MeetYourMakers, abbreviated to MYM, is a professional gaming club based in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was founded in March 2001 as a Counter-Strike team. [ [http://www.meetyourmakers.com/history.html MYM - History - Beta ] ] It currently holds teams for Warcraft III, Counter-Strike, StarCraft, Call of Duty 4 and DotA. MYM is an official member of the G7 Teams since August 8. 2006.

The team is most famous for their WarCraft III division, Meet Your Makers claims it to be the highest paid WarCraft III team around the globe [ [http://www.meetyourmakers.com/en/news/1021.html MYM - MYM WC3 stars renewing contracts + addition to the team - Beta ] ] with several sources confirming this and indicating that star player Jang Jae Ho makes $108,000 USD on a yearly basis in salary alone.

The WarCraft III division has been among the top 2 teams of the world since November 27, 2005 with their main rivals being the European WarCraft III division of the British team Four Kings [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warcraft_III_World_Championships#Team_Competitions] which disbanded in early 2008. Media speculation has grown in 2007 that the Asian WarCraft III division of the Chinese organisation World Elite will challenge both Meet Your Makers and Four Kings in upcoming competitions [ [http://www.ggl.com/index.php?controller=News&method=article&id=4537 GGL - Warcraft 3 Team Rankings ] ] , which moved in late 2007 to renowned international organisation SK Gaming [ [http://www.mymym.com/en/news/8661.html SK gets ReMinD and Lyn] ] [ [http://www.mymym.com/en/news/9542.html SoJu joins SK Gaming] ] [ [http://www.mymym.com/en/news/11412.html ReiGn moves to SK Gaming] ] , and has become the main rival since.
