Counter-Strike Source: MYM closes CS:S division

By: Jack Westerman - Published April 02, 2008 at 6:28 AM EST - Writer Archive
MYM has announced that it will be closing its Counter-Strike: Source division, due to the prevalence of 1.6 in Europe.
MYM has revealed that they will be closing their Counter-Strike: Source division immediately and dropping their current team. The move comes just two weeks after Danni "rytme" Hansen was released from the line-up, leaving the team with only 4 players, an issue that MYM says made this decision much easier.

MYM’s management cites that, "none of the [European] events have replaced CS 1.6 with CS:S and most likely won't ever". They then go on to condemn Source as, "a game that we no longer consider a professional game with a future".

The official news on MYM’s website reads as follows:

Back in 2007 we took in the Danish Counter-Strike Source team from H2K, mostly to secure a top team for a potential swift between CS 1.6 and CS:S amongst the global events. Since none of the events have replaced CS 1.6 with CS:S and most likely won't ever, we have lost belief in the game and are therefore closing down the division to focus on other upcoming games and the ones we already have.

The team has performed well while being in MYM, until the recent roster changes and it would most likely have had a 80% line-up change, which made the decision easier as we won't start from scratch within a game that by us no long is considered a professional game with a future.

MYM, the CS:S team and its players are parting ways in a good and quiet way and we would like to thank them for their efforts as a CS:S team while being in MYM. We wish them all the best and good luck with their future careers within eSports.

MYM's Counter-Strike: Source line-up was:

Denmark Martin "orga" Hansen
Denmark Thomas "inCre-" Hector
Denmark Lars "h0lm" Holm Jespersen
Denmark Troels "eXce" Kierulff
