But then something happened. Dreamhack was coming, so the match was postponed, but mouz also lost some players here amough their great leader
Drayich. And then they also lost there sponsorship with mouz and joined up with KingSurf International. But now they only had 4 players left from the old mouz team and according to PriDe rules, they were not allowed to play with unrostered players.Furthermore a new version had been announced. A version that changed the gameplay of dota very much, since 52e was very much about farming, while the new 57b required more ganking and teamplay. So the teams agreed to play the new version, but when mouz became aware of the fact that they couldnt play with their new roster, they wanted to play in the old version, since Drayich didnt play much with the new version. But as mentioned before, Drayich was going inactive, so nothing really happened and time went on, and now team-leader of MYM,
Maelk, decided that this neverending discusion about when the match should be played and how it should be played was ab out enough. There he decided to forfeit the match, so we can be able to look forward toward the next PriDe.Here follow some brief comments from MYM and KS.int
MYM|Maelk:
"We as a team have come to the decision to forfeit the finals of PriDe #11, as mouz no longer exists and couldn't manage to field five players for the final. They beat us in the winnerbrackets, and although we got our revenge at Dreamhack, we also wanted to win PriDe. Unfortunately that wasn't possible. Now we would rather just look forward and get 2009 started with PriDe #12, and hopefully be successful in that tournament as well. Good luck to all the participating teams, looking forward to see some new potential and strategies from around the world."

"First of all I have to apologize to all the fans who have been following this PriDe until the end and also to MYM for not being able to play this final.
As you may have noticed mouz had alot of problems during this time, players leaving the team, sponsor issues and sadly our all beloved leader and father of the team went inactive. As well as the announcement with the new version (6.57) it seemed like both mym and mouz weren't so eager to play the finals on 6.52e thus having problems scheduling in time.
So basically it was a really bad timing especially for us and of course it makes me sad that it ended up like this. Nevertheless we shouldn't look back as Jacob already said and rather focus on the new upcoming PriDe.
I can promise you all out there we gonna see exciting and thrilling matches from all the teams, and especially we Kingsurf.Int are trying hard to provide you guys actionpacked and fast games."
