Since Dominik 'Lacoste' Stipic will apparently be unable to attend this year's ESWC due to personal reasons, MYM.DotA will attend with a stand-in, none other than OK's 13abyknight.Since he has joined MYM's roster, Dominik 'Lacoste_' Stipic has had quite an impressing performance and besides the language barrier problem between him and his team mates, they all managed to overcome it pretty well.
However, Lacoste is apparently unable to attend his first major lan event as a MYM player, due to personal reasons.
This forced MYM to look for the best temporary replacement, that finally turned out the be Online Kingdom's star carry player 13abyKnight, turning MYM into a temporary 100% danish team.
Here are 13abyKnight's and Maelk's thoughts about this new adventure in their path:

Furthermore, Guilherme Fraga, the Managing Director of Online Kingdom, said:
MYM's DotA roster for ESWC 2010 consists in:
Laurent 'Ange' Blum (Manager)
Jacob 'Maelk' Toft-Andersen (Captain)
Brian 'MaNia-' Strandby
Martin 'Pusher' Morgensen
Amel 'PlaymatE' Barudzija
Jon '13abyknight' Andersen

13abyKnight:
"I am very enlighted to announce that I will be going to ESWC with MYM as their standin and fifth player. When they asked me I just couldn't say no. That's a pleasure to make a roster with 5 Danish. We will practice hard for the upcoming event and I'm sure we can win it! Fans, I won't let you down!"
Maelk:
"Due to scheduling-difficulties for Lacoste that didn't allow him to put in the needed time for ESWC, we have decided to temporarily replace him with Jon "13abyKnight" Andersen for the tournament in France. Jon is one of the most talented European carry-players at the moment and has grown into a consistent player that will hopefully fill out the gap Lacoste leaves behind. MYM fighting!"
Furthermore, Guilherme Fraga, the Managing Director of Online Kingdom, said:
"We want to explain why we didnt use 13abyknight in our ESWC roster. ESWC rules says that you cant participate to the tournament with less than 3 players from the same country so we had to take one more german player. Along with the team captain we decided 13aby wasn't part of the team for ESWC. Nevertheless he is such a talented player, and I wish him best of luck at the event with MYM !"

"Due to ESWC rules, in order to be eligible for ESWC we decided to add one extra German player tou our team, so we could be selected as a german team. 13abyknight is a tremendous player, but after speaking with both him and our team captain, we decided that I was the player to stay home. MYM was looking for a danish player, and approached us. As it is said this is just a loan for the duration of ESWC.We hope we can meet 13abyknight in the final, and ofc win it. Good luck to him and to MYM in the ESWC event"
@Dynasty, not. Stupid ESWC rules, thats all.
This whole mess was caused by the fact that most EU teams don't have a predominant nationality.
ESWC should adjust to that, not the teams.
