a serious organization that we can proudly
represent.
Wold you take into consideration to travel to DreamHack on your own account?
Maelk:Dreamhack is over a hundred days away, I have no doubt we
will havefound a suitable home by then. If we would absolutely have to,
I wouldhave to say no.
When Jonathan 'Loda' Berg joined your Team, did he know about possible contract difficulties?
