We had such a great time with each other and competing in call of duty 4 that we agreed to give it another try. I immediately came in touch with a friend of mine, Arno Gerritsen. We felt it would be a good move for both parties to join up and we are very glad Arno gave us this chance.

The Mesmerize Cybersports Association is honored to announce the addition of one of the most famous Dutch Counter-Strike: Source player Rutger ‘ylSs’ Smeding to its roster. Rutger will become a part of the CS: Source team which will be announced this week.

Rutger Smeding had the following to say:
I have been out of the gaming scene for a while but it is time for my return. Though, this time as a team captain for MCA and not as a gamer. MCA is an organization I personally believe in and with my experience I can mean something for the organization to make the best of it.

I am proud to be a team captain and with the gamers whom we will announce shortly we will definitely take a seat in the top-10 of Europe. Personally, I will put my best effort in to this team to make sure they receive what they require to become the best. Do not be surprised when my name appears within the line-up of a match, when duty calls I will be ready.

Rutger “ylSs’ Smeding

From now on ylSs will lead the Counter-Strike: Source division.
