MYM threatens with NGL-One boycott

MYM's staff is not completely happy with the past weekend in Germany, despite their victory in the NGL-One playoffs. The living conditions were so bad that they won't attend next year if the accommodations do not improve.



"...there is no way that we will accept to the treated like that and that is not a threat, that’s a fact!"
During the past weekend the NGL-One playoffs took place in Leipzig, Germany. 30 kilometres away, in a town called Rötha, was the hotel that the NGL-One staff had booked for the WC3 players located. MYM's COO (Chief Operations Officer) Mark Peter "Mercy" de Fries was, despite his team's victory in the playoff, quite upset because of their accomodation. In his blog at Meetyourmakers.com he has made a long list of things he disliked about their living conditions, for example he states that there were no warm water in the showers and one was not able to flush the toilets.

Might not attend next year


Further on he draws similarities between his Korean superstars and other big names in sports such as tennis and football, and says that these people would not accept to compete in an event under these conditions. Mercy says that the players should be treated as the stars they are and is also very clear about the fact that MYM will not compete in the offline playoffs again if this "hotel debacle" is repeated, which will be a great loss for all eSport fans around the world.
