mTw, one of the oldest and most successful organisations in esports, have
officially confirmed that they have closed their doors.

一個擁有悠久歷史且曾獲得偉大成就的俱樂部 mTw在1/27宣布停止運作

The German organisation had been tipped to cease all operations since it was
reported that they were battling financial problems, which resulted in their
CS:GO squad going freelance.
這個德國組織苦於財務問題而停止所有運作

mTw have now confirmed via their website that they have decided to shut down
the organisation, putting an end to an illustrious 15 years in esports.
不知不覺，mTw也15歲了

"We regret to announce that mTw will be closed after 15 successful years," an
mTw statement read. "In recent weeks, we had found that the business model
for eSports organisations was no longer viable in its long-standing form.
我們很遺憾必須宣布mTw在15個年頭後將要落幕，最近幾週，我們發現電競組織的
商業模式再也無法長期發展

"Under these circumstances, and combined with the lack of a stable economy,
it was no longer possible. Therefore, we have decided to end this chapter for
mTw. If and when the next chapter is written, is still unknown.
在這樣的環境下，與缺乏穩定的經濟來源。所以，我們決定寫下終章。
能否會有下個章節，還不知道。

"Once again, we guarantee that if a sustainable existence is possible and if
we can give our teams the support they need, mTw will be back.
一旦我們能確保給予隊伍他們所需要的，mTw還會再回來。

"Until then, we would like to wish our former teams and partners all the best
on their way forward and to thank our fans who made mortal teamwork so
special over so many years."
至此，對於我們過去的隊伍與夥伴獻上最好的祝福並感謝過去多年來支持mTw的粉絲

One of the first German organisations to support Counter-Strike, mTw had back
in 2002 a highly-successful Swedish team who featured the likes of Abdisamad
"SpawN" Mohamed, Michael "ahl" Korduner and Christer "fisker" Eriksson.
mTw身為最早成立CS隊伍的德國電競組織，在02年曾有一隻非常成功的瑞典隊伍，
隊上有SpawN,ahl,fisker等明星。(這段歷史我現在才才知道)

After the Swedish players decided to play under the name team9, mTw decided
to focus on the German CS market, until 2007, when the organisation merged
with NoA and brought the ESWC runners-up on board.
在這些瑞典隊員決定轉到team9旗下後，mTw決定聚焦於德國CS市場，直到07年
，俱樂部與NoA合作拿到ESWC亞軍

The Danish team enjoyed a dominant year of 2008 under mTw's banner, winning
tournaments like the KODE5 Global Finals, ESWC Masters Paris, the World
e-Sports Masters and the World Cyber Games.
mTw旗下的丹麥隊伍統治了08年
贏得KODE5全球總決賽，ESWC巴黎大師賽(忘了是分站還是總決賽)，WEM，WCG的冠軍

In November 2011, mTw decided to release the Danish team after supporting it
for almost four years as they struggled to find a stable lineup following the
retirement of Alexander "ave" Holdt.
在2011年的11月，在ave退役後，
mTw苦於找到穩定的陣容而釋出了支持將近4年的丹麥隊伍

When CS:GO was released, mTw's highly-successful CS:Source division switched
to the new game, but constant roster changes and a series of mixed results
made the team take a break from all competitions to find some much-needed
stability.
當CS:GO發布後，mTw旗下相當成功的CS:S分部轉換到新的遊戲
但是頻繁的陣容變動讓隊伍暫時退出所有賽事來找到他們需要的穩定

After picking up Andreas "MODDII" Fridh and Lasse "stingeR" Midstue, the team
decided to part company with mTw, and are currently known as Torqued until
they find a new organisation to represent.
在補進MODDII與stingeR後，隊伍決定與mTw分道揚鑣，在找到新俱樂部前
名為Torqued

後記:我想對岸的電競網站應該已經有翻好的文章，但基於對這個偉大又古老的電競
俱樂部之尊敬，我仍選擇一字一字細讀，在理解翻譯的過程中回味他曾帶給我的
精彩時刻。再見了， mTw，期待有天你仍夠重拾光榮，回到這個激昂的賽場上。
並附上我還沒投入CS前，mTw的光榮戰績
