[DotA] Maelk and Co Team Mates decided for their Future

After the dust has settled from one of the biggest LAN tournament of the World, “The International” we are hit with the gravest of news. It has been announce that MYM captain Maelk and others will part ways with MYM. May you rest in peace MYM DotA.

For those of you who don’t know MYM (meet your makers) has been a huge part of the dota pro circuit. MYM has been one of the most stable teams out there. Having the 3 core members of Maelk, Mania, and Pusher since the start, many thought that this day would never come.
MYM is one of the most decorated dota teams. They are revered as dota Gods by many, they were the trendsetter. There stellar plays and split second decision making made many boring games into epic matches. But alas with this one of the dota chapters has finally come to an end.

Statement from Maelk, captain of MYM: 

-"We have reached the end of an era, and everyone agreed that in order for us to prepare for the future and meet each our individual dreams and goals we needed to start from a clean slate. For many of us, MYM has been as much a part of our identity in DotA as our own nickname has, but we are confident that moving on is for the best. The players will finish the year off by doing different things. Some will continue playing competitively while others are taking a break from the pro circuit. Some has obligations outside of the game that they cannot ignore while others wants to focus fullheartedly on DotA for the rest of the year.

Indeed an era has ended an era that it will not be easily forgotten. Many of us grew watching them play. It just seems so surreal for this to be happening. Life goes on and like dota it is preparing for its next chapter DOTA2. It may seem bleak but all we can really do is look to the future and hope for the best.

Maelk: Once the new year starts and DotA2 launches, we will most likely meet up and join forces once again!"

There is still hope that they will do what they always do, they will rise again. So we go hearing what Maelk was always chanting “MYM fighting”. Let us continue fighting because as one chapter closes a new one begins.

On August 27, 2011, day 1 of MPGL 3-8 more than 30 teams registered. 20 registered during the morning qualifiers and the rest during the afternoon. Both in the morning and afternoon qualifiers the teams where divided into groups of 4-5. Only 2 teams from each group can advance to day 2.

With 8 groups, after all games were finished 16 teams qualified for day 2. After day 1 these were the teams that qualified:

Day 2 of MPGL 3-8 held on August 28, 2011 featured the 16 qualifying teams from day 1. Again the 16 teams are divided into groups of 4 for the group stage of day 2. In order for these teams to advance to the championship stage they need to come out at least 2nd in their group.

Group A was considered the group of death because it featured 4 favorites. Among those 4 were ASUS.MG, ASUS.MI, Pcfc.IntrA, and XctN.TnC. XctN.TnC managed to come out with a clean record while ASUS.MG, ASUS.MI, and Pcfc.IntrA were tied at 1 a piece. Because of the time rating MG, ASUS.MI was able to qualify for the championship stage.

Top teams, MPGL veterans and some rookies were evenly distributed among the rest of the groups. After the group stage was finished top teams Dreamz and Sweetopia and veterans XctN 2, Badburn, KVG.YBC as well as rookie Minds advance to the championship stage.

After the day 2 group stage these are the top 8 teams that are qualified for the championship stage:

ASUS.MI 

BadBurn 

Dreamz 

KVG.YBC 

Minds 

Sweetopia 

XctN.TnC 

XctN 2

In the playoffs began with XctN.TnC and Dreamz facing off. After a long and close match Dreamz emerge victorious. In bracket B, rookie team Minds pushed top team Sweetopia to the brink but experienced proved to be a tough opponent for the rookies and Sweetopia took advantage and won. ASUS.MI and BadBurn crushed their opponents XctN 2 and KVG.YBC to face off in the next round.

In the next round ASUS.MI advanced to winners’ bracket finals by beating BadBurn. Dreamz also advance to the winners’ bracket finals by taking down Sweetopia. In the winner’s bracket finals ASUS.MI showed why they were the favorites and defeated Dreamz in less than 30 minutes to earn a twice to beat advantage in the finals.

In the losers’ bracket newly sponsored by the Net.com XctN.TnC slowly gained momentum by easily beating rookie team Minds and veteran team BadBurn. XctN.TnC had to take down Sweetopia in order to once again meet Dreamz. XctN.TnC got their revenge by defeating Dreamz to set a date with ASUS.MI in the finals.

Having comeback from Germany as team Philippines and with twice to beat advantage ASUS.MI better known as HAPPYFEET were the heavy favorites. In game 1 XctN.TnC seemed to have countered ASUS.MI by picking Sandking. ASUS.MI managed to even up the game through ganking. Through stellar play, aggressive moves, and constant pressure XctN.TnC stole game 1.

Game 2 of the finals can also be called as the Perfect game for XctN.TnC. Perfect laning, ganking, and decision making tipped the scale to XctN.TnC’s favor. XctN.TnC didn’t have a death on their record until late in the game. The score was 22-0 before their record was tarnished but that tarnished can be neglected because they have pushed ASUS.MI on the brink of defeat. 27 minutes into the game the “GG” was called and XctN.TnC are now MPGL 3-8 champions.

With the MPGL 3-8 ended here are the top 4 rankings of MPGL season 3

ASUS.MI 148pts
XctN.TnC 145pts
Dreamz 108pts
ASUS.MG 105pts


ASUS.MI are holding onto their crown with a slight lead of 3pts. But there are two more MPGL left and a lot can happen in the small span of time. Till next MPGL.
