Got FIFA? We do!

FIFA

It has almost been 2 years ago since we have had anything related to FIFA here on myMYM. That will change as of today though, due to Team MYM taking in a top notch FIFA team, based off in Spain.

The new MYM.FIFA team consists of the following players:

Spain Jose Hervás ‘WoN’ Jimenez (Manager)
Spain Antonio Escartin ‘Typhoon’ Villellas (Captain)
Spain Victor Sánchez ‘Delfin-1’ Muñoz (Player)
Spain Jorge Gutíerrez ‘BuBa’ Trueba (Player)
Spain Gonzalo Cuevas ‘Cuevas’ Méndez (Player)
Spain Carlos Muñoz ‘Wepepote‘ Ocaña (Player)
Spain David Arbolí 'Maximo12' Diez (Player)
Romania Aron ‘AleX’ Alexandru (Player)

Prior achievements of the new MYM.Fifa team:

bp:1 place1:1bp:2 place1:2bp:3 place1:3at WCG Spain FIFA 2007
bp:2 place1:2 World Cyber Games Grand Finals FIFA 2007
bp:3 place1:3 ESL Major Series FIFA 2007 Clan War

bp:2 place1:2 Samsung European Championships FIFA 2007
bp:1 place1:1bp:3 place1:3 Esport Champions League I
bp:3 place1:3 Esport Champions League II

Here is what the managers and the new players had to say regarding their change to MYM:

Denmark Mark Peter Fries, COO

Taking in another team, to our already heavy team roster, is a big thing, as we want to master the games we enter, fulfill our promises to each and one of them and make them top 3 within their eSports discipline. With FIFA we are already a big step a head as the new MYM.FIFA team is consisting of some of the best FIFA players in the world and I really look forward to be working with the guys.

Spain Jose Hervás ‘WoN’ Jimenez, MYM.FIFA Manager

Today is a really important day for us. From now on we are going to be part of the MYM Family, something I would never have expected. But: "If you have a dream just carry on trying to get it and you will get rewarded". I would like to thank Mark Peter Fries and Peter Rasmussen for all the attention they gave us since we offered MYM our services and especially to Daniel, without his help this wouldn’t have come through.

Spain Antonio Escartin ‘Typhoon’ Villellas, MYM.FIFA Captain

We’re very glad to finally be in this awesome club, with so incredible players on the roster already. I hope we will be able to succeed this season in the same way, or even better, than we performed last year. I can’t imagine a better chance for us doing that than playing for MYM. About us, I have to say that we have a great group of players, and above all, a great group of people, who always are improving and learning from each other. We all share a particular sight of this soccer game, a style which makes us different than other players. And of course, it also makes us very competitive in this, sometimes unknown, but difficult game.

Spain Victor Sánchez ‘Delfin-1’ Nuñez, MYM.FIFA Player:

Joining MYM, which to me is one of the most important clubs in the World, really makes me proud. To me it is reaching the highest step of professionalism. I would like to thank MYM due to their interest in adding a FIFA team to their squads and being part in it. I Hope to do my best and help our team to be on top in 2008 and onward.

We here at myMYM.com wish them welcome to the eSports family and look forward to see FIFA oriented news and articles in the community.

can't say i see any games besides q3/sc/wc3 being up to the standards of an e-sport and requiring serious skills, but oh well. wow came, fifa is here :) that's all part of e-sports apparently, best of luck i guess :D

actually comparing for example c&c3 to wc3 is just as foolish as comparing wc3 to sc :) completely different universes.

i'd recognize fifa as an e-sport if whole team was made out of humans, as 1on1 game i see no way no how it deserves to be an e-sport(but money buys anything), if 99% of your team is controlled by pc, even the shots are repetitive and easy to learn by heart then it gets pretty boring, not to mention learning the perfect angles at which the goalkeeper never defends, doing invincible free kicks, etc.

on the other hand, since i dont follow fifa that much - if it is played with more than 2human players then it must be one of the most fun games out there, most realistic would be ofc 22people playing, but since i know the type of gamers attracted to such games - the more automatized it is, the better. perhaps 2-5humans controlling one team might be fun, but then again, im not familiar with the system so got no idea if that's the way it's actually played.

having more then 1 player is totally different game i'v tryed playing PES08 2on2 and it's way to confusing :)))
about PC unit control, in wc3/sc you move them the way you want and they do thing you tell them to move. in fifa it's a bit different you have your 11 players and you move 1 players while other are following your actions. you can't deselect the player which has the ball so you have move another player in better position for pass/shot while in wc3/sc you can. it's very popular game and it's growing so i guess we will have to agree on that that more games we personally dont like much are becoming the part of eSport itself. :)

well games have literally been about "looking the best" for years now, it's not so much about the gameplay, it can be mediocre, but make it look flashy and filled with eye candies! i still find old rts/tbs/fps/rpg much better than the new ones, problem is that games arent getting better, they just keep looking better - would chess be any better if it "looked nicer"?

some things have almost reached the ultimate level, like sc in the rts world, any negative comments on it have a simple counter- if you dislike it, play turn-based strategies.

fifa/nba/tony hawk/omg i won't even continue, such games are obviusly popular among newer generations and sponsors,

i'd love to see a certain "e-sport olympics" where there would be only the true games, isolated from everything negative, such as customers dictating what games should be played just because they are the easiest/most fun to them, companies pushing their products, etc. if you look at the "real" olympics...you dont see many (if any) new "sports" added to it, even though they are popular it still doesnt mean they belong to the true sports cathegory.

yes, ofc there is a long tradition, not to mention that such sports are part of the real world. in this underground world it's harder to strive for games that need brains and hands when everyone seems to want an easy way out, why should i lose for 2years in row, i want to win asap! starcraft is probably best example here since it takes years to start playing it. just look at the sports, name me one sport that doesnt require dedication and years of hard work before you actually start making nice results.

Hello,

On the FIFA do not know much, the players do not move randomly, we have a number of configurations for these players act in different ways that we can change at any time during the match, as both must play in attack or should play in defence. In defence we can choose at any time the player we want, and can handle up to two players defending.

They are different skills, or SC wc3 move your puppets .... But they fight alone ...

Each game is a world and all can be together.

Regards

correct me if i'm wrong...you can in football games premake formation, which player guards which player/zone, etc. over half of the "skill" is based on managing your team and finding best lineup, switch players or their positions on the field, learn by heart all the possible glitches in the game that give you instant goal if you manage to shoot at x angle with y power, you also spend perhaps an hour a day to perfect your free kicks which also leads to 100% execution of the same, game is Way too much automatized imo.

Shameless self promotion

STFU and SHOP!

All you can shop, right in there. MYM shirts, NNScript goodies, and other stuff the ESNation network has to offer. If you can't find it there, we don't sell it! Are you ready to STFU?
It has been confirmed from DTS-Cup 2009 that some of the top teams, such as fnatic, SK-Gaming, ALTERNATE and mousesports, won't participate in the tournament....
