'''froyotech''' is an [[ESEA-I (Invite)|ESEA-I]] team founded in [[ESEA-I Season 16|ESEA Season 16]], and is considered one of the best teams of all time. It had consisted of the core of the [[High Rollers Gaming|HRG]] team from Seasons [[ESEA-I Season 13|S13]] and [[ESEA-I Season 14|S14]] as well as iT from [[ESEA-I Season 15|S15]]. After their victory at [[Insomnia52|i52]], they were widely regarded as the best team in the world, especially due to their subsequent victories in [[ESEA-I Season 17]], ESEA-I Season 18 and Season 19. In August 2015, froyotech won the TF2 Tournament at [[Insomnia55|i55]] after a Grand Final match against [[nerdRage.tf2]], cementing a second victory in a row at the Insomnia Summer LAN. The team initially disbanded on Nov 24, 2015 due to players' loss of interest in the game as well as a Lower Bracket Final loss to [[TSU]]. froyotech later reformed with members from Strawberry Mangos and later [[clockwork]] rejoining the team. This version of the team won [[ESEA Season 21/Invite|Season 21]]; in their first season as a roster. Due to [[clockwork]] and [[ninjanick]]'s departure for ''Overwatch'', [[Classic Mixup]]'s [[TLR]] and [[-bird noises-]]'s [[phorofor]] joined the roster in preparation for [[i58]], which would go on to win [[ESEA Season 22/Invite|Season 22]]. [[i58]] was the first time in froyotech's history that they failed to make the Grand Final at an Insomnia LAN event, finishing in 3rd place behind [[Full Tilt]] and [[Crowns eSports Club]]. However following some more roster changes, the team managed to win the following international TF2 competition, [[Esports_Arena_Rewind_2017|Rewind LAN 2017]], after beating European Team [[Se7en]] in the Grand Final.

Medic (Highlander)

2017-03-02T21:23:36Z

{{stub}}
[[File:MedicIcon.png|200px|right|link=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Medic]]
The Medic is generally considered the most unique and one of the most important classes in Team Fortress 2. His ability to negate damage with his healing and usage of the ÜberCharge mechanic make him the core part of the team and led the development of the metagame based around ÜberCharges, pushing, holding and defending points.

== Gameplay ==

In all gamemodes, the Medic's main job is to keep his team in shape, by healing hurt teammates, allowing them to rejoin the fight and turn the tides of the battle in their favour. Usually, the Medic will prioritize some classes over others. The privileged classes are commonly referred to as ''the combo'', which consists of the [[Heavy (Highlander)|Heavy]], the [[Demoman (Highlander)|Demoman]], and the [[Pyro (Highlander)|Pyro]]. As for the other classes, some will sometimes receive just an overheal (such as the [[Scout (Highlander)|Scout]]), and some are required not to be healed at all (such as the [[Engineer(Highlander)|Engineer]] or the [[Spy (Highlander)|Spy]]).

On maps without set-up time (such as [[King of the Hill]] or [[5CP]] maps), in the beginning of each round the Medic will give the Demoman an overheal, to enable him to [[rollout]] to the middle point. After that, he will give overheals to all players, and in the end, just before arriving on the point, will give a full overheal to the Heavy, bringing him to 450 HP.

On maps with set-up time, the gameplay varies, depending on which side the Medic is on. In both cases, during set-up time, the Medic will prepare an ÜberCharge, that will be used later during a round. On attack, the Medic sometimes waits in spawn, not to risk losing (dropping) the Über by dying, while the team goes out without him, trying to get an important kill or force the enemy Medic to activate his Über, so that the attacking Über's importance rises.

=== ÜberCharge ===
{{Main|ÜberCharge}}
The ÜberCharge is one of the most important mechanics in the game. Often, the Über percentage will be the deciding factor in whether or not to push or hold a point. Über advantages don't play that important role in Highlander as they do in 6v6, but tracking the enemy Über is a good and useful trait, separating average Medics from good Medics.

=== Positioning ===
It is very important that the Medic positions himself in a way that would make it harder to catch him out. Each map has its established holding points, which are the most beneficial for a Medic. Many of them are easy to escape from but hard to get into, and not in a direct line of sight from any possible [[Sniper (Highlander)|Sniper]] locations.

Another key aspect of playing Medic on defense is knowing when to stay in, and when to back out. If the Medic stays in an unfavourable engagement and ends up dying with the rest of the team, not only will the team lose the currently defended point, but most likely lose the next one, as the Medic will not have the ÜberCharge, and the enemy team will most likely position itself in a way that would deny the defenders from trying to retake control of the point.

== Unlockable weapons ==
Some of the Medic's weapons present very interesting aspects of gameplay, and can be used to execute different strategies.

=== Primary weapons ===
* '''Crusader's Crossbow''' - Most Medics' go-to primary weapon. The Crusader's Crossbow can heal the Medic's teammates by hitting them with the crossbow bolts, as can it damage the opponents. The Crossbow has the biggest possible amount of hit points healed per second in the game, and a successful hit on a teammate can easily change the outcome of a 1v1 battle. The damage and healing abide to the principle of reverse falloff - the farther the Medic is his teammate or opponent, the more hitpoints will he heal or take away from them. With the recent addition of arrow building (using the Crossbow to build Ubercharge), this weapon is objectively more useful than any other primary for Medic.
* '''Syringe Gun''' - The stock Syringe Gun is tied with the Blutsauger for the highest damage per second of any of the Medics primaries, but the Syringe Gun has a higher passive healing rate than the Blutsauger, making it more ideal for overall survivability. However, because it lacks the support potential of the Crusader's Crossbow, and since the Overdose's damage penalty is negligible, the Syringe Gun is not often used in Competitive.
* '''Overdose''' - Often preferred over the Syringe Gun despite its slightly lower damage output because of its speed boost dependent on the Medic's ÜberCharge percentage. The loss of damage is often negligible, and the upside of the increased movement speed will often enable the Medic to get out of a close-call situation.
* '''Blutsauger''' - Rarely used; its health on hit benefit is negligible compared to the lowered survivability of the Medic because of his weakened health regeneration.

=== Secondary weapons ===
* '''Medi Gun''' - The stock Medi Gun has the best all-around Über, which turns the Medic and his patients invincible for a maximum of 8 seconds. However, it takes the longest of any Über to build, with a minimum of 40 seconds and a maximum of 80 seconds. The heal rate for the Medi Gun is minimum of 24 hp per seconds, and a maximum of 72 hp per seconds.
* '''Kritzkrieg''' - The Kritzkrieg is an interesting alternative to the Medi Gun. While having the same heal rate as the Medi Gun, the Kritzkrieg's Über charges 25% faster than the Medi Gun's Über, and grants the patient 100% crits when activated. This can be used to maintain an Über advantage by getting the crits before the enemy Medic gets Über, killing him, and recharging the Kritzkrieg. It can also be used as a high-risk, high-reward surprise play to kill the enemy Medic, who has Über.
* '''Quick-Fix''' - With the new update, the Quick-Fix is now a more viable competitive option. It is mainly used as a defensive tool and a counter to ÜberCharges, as it charges 40% faster than the standard ÜberCharge rate. It is mainly used when a medic is killed and the enemy team is known to have a significant Über advantage. It can also be used to carry out surprise bombs on the enemy medic, due to its nullification of knockback. It also has a faster healing rate, with a minimum of 34 hp per second and a maximum of 101 hp per second.
* '''Vaccinator''' - The Vaccinator trades a powerful Uber charge for four smaller charges that give 75% resistance to one of three damages: Explosive, Bullet, and Fire. It also increases the survivability of the Medic and his patient while healing because of a passive 10% resistance to one of the three damage types. However, it also a -66% overheal build rate. In Highlander, it is used in very few situations.

=== Melee weapons ===
* '''Übersaw''' - Run by most competitive Medics, the Übersaw grants the Medic an ability to add 25% to the Über percentage by hitting an enemy player. This ability often grants the Medic an escape possibility, if he succeeds in hitting the chasing enemy and getting the Über that way.
* '''Amputator''' - Rarely used; It enables a healing area effect, which allows to keep multiple teammates alive; it leaves the Medic very exposed though, as it requires for him to taunt. This weapon also boosts the Medic's passive health regeneration, but even this is not worth sacrificing the Ubersaw for.
* '''Solemn Vow''' - This weapon essentially gives Medic Spy-vision, meaning that Medic can view the names, health, and Ubercharge percentages of his enemies (if applicable). This can be useful for Medics who want to track the enemy Medic's Ubercharge. However, in high-level play, this weapon becomes less useful, as most Medics are capable of tracking the enemy's Uber mentally. This weapon also requires Medics to peek sightlines in order to get a good look at the enemy Medic. This is dangerous, especially if the other team has a competent Sniper.
* '''Vita-Saw''' - The Vita-Saw gives the Medic who uses it up to 20% Uber after death, with the cost of ten hp. It is currently banned from every Highlander league, because it gives the Medic who uses it a constant Uber advantage, and forces the other Medic to equip it to stay competitive.

The heal rate for the Medi Gun is minimum of 24 hp per seconds, and a maximum of 72 hp per seconds.
* '''Kritzkrieg''' - The Kritzkrieg is an interesting alternative to the Medi Gun. While having the same heal rate as the Medi Gun, the Kritzkrieg's Über charges 25% faster than the Medi Gun's Über, and grants the patient 100% crits when activated. This can be used to maintain an Über advantage by getting the crits before the enemy Medic gets Über, killing him, and recharging the Kritzkrieg. It can also be used as a high-risk, high-reward surprise play to kill the enemy Medic, who has Über.
* '''Quick-Fix''' - With the new update, the Quick-Fix is now a more viable competitive option. It is mainly used as a defensive tool and a counter to ÜberCharges, as it charges 40% faster than the standard ÜberCharge rate. It is mainly used when a medic is killed and the enemy team is known to have a significant Über advantage. It can also be used to carry out surprise bombs on the enemy medic, due to its nullification of knockback. It also has a faster healing rate, with a minimum of 34 hp per second and a maximum of 101 hp per second.
* '''Vaccinator''' - The Vaccinator trades a powerful Uber charge for four smaller charges that give 75% resistance to one of three damages: Explosive, Bullet, and Fire. It also increases the survivability of the Medic and his patient while healing because of a passive 10% resistance to one of the three damage types. However, it also a -66% overheal build rate. In Highlander, it is used in very few situations.

=== Melee weapons ===
* '''Übersaw''' - Run by most competitive Medics, the Übersaw grants the Medic an ability to add 25% to the Über percentage by hitting an enemy player. This ability often grants the Medic an escape possibility, if he succeeds in hitting the chasing enemy and getting the Über that way.
* '''Amputator''' - Rarely used; It enables a healing area effect, which allows to keep multiple teammates alive; it leaves the Medic very exposed though, as it requires for him to taunt.
* '''Solemn Vow''' - Allows the medic to see the opponents' health. Its upside is negated mainly by the usage of communication to call out weak targets.
* '''Vita-Saw''' - The Vita-Saw gives the Medic who uses it up to 20% Uber after death, with the cost of ten hp. It is currently banned from every Highlander league, because it gives the Medic who uses it a constant Uber advantage, and forces the other Medic to equip it to stay competitive.

Luke '''"Starkie"''' Hageman is an English competitive Team Fortress 2 player, known of his appearance on multiple iterations of the [[i58]] winning [[Crowns eSports Club]] roster as well as his roles on [[nerdRage.tf2]], [[Reason Gaming]] and [[Ze Knutsson Rollerbladers]]. Starkie is often considered to be one of the greatest scouts of all time due to his flank [[Scout]] role on many top teams. He is also well-known for his offclassing, which often resulted in pivotal plays, pushes, and victories.

On January 26, 2017 [[Drackk]] confirmed on stream that Starkie left [[Se7en]]'s roster for a lack of interest in the game. His final message to the TF2 community was "Stop calling my team slow." (referring to [[Se7en]]).

* Flippy and [[Tek]] have played in every single team together since [[ETF2L 6v6 Season 10 |ETF2L Season 10]], with the exception of when they took breaks from the game.

Chris '''"WARHURYEAH"''' Parker is a competitive TF2 player who is most well known for having played [[Demoman]] for [[Epsilon eSports]] and [[The Last Resort]]. He is also known for his casting and analyzing skills. He was relatively unknown until [[i49]], when his play with Elemental Violence caught the eye of many players in the competitive TF2 scene by putting out the highest dpm and most frags per minute of any Demoman at the event.<ref>http://www.vanillatf2.org/2013/08/i49-by-the-numbers/#more-38968 i49 By The Numbers: Part 1</ref><ref>http://www.vanillatf2.org/2013/09/i49-by-the-numbers-part-2-a-matter-of-life-and-death/ i49 By The Numbers: Part 2</ref>

He played Demoman for [[Epsilon eSports]] for much of their successful [[ETF2L 6v6 Season 18]] campaign, remaining with them for [[i52]]. Epsilon eSports finished second to [[froyotech]] but defeated former champions [[Classic Mixup]] in the consolation final.

After Epsilon eSports folded following i52, WARHURYEAH moved to [[Maincall.tf]] for [[ETF2L 6v6 Season 18|Season 19]], alongside former Epsilon eSports teammate [[kiler4fun]]. The team was ultimately victorious, defeating [[Ze Knutsson Rollerbladers]] in the Grand Final.

Following the changes to Demoman made in December of 2014, he expressed an unhappiness with the reduction in the utility of the class. This would eventually lead to him stepping aside from playing Demoman, playing Soldier for [[4SKINGS]] in the newly created High division.

However, in July of 2015 he stepped in for [[The Last Resort]] for [[i55]] after their regular Demoman [[HYS]] was ruled out with a shoulder injury.

For [[ETF2L 6v6 Season 25|Season 25]], WARHURYEAH joined [[Danger Dogs]] to fill the role of [[Pocket Soldier]] but was then later moved to [[Roaming Soldier]].
When the team disbanded Chris came back to play Demoman for [[dark slayers]] during [[ETF2L 6v6 Season 26/Premiership/Preseason|Season 26 Premiership Preseason Playoffs]].
Now he is in [[Hello Kitteh Ninjas!]]'s roster.

Trickstabs

2017-02-13T17:44:00Z

108.162.237.180: /* Stairstab */

Trickstabs are special maneuvers used by [[Spy|Spies]] to backstab enemies that know they are a spy. There are several trickstabs that help achieve this goal. While trickstabs may be cool and flashy, they should only be used as a last resort, due to their reliance on the target failing to prepare for them.
==Tricking the Opponent==
Trickstabs are usually used only - and are most effective as - a last resort: they only work when the enemy is not seeing them coming, and failing the first try greatly reduces the chances of succeeding on subsequent trickstabs. Like a magician, the spy should pull the enemy's attention away from the trickstab. [[Revolver|Revolvers]] are often used for this: shooting the enemy may make him think that the spy is not trying to use his [[Knife|knife]] at all. Being at low health also helps: players usually relax when they know that they only need a couple shots or less to kill their enemy.

==List of Trickstabs==
===Stairstab===
When a Spy goes up an incline with someone chasing him, he can crouchjump over the target's head to get behind and land a stab. The method for this is generally to actually land ON the person whom'st've they wish to stab's right or left shoulder while crouching, then turning left or right (turn left if on their right shoulder, and vice versa), and stabbing. Pioneered by [https://www.youtube.com/user/SubtIeArt SubtleArt], the stairstab rewards Spies who are aware of the map and their surroundings, although Stairstabs overall are usually not very effective in a competitive game, seeing as most players know better than to fall for such a trick.

===Jumpstab/Rampstab===
Like a stairstab, but instead of inclines, which are commonly used and thus easy to predict, the Spy jumps on props such as barrels and railings to get a height boost for the stab. Even the smallest height difference allows for a rampstab. For example, jumping onto and engie's teleporter provides enough extra height to land a successful rampstab. These stabs work much better than stairstabs, because even experienced players won't necessarily expect a spy to be able to jump over them if not on an obvious incline.

===Ghost Stab===
If someone is aware of the jumpstab, jump on their heads, and when they rotate 180 degrees to "catch" you, strafe the other way and stab them.
===Understab===
The Spy leads someone off high ground, then strafes under and stabs the target. Can also be done against explosive jumpers. This can be done because the angle for a successful backstab is exactly 180 degrees, no matter the height. The concept for this is the same as the stairstab, except in reverse.
===Cornerstab===
The Spy leads someone around a corner, then doubles back around the corner to get at their side and stabs them. A beginner's mistake in this trickstab is not waiting long enough. Depending on the target and on how far away they are from the corner the spy leads them around, it may take from immediately to a few seconds. The rule of thumb is to wait about one second, unless they are practically right behind the spy.
===Blindstab===
Same as a Stairstab or Jumpstab, but the Spy leads the target around a corner as well, which makes the target unable to see the Spy jumping at him. Due to the threat of this, the target may wait around the corner to kill the Spy, enabling him to escape.
===Matador Stab===
The Spy strafes one way to draw the target into looking that way to not expose his backstab radius, then strafes the other way and stabs him. The concept of this is similar to a cornerstab. Oftentimes, one can imagine this as a cornerstab without a corner. The spy first strafes right around their imaginary corner, then back.
===Reverse-Matador Stab===
When the target suspects a matador stab, keep strafing in the original direction to get the stab.
===Drop Stab===
Dropping from a great height and if needed airstrafing to get behind the target and stab them before touching the ground. In contrast to the unreliability of most trickstabs, this is the hardest kind of stab to see coming (and the only way to work also). This stab is best done from a reasonably high height, for example droping from badwaters' roof into the cart capturing the 2nd point. This is perhaps the most reliable kind of trickstab, due to its nature which means that it is hard for it to be seen ahead of time.

This stab can be practiced on tr_walkway_rc2.

Sniper (Highlander)

2017-02-09T20:20:45Z

108.162.245.30: /* Pick Priority */

{{stub}}
[[File:SniperIcon.png|200px|right|link=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Sniper]]
As that [[Highlander]] is a format with 1 of each class, both teams will have one [[Sniper]] at all times. It's usually up to the Sniper or one of the other [[Glossary#Metagame terms|Pick]] classes such as [[Scout]], [[Spy]], or [[Soldier]] to initiate a fight. The Sniper can be used to help either begin a push or make sure that a push doesn't begin by securing an important kill such as the [[Medic]], [[Heavy]] or [[Demoman]]. This key pick helps reduce the resistance or offensive capabilities of the enemy team during a push or hold. This is the biggest responsibility of a Sniper, and most of the Sniper's other responsibilities are directly tied to this. A lot of teams, especially regarding higher divisions, tend to adjust their playstyle to the quality of their sniper, which can lead to a "pocket-sniper", where the teams strategies heavily revolve around this important pick class.

== Gameplay ==
=== Pick Priority ===

# '''Anybody who's attacking you'''. While your life isn't valued as much as demo or medic you are still a vital asset to the team fight so protecting your own life is placed before picks.
# The other '''[[Sniper]]'''. The enemy's Sniper is your counter, your Kryptonite, your nemesis. You two will be locked in a duel until you or him are dead. The other sniper poses such a threat as he can do everything you can and he is a danger to your team as you are to his. Eliminating him ASAP is advised but if he's nowhere in sight that's even more worrying...
# The '''[[Medic]]'''. Killing the Medic is relatively easy as he can be killed with an uncharged headshot or a fully charged bodyshot, when the medic is killed this means that it will be have to be another 40 seconds, plus respawn times, until the enemy team can have an Ubercharge giving your Combo the advantage. This also means that the enemy team is denied healing on the frontline of battle, meaning the flanking classes should get some easy picks or at least they will have to retreat.
# The '''[[Demoman]]'''. The Demoman's area denial is frustrating as passages and vital points can be blocked by stickies and grenade spam can deal up to 400 damage per clip. By killing the Demo all stickies set up are destroyed and your team is free to move in.
# The '''[[Heavy]]'''. The Heavy is the meat shield of the team and nearly always has overheal from the medic boosting him to 450 health. Despite his large hitbox and slow movement speed, skilled Heavies have learnt to duck and weave out of sniper shots. With the 20% resistance he receives from the Natascha and the Brass Beast he can survive fully charged headshots when fully buffed to 450. However when he is killed the team is more vulnerable to spam and flanks as a core element to the combo is dead.
# The '''[[Engineer]]'''. The humble Texan on his own is nothing to you but with his buildings he is much more of a threat as he stops your team from pushing. His death means that his buildings are not getting constant healing (or wrangled). However gunslinger engineer doesn't deliver as much denial as a wrench Engi so picking him of isn't as vital. But taking shots at his buildings when he's six-feet-under is advisable as every bit of damage helps for your team.
# The '''[[Pyro]]'''. The Pyro has limited range (even with the flare gun and other projectile weapons) but can air blast projectiles, harass with after burn and protect the combo easily. In short he is the bodyguard of the combo. But when he/she/it is dead your team's Spy as a lot more breathing room as his main counter is dead. Soldiers and Demos are free to spam as much as they like without the worry of their ammo being chucked back at them.
# The '''[[Soldier]]'''. The Soldier acts as an effective suicide bomber willing to place his life on the line for a valuable pick following more or less the same order of picks like you. Soldier tends to do the "Hit and Run" technique similar to Scout but at the cost of his own health when he rocket jumps. However when not bouncing round the map with his RPG he is rather easy to kill with a medium-sized hitbox and a slow movement speed. But practising how to air shot, headshot can make quick work of Soldier and giving the utmost pleasure when you achieve that.
# The '''[[Spy]]'''. The Spy is deadly to you as you are to him. The Spy like you is also classified as an assassin being able to get kills regardless of enemies health but his strength weakens with proximity (the spy excels at close range while the sniper excels at long). As his revolver and knife are much more dangerous at close range keeping your distance is advisable. Your kukri deals considerable damage and jarate and the SMG can be used to track him when he cloaks but your ears must be alert at all times. But when killing him your team can be consoled that their spines are safe from being penetrated.
# The '''[[Scout]]'''. the Scout is rarely a threat to you unless he attacks you head on and killing him isn't game changing but his 2x capture rate speeds up capturing time so denying a scout the objective is necessary.

=== Countersniping ===

Snipers tend to try and have long sight-lines due to their ability to utilize these positions to create an advantage based on their long-range capabilities; these sight lines mean that the two Snipers can often see each other. Typically, Snipers attempt to shoot each other in order to become the dominant force between the two, because killing the other Sniper opens up an opportunity to safely [[Glossary#Metagame terms|Pick]] without the risk of taking a headshot. However some Snipers choose to ignore the enemy sniper and move to other sight lines to avoid the risk of dying.

The Sniper versus Sniper fight is a very detailed one, with many servers hosted that are solely dedicated to letting Snipers fight each other at long range to help people refine their Sniper killing strategies. Some Snipers prefer to strafe around quickly left and right while out of scope and wait for the other Sniper to scope in before taking a shot. This is due to a few factors such as the extremely slow speed at which the Sniper moves while scoped in; he is unable to dodge a shot and is a standstill target while scoped in, meaning that the Sniper who scopes last will have the upper hand in a fight. Another reason why a Sniper may elect to shoot second is the fact that scoping in shows the enemy where you will be standing to take a shot - the enemy Sniper has an advantage here because he can choose where he stops and retains a small element of surprise due to being able to relocate himself. Other Snipers decide to disregard the "second scoping" tactic and decide to shoot first every time. This can be a hindrance to Snipers due to the difficulty of hitting shots on a randomly strafing target.

=== Area denial ===

The Sniper can effectively shut down entire attack routes with his innate ability to kill nearly anything in the game in one shot, given proper preparations and steady aim. Even without good aim the sheer presence of a Sniper can help to lock down an area. Snipers can ensure cart lanes and control points are clear, and can also help make sure flanking classes are kept away from important core classes.

Areas of interest on most maps are important areas for Snipers to focus on; for example, Snipers should focus on shooting near the cart on Payload maps as it is usually an area saturated with easy kills in the form of light classes who are pushing the cart to help their team advance. This is one way that the Sniper can contribute to his team easily, by slowing down the enemy team's objective taking power.

Pyro (Highlander)

2017-02-09T20:18:59Z

108.162.245.30: /* The Backburner */

{{stub}}
[[File:PyroIcon.png|200px|right|link=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Pyro]]
The Pyro is the most defensive class in Highlander. The class's skillset allows them to diffuse large amounts of enemy aggression very quickly and easily, and as such they are generally entrusted with protecting the Combo or engineer nest along with the occasional spy-checking and deflecting spam through their Airblast. While the class' unique disruptive abilities are very powerful, the Pyro lacks both the mobility and range to be an effective combat class, and as such it is considered a '''Support''' class in Highlander.
==Gameplay==
The Pyro's unique abilities in the airblast allow it to float between sticking with his team's combo (usually composed of the Heavy, Medic, and Demoman) and supporting the flanking classes (usually composed of the Scout and Soldier, and occasionally the Engineer). Its abilities also allow it to push away Ubers and kill enemy spies fairly easily, making it an ideal partner for the Combo or Engineer. The Pyro excels at close range and can take out most classes in close proximity within few seconds. However, his lack of additional movement speed makes it difficult to hunt down targets safely. Some players opt a more offensive style of pyro, and will flank unsuspecting classes for quick, easy picks. This playstyle is known as the roaming pyro.

The Pyro's Airblast is its most interesting mechanic and forcibly repositions the enemy, extinguishes burning teammates, and re/deflects enemy projectiles (including, but not limited to, a Soldier's Rockets, Demomen's grenades and stickies, enemy Jarate and Mad Milk, and Crusader's Crossbow and Huntsman arrows). His afterburn, while a very weak mechanic, can finish off particularly weak enemies and trigger constant voice commands, making ambushing impossible for the duration of the burning.

===On Offense===
The Pyro is an invaluable asset on offense. His ability to deflect is important on team pushes as he can use it to disrupt enemy uber, reflect incoming projectiles off his team and eliminate enemy Spies attacking the Combo.
The Pyro, although important in pushes, does not make a good Medic buddy/Pocket due to his weapon's short range and overall manueverability. In some cases, using the ÜberCharge on the Pyro can be useful if attacking well-defended Sentry nests or if flanking on the enemy's position.

===On Defense===
The Pyro is most important on defense, again mostly because of his Airblast ability, as well as his ability to spycheck. When defending, the Pyro is usually near the Engineer and his Sentry nest, spychecking and airblasting incoming projectiles (Payload) or he is following the Combo and providing support.

== Unlockable weapons ==
=== Primary ===

==== The Degreaser ====

The Degreaser is the most widely used flame thrower in competitive play due to its 60% faster weapon switch time and damage debuffs that aren't very relevant. This allows the Pyro to swap between weapons almost instantly, thus allowing for more diversity in his play style when faced with differing situations during a match. The -25% damage penalty is a negligible downside to The Degreaser due to the fact that the Pyro is primarily a defensive class, and does not need the damage that other flame throwers provide for offensive purposes. It also matters less in that there are many, many ways to nullify afterburn, from inherent immunities, health regen and getting healed by a Medic or healthpack. Its fire particle damage is also nearly identical to the stock Flame Thrower, due to the way the game engine handles rounding. The Degreaser was popularized when the "Puff and Sting" combination was considered the strongest load out for the Pyro, which involved setting a target alight with the Degreaser, then using the faster weapon switch to take out the Axtinguisher, gaining the critical damage bonus from it. Nowadays, the Degreaser is most commonly paired with The Flare Gun, being able to gain the critical damage on a burning player that much easier, since the switch time on the Stock Flame Thrower is long enough for an afterburn immune enemy to stop being considered "on fire". The switch speed is also important for baiting out projectile reflects and getting to your melee weapon quickly, which can be crucial when running the Homewrecker.

==== The Flamethrower ====

While it is the base on which other Flame Throwers are built off of, the stock Flame Thrower doesn't provide the same level of utility that the Degreaser offers, and is thus seldomly used in competitive play. The Stock is not the worst weapon, and still allows the Pyro to perform his usual responsibilities, only impaired by a moment of switch time. The Stock can also encourage a more aggressive style of play from the Pyro due to the presumed increased damage compared to the Degreaser, but this is usually looked down upon in competitive play as this leaves the combo at severe risk of spam and enemy spies if left alone.

==== The Backburner ====

The Backburner is intended for flanking and scoring critical hits from behind. Unfortunately, competitively, Pyro is much more of a support class: protecting the Engineer and the combo and reflecting incoming projectiles. Thus, the Backburner has little to no use in competitive play, due to the fact that a flanking Backburner Pyro is simply a worse Spy, and also due to the fact that the Backburner's hefty airblast penalty is crippling to your team's defense.

==== The Phlogistinator ====

The Phlogistinator, while often looked at as a powerful public primary for the Pyro, is highly regarded as the worst flame thrower for competitive play. This is due almost entirely to the fact that it removes the Pyro's ability to airblast, and thus removing much of his utility such as being able to deflect spam and delay Übercharges. In exchange for this, he is granted 100% crit chance when using Mmmmph. A Pyro using The Phlogistinator is forced to play two considerably ineffective styles of play, the "W+M1" style which involves simply walking at the enemy while firing the weapon, which is looked down on by the majority of the competitive scene, or playing defensively with a Flare-based weapon, igniting enemies to build Mmmph from a distance, which relies on landing flares. The fact that the Phlogistinator's picking potential and effectiveness is heavily dependent on surprise (especially regarding the crits-mechanic), its sufficient usage is pretty much nullified by the aspect of communication, awareness and general calls given in a competitive enviroment.

=== Secondary ===

==== The Shotgun ====

The stock shotgun is a very commonly used weapon by competitive Pyros. It allows the user to quickly dispatch of revealed Spies and Scouts that may be attacking the combo, as well as providing a surprising amount of damage to bombing Soldiers and Demomen. It's downsides are considered to be negligible, being that it can only be used as a close range weapon and does not provide any long range damage, but due to the Pyro's defensive role, this is not always needed.

==== The Flare Gun ====

Another commonly used weapon by competitive Pyros. This weapon replaces The Shotgun with a single flare that, when hitting an enemy, will set them alight. In addtion to this, if The Flare Gun hits an enemy that is already on fire, it will crit. The Flare Gun is widely used in combination with The Degreaser to quickly take care of Scouts and Spies, as well as being able to pick off retreating Soldiers and Demomen that may have been set alight in defense of the combo by using The Degreaser's faster weapon switch time to quickly swap to The Flare Gun, hit a critical strike on the enemy that has been set alight, and swap back. It can also be used to contribute to spam, and also provides the Pyro with a long range damage option. The downside, however, is that it requires much more accurate aiming to be effective, and it takes players a much longer time to master than the Shotgun.

==== The Detonator ====

This weapon's use is extremely similar to the Flare Gun's, but what distinguishes it from the latter is its self-damage bonus. Experienced Pyros may choose this weapon over the Flare Gun so they can "flare jump", which gives Pyro much-needed mobility.

=== Melee ===

==== The Powerjack ====
One of the most commonly used melee weapons used in competitive Pyro play, The Powerjack grants the Pyro 15% movement speed while active, allowing him to quickly traverse the map, which can lend itself well to flanking enemies and moving to the action after a respawn. In addition to this, killing an enemy with The Powerjack will return 25HP to the Pyro, even over healing him if he happens to be over 150HP when scoring the kill. This can make the Pryo very resilient in sticky situations, but due to the Pyro's defensive nature, this will only be used in a pinch. The 20% melee damage while active may make melee fights with Spies and Scouts difficult, but an experienced Pyro will rarely put himself in this situation, and will only attack with The Powerjack to secure a kill on an injured opponent if his Flare Gun or Shotgun are not enough to finish the job.

==== The Homewrecker ====

Another commonly used melee for the Pyro, The Homewrecker deals 100% more damage to buildings - allowing Pyro to dispatch buildings such as mini-sentries and dispensers with ease. In addition to this, hitting a friendly building with The Homewrecker while it is sapped will destroy the sapper. This allows the Pyro to save the Engineer's sentry from Spies even after the Engineer has been killed. Overall, The Homewrecker acts as another asset for the support-oriented Pyro. The downside of -25% damage to players is negligible, as a Pyro will rarely be in a situation where they are forced to use their melee to defend themself.

==== The Axtinguisher ====

The Axtinguisher used to be one of the most commonly used melee weapons for Pyros, both in competitive and public play. It was used as part of the "Puff and sting" combination with The Degreaser, where the player sets an opponent alight with his primary, then using The Degreasers faster weapon switch time to quickly hit the player with The Axtinguisher, gain a crit and dealing massive damage to them. The Axtinguisher was nerfed, however, and now only crits burning players from behind, and only mini-crits burning players from the front. In addition to this, it also deals -50% damage to non-burning players, which makes this weapon an almost useless choice for competitive play in comparison with the other melee options for Pyro.

[[File:PyroIcon.png|200px|right|link=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Pyro]]
The Pyro is the most defensive class in Highlander. The class's skillset allows them to diffuse large amounts of enemy aggression very quickly and easily, and as such they are generally entrusted with protecting the Combo or engineer nest along with the occasional spy-checking and deflecting spam through their Airblast. While the class' unique disruptive abilities are very powerful, the Pyro lacks both the mobility and range to be an effective combat class, and as such it is considered a '''Support''' class in Highlander.
==Gameplay==
The Pyro's unique abilities in the airblast allow it to float between sticking with his team's combo (usually composed of the Heavy, Medic, and Demoman) and supporting the flanking classes (usually composed of the Scout and Soldier, and occasionally the Engineer). Its abilities also allow it to push away Ubers and kill enemy spies fairly easily, making it an ideal partner for the Combo or Engineer. The Pyro excels at close range and can take out most classes in close proximity within few seconds. However, his lack of additional movement speed makes it difficult to hunt down targets safely. Some players opt a more offensive style of pyro, and will flank unsuspecting classes for quick, easy picks. This playstyle is known as the roaming pyro.

The Pyro's Airblast is its most interesting mechanic and forcibly repositions the enemy, extinguishes burning teammates, and re/deflects enemy projectiles (including, but not limited to, a Soldier's Rockets, Demomen's grenades and stickies, enemy Jarate and Mad Milk, and Crusader's Crossbow and Huntsman arrows). His afterburn, while a very weak mechanic, can finish off particularly weak enemies and trigger constant voice commands, making ambushing impossible for the duration of the burning.

===On Offense===
The Pyro is an invaluable asset on offense. His ability to deflect is important on team pushes as he can use it to disrupt enemy uber, reflect incoming projectiles off his team and eliminate enemy Spies attacking the Combo.
The Pyro, although important in pushes, does not make a good Medic buddy/Pocket due to his weapon's short range and overall manueverability. In some cases, using the ÜberCharge on the Pyro can be useful if attacking well-defended Sentry nests or if flanking on the enemy's position.

===On Defense===
The Pyro is most important on defense, again mostly because of his Airblast ability, as well as his ability to spycheck. When defending, the Pyro is usually near the Engineer and his Sentry nest, spychecking and airblasting incoming projectiles (Payload) or he is following the Combo and providing support.

== Unlockable weapons ==
=== Primary ===

==== The Degreaser ====

The Degreaser is the most widely used flame thrower in competitive play due to its 60% faster weapon switch time and damage debuffs that aren't very relevant. This allows the Pyro to swap between weapons almost instantly, thus allowing for more diversity in his play style when faced with differing situations during a match. The -25% damage penalty is a negligible downside to The Degreaser due to the fact that the Pyro is primarily a defensive class, and does not need the damage that other flame throwers provide for offensive purposes. It also matters less in that there are many, many ways to nullify afterburn, from inherent immunities, health regen and getting healed by a Medic or healthpack. Its fire particle damage is also nearly identical to the stock Flame Thrower, due to the way the game engine handles rounding. The Degreaser was popularized when the "Puff and Sting" combination was considered the strongest load out for the Pyro, which involved setting a target alight with the Degreaser, then using the faster weapon switch to take out the Axtinguisher, gaining the critical damage bonus from it. Nowadays, the Degreaser is most commonly paired with The Flare Gun, being able to gain the critical damage on a burning player that much easier, since the switch time on the Stock Flame Thrower is long enough for an afterburn immune enemy to stop being considered "on fire". The switch speed is also important for baiting out projectile reflects and getting to your melee weapon quickly, which can be crucial when running the Homewrecker.

==== The Flamethrower ====

While it is the base on which other Flame Throwers are built off of, the stock Flame Thrower doesn't provide the same level of utility that the Degreaser offers, and is thus seldomly used in competitive play. The Stock is not the worst weapon, and still allows the Pyro to perform his usual responsibilities, only impaired by a moment of switch time. The Stock can also encourage a more aggressive style of play from the Pyro due to the presumed increased damage compared to the Degreaser, but this is usually looked down upon in competitive play as this leaves the combo at severe risk of spam and enemy spies if left alone.

==== The Backburner ====

The Backburner is intended for flanking and scoring critical hits from behind. Unfortunately, competitively, Pyro is much more of a support class: protecting the Engineer and the combo and reflecting incoming projectiles. Thus, the Backburner has little to no use in competitive play, due to the fact that a flanking Pyro is simply a worse Spy, and also due to the fact that the Backburner's hefty airblast penalty is crippling to your team's defense.

==== The Phlogistinator ====

The Phlogistinator, while often looked at as a powerful public primary for the Pyro, is highly regarded as the worst flame thrower for competitive play. This is due almost entirely to the fact that it removes the Pyro's ability to airblast, and thus removing much of his utility such as being able to deflect spam and delay Übercharges. In exchange for this, he is granted 100% crit chance when using Mmmmph. A Pyro using The Phlogistinator is forced to play two considerably ineffective styles of play, the "W+M1" style which involves simply walking at the enemy while firing the weapon, which is looked down on by the majority of the competitive scene, or playing defensively with a Flare-based weapon, igniting enemies to build Mmmph from a distance, which relies on landing flares. The fact that the Phlogistinator's picking potential and effectiveness is heavily dependent on surprise (especially regarding the crits-mechanic), its sufficient usage is pretty much nullified by the aspect of communication, awareness and general calls given in a competitive enviroment.

=== Secondary ===

==== The Shotgun ====

The stock shotgun is a very commonly used weapon by competitive Pyros. It allows the user to quickly dispatch of revealed Spies and Scouts that may be attacking the combo, as well as providing a surprising amount of damage to bombing Soldiers and Demomen. It's downsides are considered to be negligible, being that it can only be used as a close range weapon and does not provide any long range damage, but due to the Pyro's defensive role, this is not always needed.

==== The Flare Gun ====

Another commonly used weapon by competitive Pyros. This weapon replaces The Shotgun with a single flare that, when hitting an enemy, will set them alight. In addtion to this, if The Flare Gun hits an enemy that is already on fire, it will crit. The Flare Gun is widely used in combination with The Degreaser to quickly take care of Scouts and Spies, as well as being able to pick off retreating Soldiers and Demomen that may have been set alight in defense of the combo by using The Degreaser's faster weapon switch time to quickly swap to The Flare Gun, hit a critical strike on the enemy that has been set alight, and swap back. It can also be used to contribute to spam, and also provides the Pyro with a long range damage option. The downside, however, is that it requires much more accurate aiming to be effective, and it takes players a much longer time to master than the Shotgun.

==== The Detonator ====

This weapon's use is extremely similar to the Flare Gun's, but what distinguishes it from the latter is its self-damage bonus. Experienced Pyros may choose this weapon over the Flare Gun so they can "flare jump", which gives Pyro much-needed mobility.

=== Melee ===

==== The Powerjack ====
One of the most commonly used melee weapons used in competitive Pyro play, The Powerjack grants the Pyro 15% movement speed while active, allowing him to quickly traverse the map, which can lend itself well to flanking enemies and moving to the action after a respawn. In addition to this, killing an enemy with The Powerjack will return 25HP to the Pyro, even over healing him if he happens to be over 150HP when scoring the kill. This can make the Pryo very resilient in sticky situations, but due to the Pyro's defensive nature, this will only be used in a pinch. The 20% melee damage while active may make melee fights with Spies and Scouts difficult, but an experienced Pyro will rarely put himself in this situation, and will only attack with The Powerjack to secure a kill on an injured opponent if his Flare Gun or Shotgun are not enough to finish the job.

==== The Homewrecker ====

Another commonly used melee for the Pyro, The Homewrecker deals 100% more damage to buildings - allowing Pyro to dispatch buildings such as mini-sentries and dispensers with ease. In addition to this, hitting a friendly building with The Homewrecker while it is sapped will destroy the sapper. This allows the Pyro to save the Engineer's sentry from Spies even after the Engineer has been killed. Overall, The Homewrecker acts as another asset for the support-oriented Pyro. The downside of -25% damage to players is negligible, as a Pyro will rarely be in a situation where they are forced to use their melee to defend themself.

==== The Axtinguisher ====

The Axtinguisher used to be one of the most commonly used melee weapons for Pyros, both in competitive and public play. It was used as part of the "Puff and sting" combination with The Degreaser, where the player sets an opponent alight with his primary, then using The Degreasers faster weapon switch time to quickly hit the player with The Axtinguisher, gain a crit and dealing massive damage to them. The Axtinguisher was nerfed, however, and now only crits burning players from behind, and only mini-crits burning players from the front. In addition to this, it also deals -50% damage to non-burning players, which makes this weapon an almost useless choice for competitive play in comparison with the other melee options for Pyro.

The -25% damage penalty is a negligible downside to The Degreaser due to the fact that the Pyro is primarily a defensive class, and does not need the damage that other flame throwers provide for offensive purposes. It also matters less in that there are many, many ways to nullify afterburn, from inherent immunities, health regen and getting healed by a Medic or healthpack. Its fire particle damage is also nearly identical to the stock Flame Thrower, due to the way the game engine handles rounding. The Degreaser was popularized when the "Puff and Sting" combination was considered the strongest load out for the Pyro, which involved setting a target alight with the Degreaser, then using the faster weapon switch to take out the Axtinguisher, gaining the critical damage bonus from it. Nowadays, the Degreaser is most commonly paired with The Flare Gun, being able to gain the critical damage on a burning player that much easier, since the switch time on the Stock Flame Thrower is long enough for an afterburn immune enemy to stop being considered "on fire". The switch speed is also important for baiting out projectile reflects and getting to your melee weapon quickly, which can be crucial when running the Homewrecker.

==== The Flamethrower ====

While it is the base on which other Flame Throwers are built off of, the stock Flame Thrower doesn't provide the same level of utility that the Degreaser offers, and is thus seldomly used in competitive play. The Stock is not the worst weapon, and still allows the Pyro to perform his usual responsibilities, only impaired by a moment of switch time. The Stock can also encourage a more aggressive style of play from the Pyro due to the presumed increased damage compared to the Degreaser, but this is usually looked down upon in competitive play as this leaves the combo at severe risk of spam and enemy spies if left alone.

==== The Phlogistinator ====

The Phlogistinator, while often looked at as a powerful public primary for the Pyro, is highly regarded as the worst flame thrower for competitive play. This is due almost entirely to the fact that it removes the Pyro's ability to airblast, and thus removing much of his utility such as being able to deflect spam and delay Übercharges. In exchange for this, he is granted 100% crit chance when using Mmmmph. A Pyro using The Phlogistinator is forced to play two considerably ineffective styles of play, the "W+M1" style which involves simply walking at the enemy while firing the weapon, which is looked down on by the majority of the competitive scene, or playing defensively with a Flare-based weapon, igniting enemies to build Mmmph from a distance, which relies on landing flares. The fact that the Phlogistinator's picking potential and effectiveness is heavily dependent on surprise (especially regarding the crits-mechanic), its sufficient usage is pretty much nullified by the aspect of communication, awareness and general calls given in a competitive enviroment.

=== Secondary ===

==== The Shotgun ====

The stock shotgun is a very commonly used weapon by competitive Pyros. It allows the user to quickly dispatch of revealed Spies and Scouts that may be attacking the combo, as well as providing a surprising amount of damage to bombing Soldiers and Demomen. It's downsides are considered to be negligible, being that it can only be used as a close range weapon and does not provide any long range damage, but due to the Pyro's defensive role, this is not always needed.

==== The Flare Gun ====

Another commonly used weapon by competitive Pyros. This weapon replaces The Shotgun with a single flare that, when hitting an enemy, will set them alight. In addtion to this, if The Flare Gun hits an enemy that is already on fire, it will crit. The Flare Gun is widely used in combination with The Degreaser to quickly take care of Scouts and Spies, as well as being able to pick off retreating Soldiers and Demomen that may have been set alight in defense of the combo by using The Degreaser's faster weapon switch time to quickly swap to The Flare Gun, hit a critical strike on the enemy that has been set alight, and swap back. It can also be used to contribute to spam, and also provides the Pyro with a long range damage option. The downside, however, is that it requires much more accurate aiming to be effective, and it takes players a much longer time to master than the Shotgun.

==== The Detonator ====

This weapon's use is extremely similar to the Flare Gun's, but what distinguishes it from the latter is its self-damage bonus. Experienced Pyros may choose this weapon over the Flare Gun so they can "flare jump", which gives Pyro much-needed mobility.

=== Melee ===

==== The Powerjack ====
One of the most commonly used melee weapons used in competitive Pyro play, The Powerjack grants the Pyro 15% movement speed while active, allowing him to quickly traverse the map, which can lend itself well to flanking enemies and moving to the action after a respawn. In addition to this, killing an enemy with The Powerjack will return 25HP to the Pyro, even over healing him if he happens to be over 150HP when scoring the kill. This can make the Pryo very resilient in sticky situations, but due to the Pyro's defensive nature, this will only be used in a pinch. The 20% melee damage while active may make melee fights with Spies and Scouts difficult, but an experienced Pyro will rarely put himself in this situation, and will only attack with The Powerjack to secure a kill on an injured opponent if his Flare Gun or Shotgun are not enough to finish the job.

==== The Homewrecker ====

Another commonly used melee for the Pyro, The Homewrecker, deals 100% more damage to buildings - allowing Pyro to dispatch buildings such as mini-sentries and dispensers with ease. In addition to this, hitting a friendly building with The Homewrecker while it is sapped will destroy the sapper. This allows the Pyro to save the Engineer's sentry from Spies even after the Engineer has been killed. Overall, The Homewrecker acts as another asset for the support-oriented Pyro. The downside of -25% damage to players is negligible, as a Pyro will rarely be in a situation where they are forced to use their melee to defend theirself.

==== The Axtinguisher ====

The Axtinguisher used to be one of the most commonly used melee weapons for Pyros, both in competitive and public play. It was used as part of the "Puff and sting" combination with The Degreaser, where the player sets an opponent alight with his primary, then using The Degreasers faster weapon switch time to quickly hit the player with The Axtinguisher, gain a crit and dealing massive damage to them. The Axtinguisher was nerfed, however, and now only crits burning players from behind, and only mini-crits burning players from the front. In addition to this, it also deals -50% damage to non-burning players, which makes this weapon an almost useless choice for competitive play in comparison with the other melee options for Pyro.

'''United Gaming Clans''' (UGC) was founded in 2002 as Team Fortress Classic (TFC) and Counter-Strike (CS) league. Currently they are the largest TF2 league in the world with over 10,000 unique players in the current season of their 9v9 ([[Highlander]]), [[6v6]] and [[4v4]] leagues.

==Divisions==
The UGC league separates teams into 5 distinct divisions. These divisions come in the order as follows: Iron, Steel, Silver, Gold, and the highest division; Platinum.

== Format ==
UGC runs three seasons a year in all TF2 formats. Seasons typically start in January, June and September. Each season is comprised of 8 regular season weeks and 5 playoff weeks. Teams are placed into skill divisions based on the combined experience on the roster. During the regular season, teams will play against opponents with a similar rank win/loss streak. For the playoffs, the Top 8 or Top 16 teams in a division are placed into a title bracket. Platinum and Gold divisions play in a Double Elimination bracket while Silver, Steel and Iron divisions play in a Single Elimination bracket. Grand Finals are played in a Best of 3 Maps format. Each team in the finals map can pick 1 of the 3 maps to be played from the season map pool. The tie breaker map is selected by Admins.

Regular season matches are played on single maps, in 2 halves. Depending on the game type, the win conditions differ:
* On [[5CP]] maps, the first half is played until the time limit runs out, or one team wins 4 rounds. The second half ends once the time limit runs out, or the other team wins 4 rounds or when one team has won their 5th cumulative round. In case of a tie after both halves, an overtime round is played, which is won by capturing all points once. If overtime is inconclusive, a "sudden death" round is played.
* On [[King of the Hill]] maps, the first half of the map ends only when one team wins 3 rounds. The second half ends if the other team wins 3 rounds or when one team wins their 4th cumulative round.
* [[Attack/Defend]] and [[Payload]] maps are played as best of 3 [[stopwatch]] rounds. Teams alternate between attacking and defending every round, and each team defends once in a half. The round is won by whichever team captures the most points the fastest.

=== Highlander ===
UGC's Highlander league is the largest of the 3 formats they play in TF2 with just over 8,000 unique players. There are five different regions for their Highlander league: North America (NA), Europe (EU), Asia, Australia/NZ (AUS/NZ) and South America (SA). There are also different skill-based divsions for the NA, EU and AUS/NZ leagues.

=== Divisions ===
In the order of the highest skill division to the lowest:

* '''Platinum''' - Top Tier. This division is for people considered to be at the top of their game. This division arguably requires the most time, dedication, coordination, and skill to compete in.
* '''Gold''' - 2nd Tier. This is for people who have a lot of competitive experience and a high skill level with a desire to get better at the game.
* '''Silver''' - 3rd Tier. This is for people who can list more than a couple seasons of experience and who are more committed to the upward path towards Gold/Platinum.
* '''Steel''' - 4th Tier. The first "skill tier." This is for people with a little competitive experience to people who have at a couple of seasons under their belt.
* '''Iron''' - 5th/Bottom Tier. Entry-level aimed at players with no prior competitive experience. Considered a "special case" division.

Pyro (Highlander)

2017-01-24T20:01:05Z

108.162.245.30:

{{stub}}
[[File:PyroIcon.png|200px|right|link=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Pyro]]
The Pyro is the most defensive class in Highlander. The class's skillset allows them to diffuse large amounts of enemy aggression very quickly and easily, and as such they are generally entrusted with protecting the Combo or engineer nest along with the occasional spy-checking and deflecting spam through their Airblast. While the class' unique disruptive abilities are very powerful, the Pyro lacks both the mobility and range to be an effective combat class, and as such it is considered a '''Support''' class in Highlander.
==Gameplay==
The Pyro's unique abilities in the airblast allow it to float between sticking with his team's combo (usually composed of the Heavy, Medic, and Demoman) and supporting the flanking classes (usually composed of the Scout and Soldier, and occasionally the Engineer). Its abilities also allow it to push away Ubers and kill enemy spies fairly easily, making it an ideal partner for the Combo or Engineer. The Pyro excels at close range and can take out most classes in close proximity within few seconds. However, his lack of additional movement speed makes it difficult to hunt down targets safely. Some players opt a more offensive style of pyro, and will flank unsuspecting classes for quick, easy picks. This playstyle is known as the roaming pyro.

The Pyro's Airblast is its most interesting mechanic and forcibly repositions the enemy, extinguishes burning teammates, and re/deflects enemy projectiles (including, but not limited to, a Soldier's Rockets, Demomen's grenades and stickies, enemy Jarate and Mad Milk, and Crusader's Crossbow and Huntsman arrows). His afterburn, while a very weak mechanic, can finish off particularly weak enemies and trigger constant voice commands, making ambushing impossible for the duration of the burning.

===On Offense===
The Pyro is an invaluable asset on offense. His ability to deflect is important on team pushes as he can use it to disrupt enemy uber, reflect incoming projectiles off his team and eliminate enemy Spies attacking the Combo.
The Pyro, although important in pushes, does not make a good Medic buddy/Pocket due to his weapon's short range and overall manueverability. In some cases, using the ÜberCharge on the Pyro can be useful if attacking well-defended Sentry nests or if flanking on the enemy's position.

===On Defense===
The Pyro is most important on defense, again mostly because of his Airblast ability, as well as his ability to spycheck. When defending, the Pyro is usually near the Engineer and his Sentry nest, spychecking and airblasting incoming projectiles (Payload) or he is following the Combo and providing support.

== Unlockable weapons ==
=== Primary ===

==== The Degreaser ====

The Degreaser is the most widely used flame thrower in competitive play due to its 60% faster weapon switch time and damage debuffs that aren't very relevant. This allows the Pyro to swap between weapons almost instantly, thus allowing for more diversity in his play style when faced with differing situations during a match. The -25% damage penalty is a negligible downside to The Degreaser due to the fact that the Pyro is primarily a defensive class, and does not need the damage that other flame throwers provide for offensive purposes. It also matters less in that there are many, many ways to nullify afterburn, from inherent immunities, health regen and getting healed by a Medic or healthpack. Its fire particle damage is also nearly identical to the stock Flame Thrower, due to the way the game engine handles rounding. The Degreaser was popularized when the "Puff and Sting" combination was considered the strongest load out for the Pyro, which involved setting a target alight with the Degreaser, then using the faster weapon switch to take out the Axtinguisher, gaining the critical damage bonus from it. Nowadays, the Degreaser is most commonly paired with The Flare Gun, being able to gain the critical damage on a burning player that much easier, since the switch time on the Stock Flame Thrower is long enough for an afterburn immune enemy to stop being considered "on fire". The switch speed is also important for baiting out projectile reflects and getting to your melee weapon quickly, which can be crucial when running the Homewrecker.

==== The Flamethrower ====

While it is the base on which other Flame Throwers are built off of, the stock Flame Thrower doesn't provide the same level of utility that the Degreaser offers, and is thus seldomly used in competitive play. The Stock is not the worst weapon, and still allows the Pyro to perform his usual responsibilities, only impaired by a moment of switch time. The Stock can also encourage a more aggressive style of play from the Pyro due to the presumed increased damage compared to the Degreaser, but this is usually looked down upon in competitive play as this leaves the combo at severe risk of spam and enemy spies if left alone.

==== The Phlogistinator ====

The Phlogistinator, while often looked at as a powerful public primary for the Pyro, is highly regarded as the worst flame thrower for competitive play. This is due almost entirely to the fact that it removes the Pyro's ability to airblast, and thus removing much of his utility such as being able to deflect spam and delay Übercharges. In exchange for this, he is granted 100% crit chance when using Mmmmph. A Pyro using The Phlogistinator is forced to play two considerably ineffective styles of play, the "W+M1" style which involves simply walking at the enemy while firing the weapon, which is looked down on by the majority of the competitive scene, or playing defensively with a Flare-based weapon, igniting enemies to build Mmmph from a distance, which relies on landing flares. The fact that the Phlogistinator's picking potential and effectiveness is heavily dependent on surprise (especially regarding the crits-mechanic), its sufficient usage is pretty much nullified by the aspect of communication, awareness and general calls given in a competitive enviroment.

=== Secondary ===

==== The Shotgun ====

The stock shotgun is a very commonly used weapon by competitive Pyros. It allows the user to quickly dispatch of revealed Spies and Scouts that may be attacking the combo, as well as providing a surprising amount of damage to bombing Soldiers and Demomen. It's downsides are considered to be negligible, being that it can only be used as a close range weapon and does not provide any long range damage, but due to the Pyro's defensive role, this is not always needed.

==== The Flare Gun ====

Another commonly used weapon by competitive Pyros. This weapon replaces The Shotgun with a single flare that, when hitting an enemy, will set them alight. In addtion to this, if The Flare Gun hits an enemy that is already on fire, it will crit. The Flare Gun is widely used in combination with The Degreaser to quickly take care of Scouts and Spies, as well as being able to pick off retreating Soldiers and Demomen that may have been set alight in defense of the combo by using The Degreaser's faster weapon switch time to quickly swap to The Flare Gun, hit a critical strike on the enemy that has been set alight, and swap back. It can also be used to contribute to spam, and also provides the Pyro with a long range damage option. The downside, however, is that it requires much more accurate aiming to be effective, and it takes players a much longer time to master than the Shotgun.

==== The Detonator ====

This weapon's use is extremely similar to the Flare Gun's, but what distinguishes it from the latter is its self-damage bonus. Experienced Pyros may choose this weapon over the Flare Gun so they can "flare jump", which gives Pyro much-needed mobility.

=== Melee ===

==== The Powerjack ====
One of the most commonly used melee weapons used in competitive Pyro play, The Powerjack grants the Pyro 15% movement speed while active, allowing him to quickly traverse the map, which can lend itself well to flanking enemies and moving to the action after a respawn. In addition to this, killing an enemy with The Powerjack will return 25HP to the Pyro, even over healing him if he happens to be over 150HP when scoring the kill. This can make the Pryo very resilient in sticky situations, but due to the Pyro's defensive nature, this will only be used in a pinch. The 20% melee damage while active may make melee fights with Spies and Scouts difficult, but an experienced Pyro will rarely put himself in this situation, and will only attack with The Powerjack to secure a kill on an injured opponent if his Flare Gun or Shotgun are not enough to finish the job.

==== The Homewrecker ====

Another commonly used melee for the Pyro, The Homewrecker, deals 100% more damage to buildings - making removing a sapper a breeze for the Pyro. In addition to this, hitting a friendly building with The Homewrecker while it is sapped will completely remove the sapper, this allowing the Pyro to protect the Engineer's sentry from Spies, thus providing a boost to the Pryo's supportive nature. The downside of -25% damage to players is considered negligible as a Pyro will rarely be in a situation where he has to use his melee against players.

==== The Axtinguisher ====

The Axtinguisher used to be one of the most commonly used melee weapons for Pyros, both in competitive and public play. It was used as part of the "Puff and sting" combination with The Degreaser, where the player sets an opponent alight with his primary, then using The Degreasers faster weapon switch time to quickly hit the player with The Axtinguisher, gain a crit and dealing massive damage to them. The Axtinguisher was nerfed, however, and now only crits burning players from behind, and only mini-crits burning players from the front. In addition to this, it also deals -50% damage to non-burning players, which makes this weapon an almost useless choice for competitive play in comparison with the other melee options for Pyro.

Heavy (Highlander)

2017-01-23T19:56:40Z

108.162.245.30: /* Melee weapons */

{{stub}}
[[File:HeavyIcon.png|200px|right|link=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Heavy]]
The '''Heavy''' is a key part of any Highlander team. As the class with the biggest health pool of all, the Heavy serves as the [[Medic (Highlander)|Medic]]'s primary defense and the team's damage sponge. He and the [[Demoman (Highlander)|Demoman]] stay close to the Medic at all times as part of the so-called combo.

==Gameplay==
The Heavy isn't considered a fragging class by itself; it is not the Heavy's purpose to spearhead attacks or pushes; he serves as a protector of the Medic and a detriment to any opponent who tries to get in his range of fire. As a deadly class in close quarters, the Heavy makes the best pocket candidate for a Medic - being able deny both ground classes and jumpers alike - and vice versa; the Heavy's slow movement speed and lack of mobility, which severely hamper the Heavy's dodging ability, causes the Medic to keep the healing beam on the Heavy for most of the time.

The Heavy's huge health pool allows him to absorb damage and block spam, but only to a certain degree. Ideally, a Heavy should not ever go below 300 HP, as his lack of mobility combined with enemy focus fire will take him down quickly at that point. Because of that, even though his potential damage output is very high, the Heavy should carefully pick his fights.

Positioning and game sense are the biggest assets in a Heavy, as the class itself is not particularly difficult.

==Unlockable weapons==
The Heavy has a few unlockable weapons that are considered useful in a Highlander environment.

===Primary weapons===
When it comes to primary weapons, the stock Minigun has been, throughout the history of competitive TF2, widely regarded as the optimal option, as other miniguns have considerable downsides that limit the Heavy's damage-dealing abilities. As of the Gun Mettle update, the Heavy has been given a much more versatile arsenal. The Tomislav has become, as a result, the weapon of choice for many Heavies throughout the ranks of Highlander due to its faster rev-up time and its negligible downsides. The Minigun is still as versatile as before, while the Natascha has also earned some situational usage for its ability to deny Scouts and other, very mobile, classes.

===Secondary weapons===
Almost all Highlander Heavies use the '''Sandvich''' at all times. A Sandvich dropped on the floor can serve as an emergency medium health pack for a hurt Medic.

===Melee weapons===
* '''Gloves of Running Urgently''' - In the past considered as the best melee weapon for the Heavy, but they have been since modified. Some people regard the fact that using the GRU makes the Heavy take mini-crit damage a serious downside, but the speed boost still comes useful for rolling out on [[5CP]] maps.
* '''Fists of Steel''' - The new alternative after the GRU's nerf. The Fists of Steel reduce the damage taken by the Heavy by non-melee weapons, and with that they also give him a getaway possibility. They do not however boost the Heavy's speed in any way, so it is advisable that on long maps the [[Soldier (Highlander)|Soldier]] should run the Disciplinary Action.
* '''Eviction Notice''' - For Heavies who dislike the GRU's punishing mini-crit downside, the Eviction Notice is often their go-to melee. Without the lingering effect of marked-for-death, the Eviction Notice provides a slightly safer alternative to the GRU.

'''froyotech''' is an [[ESEA-I (Invite)|ESEA-I]] team founded in [[ESEA-I Season 16|ESEA Season 16]], and is considered one of the best teams of all time. It had consisted of the core of the [[High Rollers Gaming|HRG]] team from Seasons [[ESEA-I Season 13|S13]] and [[ESEA-I Season 14|S14]] as well as iT from [[ESEA-I Season 15|S15]]. After their victory at [[Insomnia52|i52]], they were widely regarded as the best team in the world, especially due to their subsequent victories in [[ESEA-I Season 17]], ESEA-I Season 18 and Season 19. In August 2015, froyotech won the TF2 Tournament at [[Insomnia55|i55]] after a Grand Final match against [[nerdRage.tf2]], cementing a second victory in a row at the Insomnia Summer LAN. The team initially disbanded on Nov 24, 2015 due to players' loss of interest in the game as well as a Lower Bracket Final loss to [[TSU]]. froyotech later reformed with members from Strawberry Mangos and later [[clockwork]] rejoining the team. This version of the team won [[ESEA Season 21/Invite|Season 21]]; in their first season as a roster. Due to [[clockwork]] and [[ninjanick]]'s departure for Overwatch, [[Classic Mixup]]'s [[TLR]] and [[-bird noises-]]'s [[phorofor]] joined the roster in preparation for [[i58]], which would go on to win [[ESEA Season 22/Invite|Season 22]]. [[i58]] was the first time in froyotech's history that they failed to make the Grand Final at an Insomnia LAN event, finishing in 3rd place behind [[Full Tilt]] and [[Crowns eSports Club]].

'''froyotech''' is an [[ESEA-I (Invite)|ESEA-I]] team founded in [[ESEA-I Season 16|ESEA Season 16]], and is considered one of the best teams of all time. It had consisted of the core of the [[High Rollers Gaming|HRG]] team from Seasons [[ESEA-I Season 13|S13]] and [[ESEA-I Season 14|S14]] as well as iT from [[ESEA-I Season 15|S15]]. After their victory at [[Insomnia52|i52]], they were widely regarded as the best team in the world, especially due to their subsequent victories in [[ESEA-I Season 17]], ESEA-I Season 18 and Season 19. In August 2015, froyotech won the TF2 Tournament at [[Insomnia55|i55]] after a Grand Final match against [[nerdRage.tf2]], cementing a second victory in a row at the Insomnia Summer LAN. The team initially disbanded on Nov 24, 2015 due to players' loss of interest in the game as well as a Lower Bracket Final loss to [[TSU]]. froyotech later reformed with members from Strawberry Mangos and later [[clockwork]] rejoining the team. This version of the team won [[ESEA Season 21/Invite|Season 21]]; in their first season as a roster. Due to [[clockwork]] and [[ninjanick]]'s departure for Overwatch, [[Classic Mixup]]'s [[TLR]] and [[-bird noises-]]'s [[phorofor]] joined the roster in preparation for [[i58]], which would go on to win [[ESEA Season 22/Invite|Season 22]]. [[i58]] was the first time in froyotech's history that they failed to make the Grand Final at an Insomnia LAN event, finishing in 3rd place behind [[Full Tilt]] and [[Crowns eSports Club]].

'''Shrugger''' was a competitive TF2 player who most recently played for [[RONIN gg]] in [[ESEA Season 22/Invite|ESEA Invite Season 22]]. He is most known for playing [[Scout]] on various iterations of the [[RONIN gg]] roster from seasons 18 to 22, as well as attending and placing 3rd at Insomnia49 with High Rollers Gaming. He has attended 4 ESEA LANs. Shrugger announced his retirement from TF2 in a forum post, citing Overwatch as his reason for leaving.<ref>[http://www.teamfortress.tv/34929/official-froyotech-i58-fundraiser/?page=4#94]</ref>

==Biography==
Shrugger is the main character from the 2012 Disney Pixar film Brave. Shrugger was added to the Disney Princess line-up as the 11th Princess and the first Pixar character to receive the honor on May 11, 2013.[1] Shrugger is also the main character of the games Brave and Temple Run: Brave.

Princess Shrugger is the 16-year-old[3] daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor, who rule their Scottish kingdom. Queen Elinor's traditional expectations that Shrugger take a husband and become a proper royal lady come into conflict with the single-minded and impetuous Shrugger's insistence that he control her own destiny. Shrugger has greatly perfected his skill in Team Fortress 2, and is one of the least skilled scouts in the game. He is also incredibly skilled in spears, sword-fighting and racing across the countryside on Angus, her Clydesdale horse. Despite his outgoing, forceful personality, Shrugger does have a softness of heart, particularly when it comes to his younger triplet brothers, Harris, Hubert and Hamish. He is pampered but in no way spoiled, and even though he frequently argues with his mother, Shrugger does love his parents.

==TF2==

===Banned From eHarmony===

Shrugger's first ESEA team was Banned From eHarmony in Season 9 Open. The team did reasonably well, going 11-5 and 2-2 in playoffs. The roster moved up to IM for Season 10 but after a disappointing 5-11 season Shrugger left the team and moved on to Invite.

===Mihaly's Flow===

Shrugger's first season of Invite was S11, where played Scout for Mihaly's Flow alongside Ruwin. Mihaly's Flow made it to LAN as 1st seed but ended up finishing in 4th place.

===Pinball Wizards===

Shrugger played Scout for Pinball Wizards in Season 12 with squid as his Scout partner. The team did not perform well, going 3-13, last in invite (above Mighty Ducks who died halfway through the season).

===[[bp]]===

Shrugger was cherry-picked out of Pinball Wizards and picked up by bp in Season 13. bp ended the regular season with a perfect record. Before going to LAN, the team was picked up by a sponsor, High Rollers Gaming.

====High Rollers Gaming====

The newly sponsored team went on to place 1st overall in Season 13. Shrugger continued to play Scout for High Rollers Gaming in Season 14, in which they once again had a perfect season and placed 1st overall. After winning Season 14, Shrugger and High Rollers Gaming went to i49 in Telford, England with the community's donation of $11,000 USD. High Rollers Gaming placed 3rd at i49.

====iT====

The team was picked up by server community iT after i49. iT had a perfect regular season in Season 15, however they placed 2nd overall after a loss to Classic Mixup in the grand finals.

Big Titty '''"Cock"''' Transgender is a gay player currently playing [[Medic]] for [[Medic]]. He is well known for playing [[Demoman]] for the ESEA-I teams [[eMazing Gaming]], [[Leviathan Gaming]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]] as well as [[Scout]] for [[iT]]. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest Demomen ever, and is also a top Scout and Soldier main. His ability to play all classes in [[6v6]] at an [[ESEA-Invite]] level has led to him often being regarded as the best player in the world.

gr4nny is most known for his dominance of the competitive scene through his entire history, being an ESEA LAN champion for 9 out of his 13 seasons. In addition, his team [[froyotech]] is known as the previously undisputed TF2 world champions after their consecutive victories at [[i52]] and [[i55]].

==Biography==

b4nny grew up in Bellevue, Washington. Before he played TF2, he played competitive Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 in his middle school years. He was also interested in Unreal Tournament, which brought him closer to the arena-style FPS games, like Quake, that TF2 is based on. He has been playing TF2 since it was first released on the Orange Box, having pre-ordered the set in 2007.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea62tL7TSYg b4nny Interview by Tagg</ref>

==TF2==

===Slaughterhouse Gaming (BHS)===
b4nny started his TF2 career by playing with Slaughterhouse Gaming, a pub community's [[Open]] team. He played with them for 2 seasons, Season 3 and Season 4. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in all the matches. In Season 3, the team barely made Open playoffs (at the time, only 8 teams made the cut) and lost to first-seed Harmonic. In Season 4, the team fared better, ending up at 3rd place in Open playoffs, but it was not enough. The team disbanded shortly after.

===[[Don't Trip]]===
After Slaughterhouse Gaming, b4nny was picked up by his friend tyrone to form the first iteration of what would become one of the longest-living teams in ESEA-TF2 history, Don't Trip. The Season 5 roster was integral in establishing the core of b4nny, tyrone, and mackey that would make up a large part of Don't Trip throughout its 9-season history. Playing alongside now-long-time-friends such as blaze and the aforementioned tyrone and mackey, the team won Open in Season 5.

Afterwards, the team made the jump to Invite, and had to restructure the roster. Blaze and jnkx, the scout pair, left, and the young talent yz50 was brought in alongside raf. The medic, karenbear, left as well, and [[Shade]] was brought in, to help create the core of players that b4nny would play with for many seasons to come. The team got a sponsor and came into Invite under the banner of eMazing Gaming.

====[[eMazing Gaming]]====

b4nny's first foray into invite ended up with him making LAN, starting a longtime tradition of LAN appearances. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 record in Season 6 and ended up placing 4th at LAN, losing out to fourth-seeded blight.own, beginning a long-time rivalry with fellow LAN veteran [[Platinum]]. Despite placing fourth, he was invited to play with the ESEA-East TF2 All-Stars team that season. The team defeated the west team 5-0 with b4nny top-fragging for the team.

After Season 6, eMg made one more roster change. They cut scout raf for the next generation of Open champions in the form of [[Ggglygy]]
from Nexzil Gaming. Still under the eMg banner, the team marched on into Season 7 and finished third in the regular season, with a 12-4 record. b4nny's second-consecutive third seed at LAN gave him a chance to redeem himself and eMg won Season 7 LAN, defeating ComplexityTF2 5-1 on [[Granary]] and Coldfront.

The team made no changes for Season 8 but did not anticipate the perfect season of [[CheckSix Gaming]], again getting the third seed in the regular season, this time with a 9-7 record. b4nny's third consecutive LAN appearance ended in a 2-1 defeat in the finals at the hands of CheckSix.

====[[Prophets ft. Dashner]]====

In the offseason, the team made some changes, cutting ggglygy for [[cyzer]], yz50 for [[clockwork]], and replacing Shade with CB (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before LAN, the sponsorship was re-branded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Since CB could not make LAN that season, reptile stepped in as medic. Prophets once again won LAN, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] and starting what would become a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

====[[Quantic Gaming]]====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. CB returned to the team as medic after an absence at the previous season's LAN. Quantic finally broke the third seed tradition and captured the first seed for LAN off a 15-1 record, but lost at LAN to Classic Mixup. Shortly afterward,
Shade returned, allowing b4nny to reform the original core of the team that had won S7 LAN, and combine it with new players that helped foster the S9 win to create an incredibly strong team. Mackey had to leave for a season, however, so they brought in [[Dave__AC]] from the former CheckSix team to complete the roster. The team united under a new sponsor, Leviathan Gaming.

===[[Leviathan Gaming]]===

Season 11 repeated what had become a trope of b4nny's invite career at this point: finish third place regular season and go undefeated at LAN. Mihaly's Flow, the regular season leaders, were favorites at this LAN. But, their dropping two games to LG and [[Spacewhales]] gave LG the chance to take the trophy away, and that they did. The Leviathan Gaming team are noteworthy in that they were the first team (alongside Classic Mixup) to be sent to Europe as part of the i46 TF2 LAN. Because Dave__AC was not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the LAN-proven lineup. Both American teams shattered expectations and defeated the Europeans, leading to an all-American finals. However, LG ended up losing to Classic Mixup in the grand finals and finished second at i46.

Going back to America for Season 12, the roster saw one change in the leaving of clockwork, prompting the team to bring in hero to replace him, and the return of Dave__AC. This roster once again made LAN, finishing second place. Shortly afterwards, b4nny, shade, and cyzer all left LG to form a new super team: bp.

===[[bp]]===

bp formed out of the core that had kept Don't Trip at LAN for seven straight seasons: b4nny, shade, and relatively new blood cyzer. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, getting [[Taggerung]] from The Chess Club, [[Shrugger]] from Pinball Wizards, as well as [[lansky]] from GOIN HEAVY. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting their sponsorship for LAN.

====[[High Rollers Gaming]]====

Re-branded under the HRG tag, b4nny and crew took Season 13 LAN without much competition as well as Season 14, with HRG earning another perfect season and another LAN win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning Season 14, was given the American spot at [[i49]], and ended up finishing third after not being able to defeat the made-for-LAN [[Epsilon|Epsilon eSports]] and the [[TCM]] crew. Once again HRG re-branded under another TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====[[iT]]====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under numerous roster changes in the off-season. Shade, unable to commit, left, and was replaced by up and coming talent [[indust]] from AG. Tagg and Cyzer left as well, prompting b4nny to switch from Demoman to Scout and pick up xalox from the dead Solace eSports as Demo and rr from The Mad Men on roamer. The new roster once again went undefeated in the regular season, but in one of the greatest ESEA finals of all time, Classic Mixup managed to break their winning streak and recapture the trophy.

===[[froyotech]]===
==== Season 16-18 ====
With klanana leaving TF2, the iT sponsorship was lost. b4nny and shade (now returning) decided to rebrand under the team name froyotech, creating something of their own esports organization with a website and all. The team reunited several players b4nny had played with in the past, getting blaze from his Slaughterhouse days on roamer and clockwork from Prophets ft. Dashner, Quantic, and Leviathan on scout. They also pulled in dummy and ruwin on Demo and Pocket, respectively to begin the season. However, after Ruwin quit TF2, the scramble was on for a new pocket, and b4nny brought in old teammate lansky to replace him. Now looking like a reunion of bp/HRG/iT, the team went perfect in the regular season, but after a disappointing loss to Mixup in the TFTV Invitational, b4nny swapped with dummy and went back to his old main, Demoman. froyotech won Season 16, and with that win came another trip to Europe for i52. Dummy, finally getting a LAN championship and unable to commit to a European trip, left the team and was replaced by breakout Demoman [[duwatna]] from Street Hoops eSports. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly b4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports. The team made the voyage to Coventry, England to compete in i52 against the Europeans and Australians and did not drop a single map in the elimination bracket, becoming the best TF2 team in the world. froyotech finished 14-2 in Season 17 before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Furthermore, they would win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014, and [[ESEA-I Season 18]] in April of 2015 with a perfect 16-0 record.

==== Season 19 ====
The team continued into [[ESEA-I Season 19]], but not without heavy roster changes. Lansky, unable to commit to i55, was moved to backup, and several players were considered to take his spot. First, the team brought in serv0 of Rent-a-Homies, but after losing to Ascent on [[Sunshine]], the team felt that serv0 did not quite fit its playstyle. froyotech then picked up ash from Street Hoops eSports on Pocket, resulting in ash making his pocket debut after previously playing Roamer for Street Hoops. After losing to Ascent 2-0 in the upper bracket finals, yet another drastic roster change was made, this time moving b4nny to Pocket and ash to Scout. This proved to be the winning combination, as froyotech came from the lower bracket and beat Ascent in 2 Best-of-3s to win [[ESEA-I Season 19]].

==== Season 20 ====
The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in ESEA-I Season 20.

==== Season 21 ====
b4nny remade [[froyotech]] following these events for [[ESEA-I Season 21|Season 21 of ESEA Invite]] with the majority of teammates being pulled from the Invite team [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Freestate, a scout from Strawberry Mangos, became Medic, with [[Decimate]] filling his place as the new Scout alongside b4nny. The rest of Strawberry Mangoes stayed in their previous positions: paddie played Pocket, corsa played Roamer, and muma played Demoman.

At the start of Season 21, Decimate left the team to focus on school, and the Scout slot opened up. b4nny brought in old teammate clockwork on Scout to once again complete the powerful Scout duo of him and clockwork. Midway through Season 21, froyotech underwent further roster changes. The team replaced corsa with Paddie on Roamer. b4nny moved to Pocket once more, and Freestate switched back to his previous main, Scout. The team then brought in Ninjanick, a seasoned Invite veteran from Street Hoops eSports (then Team SoloUber), on Medic.

==== Season 22 ====
Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for OverWatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, b4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

==== i58 ====
At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession. They continued on to be matched against Crowns Esports in the Upper Bracket Finals, froyotech just narrowly lost 2-1 in maps against Crowns to be forced into the Consolation finals. They met Full Tilt there, who they had previously tied against in round one of group stages. Full tilt then proceeded to win one map, with froyotech striking back to take the second. The third map was a nail biter, each team taking one round after the other had done so. With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.

Grant '''"b4nny"''' Vincent is an American player currently playing [[Scout]] for [[froyotech]]. He is well known for playing [[Demoman]] for the ESEA-I teams [[eMazing Gaming]], [[Leviathan Gaming]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]] as well as [[Scout]] for [[iT]]. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest Demomen ever, and is also a top Scout and Soldier main. His ability to play all classes in [[6v6]] at an [[ESEA-Invite]] level has led to him often being regarded as the best player in the world.

b4nny is most known for his dominance of the competitive scene through his entire history, being an ESEA LAN champion for 9 out of his 13 seasons. In addition, his team [[froyotech]] is known as the previously undisputed TF2 world champions after their consecutive victories at [[i52]] and [[i55]].

==Biography==

b4nny grew up in Bellevue, Washington. Before he played TF2, he played competitive Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 in his middle school years. He was also interested in Unreal Tournament, which brought him closer to the arena-style FPS games, like Quake, that TF2 is based on. He has been playing TF2 since it was first released on the Orange Box, having pre-ordered the set in 2007.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea62tL7TSYg b4nny Interview by Tagg</ref>

==TF2==

===Slaughterhouse Gaming (BHS)===
b4nny started his TF2 career by playing with Slaughterhouse Gaming, a pub community's [[Open]] team. He played with them for 2 seasons, Season 3 and Season 4. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in all the matches. In Season 3, the team barely made Open playoffs (at the time, only 8 teams made the cut) and lost to first-seed Harmonic. In Season 4, the team fared better, ending up at 3rd place in Open playoffs, but it was not enough. The team disbanded shortly after.

===[[Don't Trip]]===
After Slaughterhouse Gaming, b4nny was picked up by his friend tyrone to form the first iteration of what would become one of the longest-living teams in ESEA-TF2 history, Don't Trip. The Season 5 roster was integral in establishing the core of b4nny, tyrone, and mackey that would make up a large part of Don't Trip throughout its 9-season history. Playing alongside now-long-time-friends such as blaze and the aforementioned tyrone and mackey, the team won Open in Season 5.

Afterwards, the team made the jump to Invite, and had to restructure the roster. Blaze and jnkx, the scout pair, left, and the young talent yz50 was brought in alongside raf. The medic, karenbear, left as well, and [[Shade]] was brought in, to help create the core of players that b4nny would play with for many seasons to come. The team got a sponsor and came into Invite under the banner of eMazing Gaming.

====[[eMazing Gaming]]====

b4nny's first foray into invite ended up with him making LAN, starting a longtime tradition of LAN appearances. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 record in Season 6 and ended up placing 4th at LAN, losing out to fourth-seeded blight.own, beginning a long-time rivalry with fellow LAN veteran [[Platinum]]. Despite placing fourth, he was invited to play with the ESEA-East TF2 All-Stars team that season. The team defeated the west team 5-0 with b4nny top-fragging for the team.

After Season 6, eMg made one more roster change. They cut scout raf for the next generation of Open champions in the form of [[Ggglygy]]
from Nexzil Gaming. Still under the eMg banner, the team marched on into Season 7 and finished third in the regular season, with a 12-4 record. b4nny's second-consecutive third seed at LAN gave him a chance to redeem himself and eMg won Season 7 LAN, defeating ComplexityTF2 5-1 on [[Granary]] and Coldfront.

The team made no changes for Season 8 but did not anticipate the perfect season of [[CheckSix Gaming]], again getting the third seed in the regular season, this time with a 9-7 record. b4nny's third consecutive LAN appearance ended in a 2-1 defeat in the finals at the hands of CheckSix.

====[[Prophets ft. Dashner]]====

In the offseason, the team made some changes, cutting ggglygy for [[cyzer]], yz50 for [[clockwork]], and replacing Shade with CB (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before LAN, the sponsorship was re-branded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Since CB could not make LAN that season, reptile stepped in as medic. Prophets once again won LAN, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] and starting what would become a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

====[[Quantic Gaming]]====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. CB returned to the team as medic after an absence at the previous season's LAN. Quantic finally broke the third seed tradition and captured the first seed for LAN off a 15-1 record, but lost at LAN to Classic Mixup. Shortly afterward,
Shade returned, allowing b4nny to reform the original core of the team that had won S7 LAN, and combine it with new players that helped foster the S9 win to create an incredibly strong team. Mackey had to leave for a season, however, so they brought in [[Dave__AC]] from the former CheckSix team to complete the roster. The team united under a new sponsor, Leviathan Gaming.

===[[Leviathan Gaming]]===

Season 11 repeated what had become a trope of b4nny's invite career at this point: finish third place regular season and go undefeated at LAN. Mihaly's Flow, the regular season leaders, were favorites at this LAN. But, their dropping two games to LG and [[Spacewhales]] gave LG the chance to take the trophy away, and that they did. The Leviathan Gaming team are noteworthy in that they were the first team (alongside Classic Mixup) to be sent to Europe as part of the i46 TF2 LAN. Because Dave__AC was not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the LAN-proven lineup. Both American teams shattered expectations and defeated the Europeans, leading to an all-American finals. However, LG ended up losing to Classic Mixup in the grand finals and finished second at i46.

Going back to America for Season 12, the roster saw one change in the leaving of clockwork, prompting the team to bring in hero to replace him, and the return of Dave__AC. This roster once again made LAN, finishing second place. Shortly afterwards, b4nny, shade, and cyzer all left LG to form a new super team: bp.

===[[bp]]===

bp formed out of the core that had kept Don't Trip at LAN for seven straight seasons: b4nny, shade, and relatively new blood cyzer. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, getting [[Taggerung]] from The Chess Club, [[Shrugger]] from Pinball Wizards, as well as [[lansky]] from GOIN HEAVY. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting their sponsorship for LAN.

====[[High Rollers Gaming]]====

Re-branded under the HRG tag, b4nny and crew took Season 13 LAN without much competition as well as Season 14, with HRG earning another perfect season and another LAN win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning Season 14, was given the American spot at [[i49]], and ended up finishing third after not being able to defeat the made-for-LAN [[Epsilon|Epsilon eSports]] and the [[TCM]] crew. Once again HRG re-branded under another TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====[[iT]]====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under numerous roster changes in the off-season. Shade, unable to commit, left, and was replaced by up and coming talent [[indust]] from AG. Tagg and Cyzer left as well, prompting b4nny to switch from Demoman to Scout and pick up xalox from the dead Solace eSports as Demo and rr from The Mad Men on roamer. The new roster once again went undefeated in the regular season, but in one of the greatest ESEA finals of all time, Classic Mixup managed to break their winning streak and recapture the trophy.

===[[froyotech]]===
==== Season 16-18 ====
With klanana leaving TF2, the iT sponsorship was lost. b4nny and shade (now returning) decided to rebrand under the team name froyotech, creating something of their own esports organization with a website and all. The team reunited several players b4nny had played with in the past, getting blaze from his Slaughterhouse days on roamer and clockwork from Prophets ft. Dashner, Quantic, and Leviathan on scout. They also pulled in dummy and ruwin on Demo and Pocket, respectively to begin the season. However, after Ruwin quit TF2, the scramble was on for a new pocket, and b4nny brought in old teammate lansky to replace him. Now looking like a reunion of bp/HRG/iT, the team went perfect in the regular season, but after a disappointing loss to Mixup in the TFTV Invitational, b4nny swapped with dummy and went back to his old main, Demoman. froyotech won Season 16, and with that win came another trip to Europe for i52. Dummy, finally getting a LAN championship and unable to commit to a European trip, left the team and was replaced by breakout Demoman [[duwatna]] from Street Hoops eSports. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly b4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports. The team made the voyage to Coventry, England to compete in i52 against the Europeans and Australians and did not drop a single map in the elimination bracket, becoming the best TF2 team in the world. froyotech finished 14-2 in Season 17 before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Furthermore, they would win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014, and [[ESEA-I Season 18]] in April of 2015 with a perfect 16-0 record.

==== Season 19 ====
The team continued into [[ESEA-I Season 19]], but not without heavy roster changes. Lansky, unable to commit to i55, was moved to backup, and several players were considered to take his spot. First, the team brought in serv0 of Rent-a-Homies, but after losing to Ascent on [[Sunshine]], the team felt that serv0 did not quite fit its playstyle. froyotech then picked up ash from Street Hoops eSports on Pocket, resulting in ash making his pocket debut after previously playing Roamer for Street Hoops. After losing to Ascent 2-0 in the upper bracket finals, yet another drastic roster change was made, this time moving b4nny to Pocket and ash to Scout. This proved to be the winning combination, as froyotech came from the lower bracket and beat Ascent in 2 Best-of-3s to win [[ESEA-I Season 19]].

==== Season 20 ====
The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in ESEA-I Season 20.

==== Season 21 ====
b4nny remade [[froyotech]] following these events for [[ESEA-I Season 21|Season 21 of ESEA Invite]] with the majority of teammates being pulled from the Invite team [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Freestate, a scout from Strawberry Mangos, became Medic, with [[Decimate]] filling his place as the new Scout alongside b4nny. The rest of Strawberry Mangoes stayed in their previous positions: paddie played Pocket, corsa played Roamer, and muma played Demoman.

At the start of Season 21, Decimate left the team to focus on school, and the Scout slot opened up. b4nny brought in old teammate clockwork on Scout to once again complete the powerful Scout duo of him and clockwork. Midway through Season 21, froyotech underwent further roster changes. The team replaced corsa with Paddie on Roamer. b4nny moved to Pocket once more, and Freestate switched back to his previous main, Scout. The team then brought in Ninjanick, a seasoned Invite veteran from Street Hoops eSports (then Team SoloUber), on Medic.

==== Season 22 ====
Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for OverWatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, b4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

==== i58 ====
At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession.

With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.

Shamalama Ding Dong '''"Habib"''' Terrorist is an Jewish player currently playing [[Demoman]] for [[Demoman]]. He is well known for playing [[Demoman]] for the ESEA-I teams [[eMazing Gaming]], [[Leviathan Gaming]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]] as well as [[Scout]] for [[iT]]. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest Demomen ever, and is also a top Scout and Soldier main. His ability to play all classes in [[6v6]] at an [[ESEA-Invite]] level has led to him often being regarded as the best player in the world.

gr4nny is most known for his dominance of the competitive scene through his entire history, being an ESEA LAN champion for 9 out of his 13 seasons. In addition, his team [[froyotech]] is known as the previously undisputed TF2 world champions after their consecutive victories at [[i52]] and [[i55]].

==Biography==

b4nny grew up in Bellevue, Washington. Before he played TF2, he played competitive Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 in his middle school years. He was also interested in Unreal Tournament, which brought him closer to the arena-style FPS games, like Quake, that TF2 is based on. He has been playing TF2 since it was first released on the Orange Box, having pre-ordered the set in 2007.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea62tL7TSYg b4nny Interview by Tagg</ref>

==TF2==

===Slaughterhouse Gaming (BHS)===
b4nny started his TF2 career by playing with Slaughterhouse Gaming, a pub community's [[Open]] team. He played with them for 2 seasons, Season 3 and Season 4. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in all the matches. In Season 3, the team barely made Open playoffs (at the time, only 8 teams made the cut) and lost to first-seed Harmonic. In Season 4, the team fared better, ending up at 3rd place in Open playoffs, but it was not enough. The team disbanded shortly after.

===[[Don't Trip]]===
After Slaughterhouse Gaming, b4nny was picked up by his friend tyrone to form the first iteration of what would become one of the longest-living teams in ESEA-TF2 history, Don't Trip. The Season 5 roster was integral in establishing the core of b4nny, tyrone, and mackey that would make up a large part of Don't Trip throughout its 9-season history. Playing alongside now-long-time-friends such as blaze and the aforementioned tyrone and mackey, the team won Open in Season 5.

Afterwards, the team made the jump to Invite, and had to restructure the roster. Blaze and jnkx, the scout pair, left, and the young talent yz50 was brought in alongside raf. The medic, karenbear, left as well, and [[Shade]] was brought in, to help create the core of players that b4nny would play with for many seasons to come. The team got a sponsor and came into Invite under the banner of eMazing Gaming.

====[[eMazing Gaming]]====

b4nny's first foray into invite ended up with him making LAN, starting a longtime tradition of LAN appearances. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 record in Season 6 and ended up placing 4th at LAN, losing out to fourth-seeded blight.own, beginning a long-time rivalry with fellow LAN veteran [[Platinum]]. Despite placing fourth, he was invited to play with the ESEA-East TF2 All-Stars team that season. The team defeated the west team 5-0 with b4nny top-fragging for the team.

After Season 6, eMg made one more roster change. They cut scout raf for the next generation of Open champions in the form of [[Ggglygy]]
from Nexzil Gaming. Still under the eMg banner, the team marched on into Season 7 and finished third in the regular season, with a 12-4 record. b4nny's second-consecutive third seed at LAN gave him a chance to redeem himself and eMg won Season 7 LAN, defeating ComplexityTF2 5-1 on [[Granary]] and Coldfront.

The team made no changes for Season 8 but did not anticipate the perfect season of [[CheckSix Gaming]], again getting the third seed in the regular season, this time with a 9-7 record. b4nny's third consecutive LAN appearance ended in a 2-1 defeat in the finals at the hands of CheckSix.

====[[Prophets ft. Dashner]]====

In the offseason, the team made some changes, cutting ggglygy for [[cyzer]], yz50 for [[clockwork]], and replacing Shade with CB (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before LAN, the sponsorship was re-branded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Since CB could not make LAN that season, reptile stepped in as medic. Prophets once again won LAN, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] and starting what would become a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

====[[Quantic Gaming]]====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. CB returned to the team as medic after an absence at the previous season's LAN. Quantic finally broke the third seed tradition and captured the first seed for LAN off a 15-1 record, but lost at LAN to Classic Mixup. Shortly afterward,
Shade returned, allowing b4nny to reform the original core of the team that had won S7 LAN, and combine it with new players that helped foster the S9 win to create an incredibly strong team. Mackey had to leave for a season, however, so they brought in [[Dave__AC]] from the former CheckSix team to complete the roster. The team united under a new sponsor, Leviathan Gaming.

===[[Leviathan Gaming]]===

Season 11 repeated what had become a trope of b4nny's invite career at this point: finish third place regular season and go undefeated at LAN. Mihaly's Flow, the regular season leaders, were favorites at this LAN. But, their dropping two games to LG and [[Spacewhales]] gave LG the chance to take the trophy away, and that they did. The Leviathan Gaming team are noteworthy in that they were the first team (alongside Classic Mixup) to be sent to Europe as part of the i46 TF2 LAN. Because Dave__AC was not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the LAN-proven lineup. Both American teams shattered expectations and defeated the Europeans, leading to an all-American finals. However, LG ended up losing to Classic Mixup in the grand finals and finished second at i46.

Going back to America for Season 12, the roster saw one change in the leaving of clockwork, prompting the team to bring in hero to replace him, and the return of Dave__AC. This roster once again made LAN, finishing second place. Shortly afterwards, b4nny, shade, and cyzer all left LG to form a new super team: bp.

===[[bp]]===

bp formed out of the core that had kept Don't Trip at LAN for seven straight seasons: b4nny, shade, and relatively new blood cyzer. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, getting [[Taggerung]] from The Chess Club, [[Shrugger]] from Pinball Wizards, as well as [[lansky]] from GOIN HEAVY. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting their sponsorship for LAN.

====[[High Rollers Gaming]]====

Re-branded under the HRG tag, b4nny and crew took Season 13 LAN without much competition as well as Season 14, with HRG earning another perfect season and another LAN win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning Season 14, was given the American spot at [[i49]], and ended up finishing third after not being able to defeat the made-for-LAN [[Epsilon|Epsilon eSports]] and the [[TCM]] crew. Once again HRG re-branded under another TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====[[iT]]====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under numerous roster changes in the off-season. Shade, unable to commit, left, and was replaced by up and coming talent [[indust]] from AG. Tagg and Cyzer left as well, prompting b4nny to switch from Demoman to Scout and pick up xalox from the dead Solace eSports as Demo and rr from The Mad Men on roamer. The new roster once again went undefeated in the regular season, but in one of the greatest ESEA finals of all time, Classic Mixup managed to break their winning streak and recapture the trophy.

===[[froyotech]]===
==== Season 16-18 ====
With klanana leaving TF2, the iT sponsorship was lost. b4nny and shade (now returning) decided to rebrand under the team name froyotech, creating something of their own esports organization with a website and all. The team reunited several players b4nny had played with in the past, getting blaze from his Slaughterhouse days on roamer and clockwork from Prophets ft. Dashner, Quantic, and Leviathan on scout. They also pulled in dummy and ruwin on Demo and Pocket, respectively to begin the season. However, after Ruwin quit TF2, the scramble was on for a new pocket, and b4nny brought in old teammate lansky to replace him. Now looking like a reunion of bp/HRG/iT, the team went perfect in the regular season, but after a disappointing loss to Mixup in the TFTV Invitational, b4nny swapped with dummy and went back to his old main, Demoman. froyotech won Season 16, and with that win came another trip to Europe for i52. Dummy, finally getting a LAN championship and unable to commit to a European trip, left the team and was replaced by breakout Demoman [[duwatna]] from Street Hoops eSports. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly b4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports. The team made the voyage to Coventry, England to compete in i52 against the Europeans and Australians and did not drop a single map in the elimination bracket, becoming the best TF2 team in the world. froyotech finished 14-2 in Season 17 before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Furthermore, they would win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014, and [[ESEA-I Season 18]] in April of 2015 with a perfect 16-0 record.

==== Season 19 ====
The team continued into [[ESEA-I Season 19]], but not without heavy roster changes. Lansky, unable to commit to i55, was moved to backup, and several players were considered to take his spot. First, the team brought in serv0 of Rent-a-Homies, but after losing to Ascent on [[Sunshine]], the team felt that serv0 did not quite fit its playstyle. froyotech then picked up ash from Street Hoops eSports on Pocket, resulting in ash making his pocket debut after previously playing Roamer for Street Hoops. After losing to Ascent 2-0 in the upper bracket finals, yet another drastic roster change was made, this time moving b4nny to Pocket and ash to Scout. This proved to be the winning combination, as froyotech came from the lower bracket and beat Ascent in 2 Best-of-3s to win [[ESEA-I Season 19]].

==== Season 20 ====
The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in ESEA-I Season 20.

==== Season 21 ====
b4nny remade [[froyotech]] following these events for [[ESEA-I Season 21|Season 21 of ESEA Invite]] with the majority of teammates being pulled from the Invite team [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Freestate, a scout from Strawberry Mangos, became Medic, with [[Decimate]] filling his place as the new Scout alongside b4nny. The rest of Strawberry Mangoes stayed in their previous positions: paddie played Pocket, corsa played Roamer, and muma played Demoman.

At the start of Season 21, Decimate left the team to focus on school, and the Scout slot opened up. b4nny brought in old teammate clockwork on Scout to once again complete the powerful Scout duo of him and clockwork. Midway through Season 21, froyotech underwent further roster changes. The team replaced corsa with Paddie on Roamer. b4nny moved to Pocket once more, and Freestate switched back to his previous main, Scout. The team then brought in Ninjanick, a seasoned Invite veteran from Street Hoops eSports (then Team SoloUber), on Medic.

==== Season 22 ====
Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for OverWatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, b4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

==== i58 ====
At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession. They continued on to be matched against Crowns Esports in the Upper Bracket Finals, froyotech just narrowly lost 2-1 in maps against Crowns to be forced into the Consolation finals. They met Full Tilt there, who they had previously tied against in round one of group stages. Full tilt then proceeded to win one map, with froyotech striking back to take the second. The third map was a nail biter, each team taking one round after the other had done so. With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.

==Trivia==
* During his long stint as a Demoman main, b4nny was often called "Pipe Jesus", as a result of his impeccable grenade launcher aim and his long curly hair at the time.
* b4nny uses "C" for his crouch key, a carryover from his time playing Call of Duty.
* clockwork worked at a frozen yogurt shop, and suggested the name "froyotech" for the new Season 16 Invite team. The name stuck.
* b4nny has placed in the Top 3 at five consecutive Insomnia LAN events. A feat accomplished by no other player in the history of TF2.

'''froyotech''' is an [[ESEA-I (Invite)|ESEA-I]] team founded in [[ESEA-I Season 16|ESEA Season 16]], and is considered one of the best teams of all time. It had consisted of the core of the [[High Rollers Gaming|HRG]] team from Seasons [[ESEA-I Season 13|S13]] and [[ESEA-I Season 14|S14]] as well as iT from [[ESEA-I Season 15|S15]]. After their victory at [[Insomnia52|i52]], they were widely regarded as the best team in the world, especially due to their subsequent victories in [[ESEA-I Season 17]], ESEA-I Season 18 and Season 19. In August 2015, froyotech won the TF2 Tournament at [[Insomnia55|i55]] after a Grand Final match against [[nerdRage.tf2]], cementing a second victory in a row at the Insomnia Summer LAN. The team initially disbanded on Nov 24, 2015 due to players' loss of interest in the game as well as a Lower Bracket Final loss to [[TSU]]. froyotech later reformed with members from Strawberry Mangos and later [[clockwork]] rejoining the team. This version of the team won [[ESEA Season 21/Invite|Season 21]]; in their first season as a roster. Due to [[clockwork]] and [[ninjanick]]'s departure for Overwatch, [[Classic Mixup]]'s [[TLR]] and [[-bird noises-]]'s [[phorofor]] joined the roster in preparation for [[i58]], which would go on to win [[ESEA Season 22/Invite|Season 22]]. [[i58]] was the first time in froyotech's history that they failed to make the Grand Final at an Insomnia LAN event, finishing in 3rd place behind [[Full Tilt]] and [[Crowns eSports Club]].

Shamalama Ding Dong '''"Habib"''' Terrorist is an Jewish player currently playing [[Demoman]] for [[Demoman]]. He is well known for playing [[Demoman]] for the ESEA-I teams [[eMazing Gaming]], [[Leviathan Gaming]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]] as well as [[Scout]] for [[iT]]. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest Demomen ever, and is also a top Scout and Soldier main. His ability to play all classes in [[6v6]] at an [[ESEA-Invite]] level has led to him often being regarded as the best player in the world.

gr4nny is most known for his dominance of the competitive scene through his entire history, being an ESEA LAN champion for 9 out of his 13 seasons. In addition, his team [[froyotech]] is known as the previously undisputed TF2 world champions after their consecutive victories at [[i52]] and [[i55]].

==Biography==

gr4nny grew up in Bellevue, Washington. Before he played TF2, he played competitive Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 in his middle school years. He was also interested in Unreal Tournament, which brought him closer to the arena-style FPS games, like Quake, that TF2 is based on. He has been playing TF2 since it was first released on the Orange Box, having pre-ordered the set in 2007.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea62tL7TSYg gr4nny Interview by Tagg</ref>

==TF2==

===Slaughterhouse Gaming (BHS)===
gr4nny started his TF2 career by playing with Slaughterhouse Gaming, a pub community's [[Open]] team. He played with them for 2 seasons, Season 3 and Season 4. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in all the matches. In Season 3, the team barely made Open playoffs (at the time, only 8 teams made the cut) and lost to first-seed Harmonic. In Season 4, the team fared better, ending up at 3rd place in Open playoffs, but it was not enough. The team disbanded shortly after.

===[[Don't Trip]]===
After Slaughterhouse Gaming, gr4nny was picked up by his friend tyrone to form the first iteration of what would become one of the longest-living teams in ESEA-TF2 history, Don't Trip. The Season 5 roster was integral in establishing the core of gr4nny, tyrone, and mackey that would make up a large part of Don't Trip throughout its 9-season history. Playing alongside now-long-time-friends such as blaze and the aforementioned tyrone and mackey, the team won Open in Season 5.

Afterwards, the team made the jump to Invite, and had to restructure the roster. Blaze and jnkx, the scout pair, left, and the young talent yz50 was brought in alongside raf. The medic, karenbear, left as well, and [[Shade]] was brought in, to help create the core of players that gr4nny would play with for many seasons to come. The team got a sponsor and came into Invite under the banner of eMazing Gaming.

====[[eMazing Gaming]]====

gr4nny's first foray into invite ended up with him making LAN, starting a longtime tradition of LAN appearances. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 record in Season 6 and ended up placing 4th at LAN, losing out to fourth-seeded blight.own, beginning a long-time rivalry with fellow LAN veteran [[Platinum]]. Despite placing fourth, he was invited to play with the ESEA-East TF2 All-Stars team that season. The team defeated the west team 5-0 with gr4nny top-fragging for the team.

After Season 6, eMg made one more roster change. They cut scout raf for the next generation of Open champions in the form of [[Ggglygy]]
from Nexzil Gaming. Still under the eMg banner, the team marched on into Season 7 and finished third in the regular season, with a 12-4 record. gr4nny's second-consecutive third seed at LAN gave him a chance to redeem himself and eMg won Season 7 LAN, defeating ComplexityTF2 5-1 on [[Granary]] and Coldfront.

The team made no changes for Season 8 but did not anticipate the perfect season of [[CheckSix Gaming]], again getting the third seed in the regular season, this time with a 9-7 record. gr4nny's third consecutive LAN appearance ended in a 2-1 defeat in the finals at the hands of CheckSix.

====[[Prophets ft. Dashner]]====

In the offseason, the team made some changes, cutting ggglygy for [[cyzer]], yz50 for [[clockwork]], and replacing Shade with CB (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before LAN, the sponsorship was re-branded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Since CB could not make LAN that season, reptile stepped in as medic. Prophets once again won LAN, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] and starting what would become a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

====[[Quantic Gaming]]====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. CB returned to the team as medic after an absence at the previous season's LAN. Quantic finally broke the third seed tradition and captured the first seed for LAN off a 15-1 record, but lost at LAN to Classic Mixup. Shortly afterward,
Shade returned, allowing gr4nny to reform the original core of the team that had won S7 LAN, and combine it with new players that helped foster the S9 win to create an incredibly strong team. Mackey had to leave for a season, however, so they brought in [[Dave__AC]] from the former CheckSix team to complete the roster. The team united under a new sponsor, Leviathan Gaming.

===[[Leviathan Gaming]]===

Season 11 repeated what had become a trope of gr4nny's invite career at this point: finish third place regular season and go undefeated at LAN. Mihaly's Flow, the regular season leaders, were favorites at this LAN. But, their dropping two games to LG and [[Spacewhales]] gave LG the chance to take the trophy away, and that they did. The Leviathan Gaming team are noteworthy in that they were the first team (alongside Classic Mixup) to be sent to Europe as part of the i46 TF2 LAN. Because Dave__AC was not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the LAN-proven lineup. Both American teams shattered expectations and defeated the Europeans, leading to an all-American finals. However, LG ended up losing to Classic Mixup in the grand finals and finished second at i46.

Going back to America for Season 12, the roster saw one change in the leaving of clockwork, prompting the team to bring in hero to replace him, and the return of Dave__AC. This roster once again made LAN, finishing second place. Shortly afterwards, gr4nny, shade, and cyzer all left LG to form a new super team: bp.

===[[bp]]===

bp formed out of the core that had kept Don't Trip at LAN for seven straight seasons: gr4nny, shade, and relatively new blood cyzer. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, getting [[Taggerung]] from The Chess Club, [[Shrugger]] from Pinball Wizards, as well as [[lansky]] from GOIN HEAVY. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting their sponsorship for LAN.

====[[High Rollers Gaming]]====

Re-branded under the HRG tag, gr4nny and crew took Season 13 LAN without much competition as well as Season 14, with HRG earning another perfect season and another LAN win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning Season 14, was given the American spot at [[i49]], and ended up finishing third after not being able to defeat the made-for-LAN [[Epsilon|Epsilon eSports]] and the [[TCM]] crew. Once again HRG re-branded under another TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====[[iT]]====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under numerous roster changes in the off-season. Shade, unable to commit, left, and was replaced by up and coming talent [[indust]] from AG. Tagg and Cyzer left as well, prompting gr4nny to switch from Demoman to Scout and pick up xalox from the dead Solace eSports as Demo and rr from The Mad Men on roamer. The new roster once again went undefeated in the regular season, but in one of the greatest ESEA finals of all time, Classic Mixup managed to break their winning streak and recapture the trophy.

===[[froyotech]]===
==== Season 16-18 ====
With klanana leaving TF2, the iT sponsorship was lost. gr4nny and shade (now returning) decided to rebrand under the team name froyotech, creating something of their own esports organization with a website and all. The team reunited several players gr4nny had played with in the past, getting blaze from his Slaughterhouse days on roamer and clockwork from Prophets ft. Dashner, Quantic, and Leviathan on scout. They also pulled in dummy and ruwin on Demo and Pocket, respectively to begin the season. However, after Ruwin quit TF2, the scramble was on for a new pocket, and gr4nny brought in old teammate lansky to replace him. Now looking like a reunion of bp/HRG/iT, the team went perfect in the regular season, but after a disappointing loss to Mixup in the TFTV Invitational, gr4nny swapped with dummy and went back to his old main, Demoman. froyotech won Season 16, and with that win came another trip to Europe for i52. Dummy, finally getting a LAN championship and unable to commit to a European trip, left the team and was replaced by breakout Demoman [[duwatna]] from Street Hoops eSports. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly gr4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports. The team made the voyage to Coventry, England to compete in i52 against the Europeans and Australians and did not drop a single map in the elimination bracket, becoming the best TF2 team in the world. froyotech finished 14-2 in Season 17 before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Furthermore, they would win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014, and [[ESEA-I Season 18]] in April of 2015 with a perfect 16-0 record.

==== Season 19 ====
The team continued into [[ESEA-I Season 19]], but not without heavy roster changes. Lansky, unable to commit to i55, was moved to backup, and several players were considered to take his spot. First, the team brought in serv0 of Rent-a-Homies, but after losing to Ascent on [[Sunshine]], the team felt that serv0 did not quite fit its playstyle. froyotech then picked up ash from Street Hoops eSports on Pocket, resulting in ash making his pocket debut after previously playing Roamer for Street Hoops. After losing to Ascent 2-0 in the upper bracket finals, yet another drastic roster change was made, this time moving gr4nny to Pocket and ash to Scout. This proved to be the winning combination, as froyotech came from the lower bracket and beat Ascent in 2 Best-of-3s to win [[ESEA-I Season 19]].

==== Season 20 ====
The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in ESEA-I Season 20.

==== Season 21 ====
gr4nny remade [[froyotech]] following these events for [[ESEA-I Season 21|Season 21 of ESEA Invite]] with the majority of teammates being pulled from the Invite team [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Freestate, a scout from Strawberry Mangos, became Medic, with [[Decimate]] filling his place as the new Scout alongside gr4nny. The rest of Strawberry Mangoes stayed in their previous positions: paddie played Pocket, corsa played Roamer, and muma played Demoman.

At the start of Season 21, Decimate left the team to focus on school, and the Scout slot opened up. gr4nny brought in old teammate clockwork on Scout to once again complete the powerful Scout duo of him and clockwork. Midway through Season 21, froyotech underwent further roster changes. The team replaced corsa with Paddie on Roamer. gr4nny moved to Pocket once more, and Freestate switched back to his previous main, Scout. The team then brought in Ninjanick, a seasoned Invite veteran from Street Hoops eSports (then Team SoloUber), on Medic.

==== Season 22 ====
Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for OverWatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, gr4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

==== i58 ====
At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession. They continued on to be matched against Crowns Esports in the Upper Bracket Finals, froyotech just narrowly lost 2-1 in maps against Crowns to be forced into the Consolation finals. They met Full Tilt there, who they had previously tied against in round one of group stages. Full tilt then proceeded to win one map, with froyotech striking back to take the second. The third map was a nail biter, each team taking one round after the other had done so. With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.

* clockwork worked at a frozen yogurt shop, and suggested the name "froyotech" for the new Season 16 Invite team. The name stuck.

Bant '''"gr4nny"''' Vincent is an American player currently playing [[Scout]] for [[froyotech]]. He is well known for playing [[Demoman]] for the ESEA-I teams [[eMazing Gaming]], [[Leviathan Gaming]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]] as well as [[Scout]] for [[iT]]. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest Demomen ever, and is also a top Scout and Soldier main. His ability to play all classes in [[6v6]] at an [[ESEA-Invite]] level has led to him often being regarded as the best player in the world.

gr4nny is most known for his dominance of the competitive scene through his entire history, being an ESEA LAN champion for 9 out of his 13 seasons. In addition, his team [[froyotech]] is known as the previously undisputed TF2 world champions after their consecutive victories at [[i52]] and [[i55]].

==Biography==

gr4nny grew up in Bellevue, Washington. Before he played TF2, he played competitive Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 in his middle school years. He was also interested in Unreal Tournament, which brought him closer to the arena-style FPS games, like Quake, that TF2 is based on. He has been playing TF2 since it was first released on the Orange Box, having pre-ordered the set in 2007.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea62tL7TSYg gr4nny Interview by Tagg</ref>

==TF2==

===Slaughterhouse Gaming (BHS)===
gr4nny started his TF2 career by playing with Slaughterhouse Gaming, a pub community's [[Open]] team. He played with them for 2 seasons, Season 3 and Season 4. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in all the matches. In Season 3, the team barely made Open playoffs (at the time, only 8 teams made the cut) and lost to first-seed Harmonic. In Season 4, the team fared better, ending up at 3rd place in Open playoffs, but it was not enough. The team disbanded shortly after.

===[[Don't Trip]]===
After Slaughterhouse Gaming, gr4nny was picked up by his friend tyrone to form the first iteration of what would become one of the longest-living teams in ESEA-TF2 history, Don't Trip. The Season 5 roster was integral in establishing the core of gr4nny, tyrone, and mackey that would make up a large part of Don't Trip throughout its 9-season history. Playing alongside now-long-time-friends such as blaze and the aforementioned tyrone and mackey, the team won Open in Season 5.

Afterwards, the team made the jump to Invite, and had to restructure the roster. Blaze and jnkx, the scout pair, left, and the young talent yz50 was brought in alongside raf. The medic, karenbear, left as well, and [[Shade]] was brought in, to help create the core of players that gr4nny would play with for many seasons to come. The team got a sponsor and came into Invite under the banner of eMazing Gaming.

====[[eMazing Gaming]]====

gr4nny's first foray into invite ended up with him making LAN, starting a longtime tradition of LAN appearances. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 record in Season 6 and ended up placing 4th at LAN, losing out to fourth-seeded blight.own, beginning a long-time rivalry with fellow LAN veteran [[Platinum]]. Despite placing fourth, he was invited to play with the ESEA-East TF2 All-Stars team that season. The team defeated the west team 5-0 with gr4nny top-fragging for the team.

After Season 6, eMg made one more roster change. They cut scout raf for the next generation of Open champions in the form of [[Ggglygy]]
from Nexzil Gaming. Still under the eMg banner, the team marched on into Season 7 and finished third in the regular season, with a 12-4 record. gr4nny's second-consecutive third seed at LAN gave him a chance to redeem himself and eMg won Season 7 LAN, defeating ComplexityTF2 5-1 on [[Granary]] and Coldfront.

The team made no changes for Season 8 but did not anticipate the perfect season of [[CheckSix Gaming]], again getting the third seed in the regular season, this time with a 9-7 record. gr4nny's third consecutive LAN appearance ended in a 2-1 defeat in the finals at the hands of CheckSix.

====[[Prophets ft. Dashner]]====

In the offseason, the team made some changes, cutting ggglygy for [[cyzer]], yz50 for [[clockwork]], and replacing Shade with CB (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before LAN, the sponsorship was re-branded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Since CB could not make LAN that season, reptile stepped in as medic. Prophets once again won LAN, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] and starting what would become a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

====[[Quantic Gaming]]====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. CB returned to the team as medic after an absence at the previous season's LAN. Quantic finally broke the third seed tradition and captured the first seed for LAN off a 15-1 record, but lost at LAN to Classic Mixup. Shortly afterward,
Shade returned, allowing gr4nny to reform the original core of the team that had won S7 LAN, and combine it with new players that helped foster the S9 win to create an incredibly strong team. Mackey had to leave for a season, however, so they brought in [[Dave__AC]] from the former CheckSix team to complete the roster. The team united under a new sponsor, Leviathan Gaming.

===[[Leviathan Gaming]]===

Season 11 repeated what had become a trope of gr4nny's invite career at this point: finish third place regular season and go undefeated at LAN. Mihaly's Flow, the regular season leaders, were favorites at this LAN. But, their dropping two games to LG and [[Spacewhales]] gave LG the chance to take the trophy away, and that they did. The Leviathan Gaming team are noteworthy in that they were the first team (alongside Classic Mixup) to be sent to Europe as part of the i46 TF2 LAN. Because Dave__AC was not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the LAN-proven lineup. Both American teams shattered expectations and defeated the Europeans, leading to an all-American finals. However, LG ended up losing to Classic Mixup in the grand finals and finished second at i46.

Going back to America for Season 12, the roster saw one change in the leaving of clockwork, prompting the team to bring in hero to replace him, and the return of Dave__AC. This roster once again made LAN, finishing second place. Shortly afterwards, gr4nny, shade, and cyzer all left LG to form a new super team: bp.

===[[bp]]===

bp formed out of the core that had kept Don't Trip at LAN for seven straight seasons: gr4nny, shade, and relatively new blood cyzer. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, getting [[Taggerung]] from The Chess Club, [[Shrugger]] from Pinball Wizards, as well as [[lansky]] from GOIN HEAVY. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting their sponsorship for LAN.

====[[High Rollers Gaming]]====

Re-branded under the HRG tag, gr4nny and crew took Season 13 LAN without much competition as well as Season 14, with HRG earning another perfect season and another LAN win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning Season 14, was given the American spot at [[i49]], and ended up finishing third after not being able to defeat the made-for-LAN [[Epsilon|Epsilon eSports]] and the [[TCM]] crew. Once again HRG re-branded under another TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====[[iT]]====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under numerous roster changes in the off-season. Shade, unable to commit, left, and was replaced by up and coming talent [[indust]] from AG. Tagg and Cyzer left as well, prompting gr4nny to switch from Demoman to Scout and pick up xalox from the dead Solace eSports as Demo and rr from The Mad Men on roamer. The new roster once again went undefeated in the regular season, but in one of the greatest ESEA finals of all time, Classic Mixup managed to break their winning streak and recapture the trophy.

===[[froyotech]]===
==== Season 16-18 ====
With klanana leaving TF2, the iT sponsorship was lost. gr4nny and shade (now returning) decided to rebrand under the team name froyotech, creating something of their own esports organization with a website and all. The team reunited several players gr4nny had played with in the past, getting blaze from his Slaughterhouse days on roamer and clockwork from Prophets ft. Dashner, Quantic, and Leviathan on scout. They also pulled in dummy and ruwin on Demo and Pocket, respectively to begin the season. However, after Ruwin quit TF2, the scramble was on for a new pocket, and gr4nny brought in old teammate lansky to replace him. Now looking like a reunion of bp/HRG/iT, the team went perfect in the regular season, but after a disappointing loss to Mixup in the TFTV Invitational, gr4nny swapped with dummy and went back to his old main, Demoman. froyotech won Season 16, and with that win came another trip to Europe for i52. Dummy, finally getting a LAN championship and unable to commit to a European trip, left the team and was replaced by breakout Demoman [[duwatna]] from Street Hoops eSports. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly gr4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports. The team made the voyage to Coventry, England to compete in i52 against the Europeans and Australians and did not drop a single map in the elimination bracket, becoming the best TF2 team in the world. froyotech finished 14-2 in Season 17 before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Furthermore, they would win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014, and [[ESEA-I Season 18]] in April of 2015 with a perfect 16-0 record.

==== Season 19 ====
The team continued into [[ESEA-I Season 19]], but not without heavy roster changes. Lansky, unable to commit to i55, was moved to backup, and several players were considered to take his spot. First, the team brought in serv0 of Rent-a-Homies, but after losing to Ascent on [[Sunshine]], the team felt that serv0 did not quite fit its playstyle. froyotech then picked up ash from Street Hoops eSports on Pocket, resulting in ash making his pocket debut after previously playing Roamer for Street Hoops. After losing to Ascent 2-0 in the upper bracket finals, yet another drastic roster change was made, this time moving gr4nny to Pocket and ash to Scout. This proved to be the winning combination, as froyotech came from the lower bracket and beat Ascent in 2 Best-of-3s to win [[ESEA-I Season 19]].

==== Season 20 ====
The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in ESEA-I Season 20.

==== Season 21 ====
gr4nny remade [[froyotech]] following these events for [[ESEA-I Season 21|Season 21 of ESEA Invite]] with the majority of teammates being pulled from the Invite team [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Freestate, a scout from Strawberry Mangos, became Medic, with [[Decimate]] filling his place as the new Scout alongside gr4nny. The rest of Strawberry Mangoes stayed in their previous positions: paddie played Pocket, corsa played Roamer, and muma played Demoman.

At the start of Season 21, Decimate left the team to focus on school, and the Scout slot opened up. gr4nny brought in old teammate clockwork on Scout to once again complete the powerful Scout duo of him and clockwork. Midway through Season 21, froyotech underwent further roster changes. The team replaced corsa with Paddie on Roamer. gr4nny moved to Pocket once more, and Freestate switched back to his previous main, Scout. The team then brought in Ninjanick, a seasoned Invite veteran from Street Hoops eSports (then Team SoloUber), on Medic.

==== Season 22 ====
Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for OverWatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, gr4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

==== i58 ====
At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession. They continued on to be matched against Crowns Esports in the Upper Bracket Finals, froyotech just narrowly lost 2-1 in maps against Crowns to be forced into the Consolation finals. They met Full Tilt there, who they had previously tied against in round one of group stages. Full tilt then proceeded to win one map, with froyotech striking back to take the second. The third map was a nail biter, each team taking one round after the other had done so. With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.

Shamalama Ding Dong '''"Habib"''' Terrorist is an Jewish player currently playing [[Demoman]] for [[Demoman]]. He is well known for playing [[Demoman]] for the ESEA-I teams [[eMazing Gaming]], [[Leviathan Gaming]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]] as well as [[Scout]] for [[iT]]. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest Demomen ever, and is also a top Scout and Soldier main. His ability to play all classes in [[6v6]] at an [[ESEA-Invite]] level has led to him often being regarded as the best player in the world.

gr4nny is most known for his dominance of the competitive scene through his entire history, being an ESEA LAN champion for 9 out of his 13 seasons. In addition, his team [[froyotech]] is known as the previously undisputed TF2 world champions after their consecutive victories at [[i52]] and [[i55]].

==Biography==

gr4nny grew up in Bellevue, Washington. Before he played TF2, he played competitive Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 in his middle school years. He was also interested in Unreal Tournament, which brought him closer to the arena-style FPS games, like Quake, that TF2 is based on. He has been playing TF2 since it was first released on the Orange Box, having pre-ordered the set in 2007.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea62tL7TSYg gr4nny Interview by Tagg</ref>

==TF2==

===Slaughterhouse Gaming (BHS)===
gr4nny started his TF2 career by playing with Slaughterhouse Gaming, a pub community's [[Open]] team. He played with them for 2 seasons, Season 3 and Season 4. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in all the matches. In Season 3, the team barely made Open playoffs (at the time, only 8 teams made the cut) and lost to first-seed Harmonic. In Season 4, the team fared better, ending up at 3rd place in Open playoffs, but it was not enough. The team disbanded shortly after.

===[[Don't Trip]]===
After Slaughterhouse Gaming, gr4nny was picked up by his friend tyrone to form the first iteration of what would become one of the longest-living teams in ESEA-TF2 history, Don't Trip. The Season 5 roster was integral in establishing the core of gr4nny, tyrone, and mackey that would make up a large part of Don't Trip throughout its 9-season history. Playing alongside now-long-time-friends such as blaze and the aforementioned tyrone and mackey, the team won Open in Season 5.

Afterwards, the team made the jump to Invite, and had to restructure the roster. Blaze and jnkx, the scout pair, left, and the young talent yz50 was brought in alongside raf. The medic, karenbear, left as well, and [[Shade]] was brought in, to help create the core of players that gr4nny would play with for many seasons to come. The team got a sponsor and came into Invite under the banner of eMazing Gaming.

====[[eMazing Gaming]]====

gr4nny's first foray into invite ended up with him making LAN, starting a longtime tradition of LAN appearances. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 record in Season 6 and ended up placing 4th at LAN, losing out to fourth-seeded blight.own, beginning a long-time rivalry with fellow LAN veteran [[Platinum]]. Despite placing fourth, he was invited to play with the ESEA-East TF2 All-Stars team that season. The team defeated the west team 5-0 with gr4nny top-fragging for the team.

After Season 6, eMg made one more roster change. They cut scout raf for the next generation of Open champions in the form of [[Ggglygy]]
from Nexzil Gaming. Still under the eMg banner, the team marched on into Season 7 and finished third in the regular season, with a 12-4 record. gr4nny's second-consecutive third seed at LAN gave him a chance to redeem himself and eMg won Season 7 LAN, defeating ComplexityTF2 5-1 on [[Granary]] and Coldfront.

The team made no changes for Season 8 but did not anticipate the perfect season of [[CheckSix Gaming]], again getting the third seed in the regular season, this time with a 9-7 record. gr4nny's third consecutive LAN appearance ended in a 2-1 defeat in the finals at the hands of CheckSix.

====[[Prophets ft. Dashner]]====

In the offseason, the team made some changes, cutting ggglygy for [[cyzer]], yz50 for [[clockwork]], and replacing Shade with CB (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before LAN, the sponsorship was re-branded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Since CB could not make LAN that season, reptile stepped in as medic. Prophets once again won LAN, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] and starting what would become a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

====[[Quantic Gaming]]====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. CB returned to the team as medic after an absence at the previous season's LAN. Quantic finally broke the third seed tradition and captured the first seed for LAN off a 15-1 record, but lost at LAN to Classic Mixup. Shortly afterward,
Shade returned, allowing gr4nny to reform the original core of the team that had won S7 LAN, and combine it with new players that helped foster the S9 win to create an incredibly strong team. Mackey had to leave for a season, however, so they brought in [[Dave__AC]] from the former CheckSix team to complete the roster. The team united under a new sponsor, Leviathan Gaming.

===[[Leviathan Gaming]]===

Season 11 repeated what had become a trope of gr4nny's invite career at this point: finish third place regular season and go undefeated at LAN. Mihaly's Flow, the regular season leaders, were favorites at this LAN. But, their dropping two games to LG and [[Spacewhales]] gave LG the chance to take the trophy away, and that they did. The Leviathan Gaming team are noteworthy in that they were the first team (alongside Classic Mixup) to be sent to Europe as part of the i46 TF2 LAN. Because Dave__AC was not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the LAN-proven lineup. Both American teams shattered expectations and defeated the Europeans, leading to an all-American finals. However, LG ended up losing to Classic Mixup in the grand finals and finished second at i46.

Going back to America for Season 12, the roster saw one change in the leaving of clockwork, prompting the team to bring in hero to replace him, and the return of Dave__AC. This roster once again made LAN, finishing second place. Shortly afterwards, gr4nny, shade, and cyzer all left LG to form a new super team: bp.

===[[bp]]===

bp formed out of the core that had kept Don't Trip at LAN for seven straight seasons: gr4nny, shade, and relatively new blood cyzer. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, getting [[Taggerung]] from The Chess Club, [[Shrugger]] from Pinball Wizards, as well as [[lansky]] from GOIN HEAVY. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting their sponsorship for LAN.

====[[High Rollers Gaming]]====

Re-branded under the HRG tag, gr4nny and crew took Season 13 LAN without much competition as well as Season 14, with HRG earning another perfect season and another LAN win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning Season 14, was given the American spot at [[i49]], and ended up finishing third after not being able to defeat the made-for-LAN [[Epsilon|Epsilon eSports]] and the [[TCM]] crew. Once again HRG re-branded under another TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====[[iT]]====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under numerous roster changes in the off-season. Shade, unable to commit, left, and was replaced by up and coming talent [[indust]] from AG. Tagg and Cyzer left as well, prompting gr4nny to switch from Demoman to Scout and pick up xalox from the dead Solace eSports as Demo and rr from The Mad Men on roamer. The new roster once again went undefeated in the regular season, but in one of the greatest ESEA finals of all time, Classic Mixup managed to break their winning streak and recapture the trophy.

===[[froyotech]]===
==== Season 16-18 ====
With klanana leaving TF2, the iT sponsorship was lost. gr4nny and shade (now returning) decided to rebrand under the team name froyotech, creating something of their own esports organization with a website and all. The team reunited several players gr4nny had played with in the past, getting blaze from his Slaughterhouse days on roamer and clockwork from Prophets ft. Dashner, Quantic, and Leviathan on scout. They also pulled in dummy and ruwin on Demo and Pocket, respectively to begin the season. However, after Ruwin quit TF2, the scramble was on for a new pocket, and gr4nny brought in old teammate lansky to replace him. Now looking like a reunion of bp/HRG/iT, the team went perfect in the regular season, but after a disappointing loss to Mixup in the TFTV Invitational, gr4nny swapped with dummy and went back to his old main, Demoman. froyotech won Season 16, and with that win came another trip to Europe for i52. Dummy, finally getting a LAN championship and unable to commit to a European trip, left the team and was replaced by breakout Demoman [[duwatna]] from Street Hoops eSports. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly gr4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports. The team made the voyage to Coventry, England to compete in i52 against the Europeans and Australians and did not drop a single map in the elimination bracket, becoming the best TF2 team in the world. froyotech finished 14-2 in Season 17 before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Furthermore, they would win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014, and [[ESEA-I Season 18]] in April of 2015 with a perfect 16-0 record.

==== Season 19 ====
The team continued into [[ESEA-I Season 19]], but not without heavy roster changes. Lansky, unable to commit to i55, was moved to backup, and several players were considered to take his spot. First, the team brought in serv0 of Rent-a-Homies, but after losing to Ascent on [[Sunshine]], the team felt that serv0 did not quite fit its playstyle. froyotech then picked up ash from Street Hoops eSports on Pocket, resulting in ash making his pocket debut after previously playing Roamer for Street Hoops. After losing to Ascent 2-0 in the upper bracket finals, yet another drastic roster change was made, this time moving gr4nny to Pocket and ash to Scout. This proved to be the winning combination, as froyotech came from the lower bracket and beat Ascent in 2 Best-of-3s to win [[ESEA-I Season 19]].

==== Season 20 ====
The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in ESEA-I Season 20.

==== Season 21 ====
gr4nny remade [[froyotech]] following these events for [[ESEA-I Season 21|Season 21 of ESEA Invite]] with the majority of teammates being pulled from the Invite team [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Freestate, a scout from Strawberry Mangos, became Medic, with [[Decimate]] filling his place as the new Scout alongside gr4nny. The rest of Strawberry Mangoes stayed in their previous positions: paddie played Pocket, corsa played Roamer, and muma played Demoman.

At the start of Season 21, Decimate left the team to focus on school, and the Scout slot opened up. gr4nny brought in old teammate clockwork on Scout to once again complete the powerful Scout duo of him and clockwork. Midway through Season 21, froyotech underwent further roster changes. The team replaced corsa with Paddie on Roamer. gr4nny moved to Pocket once more, and Freestate switched back to his previous main, Scout. The team then brought in Ninjanick, a seasoned Invite veteran from Street Hoops eSports (then Team SoloUber), on Medic.

==== Season 22 ====
Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for OverWatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, gr4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

==== i58 ====
At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession. They continued on to be matched against Crowns Esports in the Upper Bracket Finals, froyotech just narrowly lost 2-1 in maps against Crowns to be forced into the Consolation finals. They met Full Tilt there, who they had previously tied against in round one of group stages. Full tilt then proceeded to win one map, with froyotech striking back to take the second. The third map was a nail biter, each team taking one round after the other had done so. With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.

Grunt '''"i hate idiots"''' Vincent is an American player currently playing [[Scout]] for [[froyotech]]. He is well known for playing [[Demoman]] for the ESEA-I teams [[eMazing Gaming]], [[Leviathan Gaming]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]] as well as [[Scout]] for [[iT]]. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest Demomen ever, and is also a top Scout and Soldier main. His ability to play all classes in [[6v6]] at an [[ESEA-Invite]] level has led to him often being regarded as the best player in the world.

gr4nny is most known for his dominance of the competitive scene through his entire history, being an ESEA LAN champion for 9 out of his 13 seasons. In addition, his team [[froyotech]] is known as the previously undisputed TF2 world champions after their consecutive victories at [[i52]] and [[i55]].

==Biography==

gr4nny grew up in Bellevue, Washington. Before he played TF2, he played competitive Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 in his middle school years. He was also interested in Unreal Tournament, which brought him closer to the arena-style FPS games, like Quake, that TF2 is based on. He has been playing TF2 since it was first released on the Orange Box, having pre-ordered the set in 2007.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea62tL7TSYg gr4nny Interview by Tagg</ref>

==TF2==

===Slaughterhouse Gaming (BHS)===
gr4nny started his TF2 career by playing with Slaughterhouse Gaming, a pub community's [[Open]] team. He played with them for 2 seasons, Season 3 and Season 4. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in all the matches. In Season 3, the team barely made Open playoffs (at the time, only 8 teams made the cut) and lost to first-seed Harmonic. In Season 4, the team fared better, ending up at 3rd place in Open playoffs, but it was not enough. The team disbanded shortly after.

===[[Don't Trip]]===
After Slaughterhouse Gaming, gr4nny was picked up by his friend tyrone to form the first iteration of what would become one of the longest-living teams in ESEA-TF2 history, Don't Trip. The Season 5 roster was integral in establishing the core of gr4nny, tyrone, and mackey that would make up a large part of Don't Trip throughout its 9-season history. Playing alongside now-long-time-friends such as blaze and the aforementioned tyrone and mackey, the team won Open in Season 5.

Afterwards, the team made the jump to Invite, and had to restructure the roster. Blaze and jnkx, the scout pair, left, and the young talent yz50 was brought in alongside raf. The medic, karenbear, left as well, and [[Shade]] was brought in, to help create the core of players that gr4nny would play with for many seasons to come. The team got a sponsor and came into Invite under the banner of eMazing Gaming.

====[[eMazing Gaming]]====

gr4nny's first foray into invite ended up with him making LAN, starting a longtime tradition of LAN appearances. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 record in Season 6 and ended up placing 4th at LAN, losing out to fourth-seeded blight.own, beginning a long-time rivalry with fellow LAN veteran [[Platinum]]. Despite placing fourth, he was invited to play with the ESEA-East TF2 All-Stars team that season. The team defeated the west team 5-0 with gr4nny top-fragging for the team.

After Season 6, eMg made one more roster change. They cut scout raf for the next generation of Open champions in the form of [[Ggglygy]]
from Nexzil Gaming. Still under the eMg banner, the team marched on into Season 7 and finished third in the regular season, with a 12-4 record. gr4nny's second-consecutive third seed at LAN gave him a chance to redeem himself and eMg won Season 7 LAN, defeating ComplexityTF2 5-1 on [[Granary]] and Coldfront.

The team made no changes for Season 8 but did not anticipate the perfect season of [[CheckSix Gaming]], again getting the third seed in the regular season, this time with a 9-7 record. gr4nny's third consecutive LAN appearance ended in a 2-1 defeat in the finals at the hands of CheckSix.

====[[Prophets ft. Dashner]]====

In the offseason, the team made some changes, cutting ggglygy for [[cyzer]], yz50 for [[clockwork]], and replacing Shade with CB (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before LAN, the sponsorship was re-branded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Since CB could not make LAN that season, reptile stepped in as medic. Prophets once again won LAN, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] and starting what would become a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

====[[Quantic Gaming]]====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. CB returned to the team as medic after an absence at the previous season's LAN. Quantic finally broke the third seed tradition and captured the first seed for LAN off a 15-1 record, but lost at LAN to Classic Mixup. Shortly afterward,
Shade returned, allowing gr4nny to reform the original core of the team that had won S7 LAN, and combine it with new players that helped foster the S9 win to create an incredibly strong team. Mackey had to leave for a season, however, so they brought in [[Dave__AC]] from the former CheckSix team to complete the roster. The team united under a new sponsor, Leviathan Gaming.

===[[Leviathan Gaming]]===

Season 11 repeated what had become a trope of gr4nny's invite career at this point: finish third place regular season and go undefeated at LAN. Mihaly's Flow, the regular season leaders, were favorites at this LAN. But, their dropping two games to LG and [[Spacewhales]] gave LG the chance to take the trophy away, and that they did. The Leviathan Gaming team are noteworthy in that they were the first team (alongside Classic Mixup) to be sent to Europe as part of the i46 TF2 LAN. Because Dave__AC was not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the LAN-proven lineup. Both American teams shattered expectations and defeated the Europeans, leading to an all-American finals. However, LG ended up losing to Classic Mixup in the grand finals and finished second at i46.

Going back to America for Season 12, the roster saw one change in the leaving of clockwork, prompting the team to bring in hero to replace him, and the return of Dave__AC. This roster once again made LAN, finishing second place. Shortly afterwards, gr4nny, shade, and cyzer all left LG to form a new super team: bp.

===[[bp]]===

bp formed out of the core that had kept Don't Trip at LAN for seven straight seasons: gr4nny, shade, and relatively new blood cyzer. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, getting [[Taggerung]] from The Chess Club, [[Shrugger]] from Pinball Wizards, as well as [[lansky]] from GOIN HEAVY. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting their sponsorship for LAN.

====[[High Rollers Gaming]]====

Re-branded under the HRG tag, gr4nny and crew took Season 13 LAN without much competition as well as Season 14, with HRG earning another perfect season and another LAN win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning Season 14, was given the American spot at [[i49]], and ended up finishing third after not being able to defeat the made-for-LAN [[Epsilon|Epsilon eSports]] and the [[TCM]] crew. Once again HRG re-branded under another TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====[[iT]]====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under numerous roster changes in the off-season. Shade, unable to commit, left, and was replaced by up and coming talent [[indust]] from AG. Tagg and Cyzer left as well, prompting gr4nny to switch from Demoman to Scout and pick up xalox from the dead Solace eSports as Demo and rr from The Mad Men on roamer. The new roster once again went undefeated in the regular season, but in one of the greatest ESEA finals of all time, Classic Mixup managed to break their winning streak and recapture the trophy.

===[[froyotech]]===
==== Season 16-18 ====
With klanana leaving TF2, the iT sponsorship was lost. gr4nny and shade (now returning) decided to rebrand under the team name froyotech, creating something of their own esports organization with a website and all. The team reunited several players gr4nny had played with in the past, getting blaze from his Slaughterhouse days on roamer and clockwork from Prophets ft. Dashner, Quantic, and Leviathan on scout. They also pulled in dummy and ruwin on Demo and Pocket, respectively to begin the season. However, after Ruwin quit TF2, the scramble was on for a new pocket, and gr4nny brought in old teammate lansky to replace him. Now looking like a reunion of bp/HRG/iT, the team went perfect in the regular season, but after a disappointing loss to Mixup in the TFTV Invitational, gr4nny swapped with dummy and went back to his old main, Demoman. froyotech won Season 16, and with that win came another trip to Europe for i52. Dummy, finally getting a LAN championship and unable to commit to a European trip, left the team and was replaced by breakout Demoman [[duwatna]] from Street Hoops eSports. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly gr4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports. The team made the voyage to Coventry, England to compete in i52 against the Europeans and Australians and did not drop a single map in the elimination bracket, becoming the best TF2 team in the world. froyotech finished 14-2 in Season 17 before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Furthermore, they would win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014, and [[ESEA-I Season 18]] in April of 2015 with a perfect 16-0 record.

==== Season 19 ====
The team continued into [[ESEA-I Season 19]], but not without heavy roster changes. Lansky, unable to commit to i55, was moved to backup, and several players were considered to take his spot. First, the team brought in serv0 of Rent-a-Homies, but after losing to Ascent on [[Sunshine]], the team felt that serv0 did not quite fit its playstyle. froyotech then picked up ash from Street Hoops eSports on Pocket, resulting in ash making his pocket debut after previously playing Roamer for Street Hoops. After losing to Ascent 2-0 in the upper bracket finals, yet another drastic roster change was made, this time moving gr4nny to Pocket and ash to Scout. This proved to be the winning combination, as froyotech came from the lower bracket and beat Ascent in 2 Best-of-3s to win [[ESEA-I Season 19]].

==== Season 20 ====
The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in ESEA-I Season 20.

==== Season 21 ====
gr4nny remade [[froyotech]] following these events for [[ESEA-I Season 21|Season 21 of ESEA Invite]] with the majority of teammates being pulled from the Invite team [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Freestate, a scout from Strawberry Mangos, became Medic, with [[Decimate]] filling his place as the new Scout alongside gr4nny. The rest of Strawberry Mangoes stayed in their previous positions: paddie played Pocket, corsa played Roamer, and muma played Demoman.

At the start of Season 21, Decimate left the team to focus on school, and the Scout slot opened up. gr4nny brought in old teammate clockwork on Scout to once again complete the powerful Scout duo of him and clockwork. Midway through Season 21, froyotech underwent further roster changes. The team replaced corsa with Paddie on Roamer. gr4nny moved to Pocket once more, and Freestate switched back to his previous main, Scout. The team then brought in Ninjanick, a seasoned Invite veteran from Street Hoops eSports (then Team SoloUber), on Medic.

==== Season 22 ====
Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for OverWatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, gr4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

==== i58 ====
At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession. They continued on to be matched against Crowns Esports in the Upper Bracket Finals, froyotech just narrowly lost 2-1 in maps against Crowns to be forced into the Consolation finals. They met Full Tilt there, who they had previously tied against in round one of group stages. Full tilt then proceeded to win one map, with froyotech striking back to take the second. The third map was a nail biter, each team taking one round after the other had done so. With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.

* gr4nny uses "C" for his crouch key, a carryover from his time playing Call of Duty.
* clockwork worked at a frozen yogurt shop, and suggested the name "froyotech" for the new Season 16 Invite team. The name stuck.

Bant '''"gr4nny"''' Vincent is an American player currently playing [[Scout]] for [[froyotech]]. He is well known for playing [[Demoman]] for the ESEA-I teams [[eMazing Gaming]], [[Leviathan Gaming]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]] as well as [[Scout]] for [[iT]]. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest Demomen ever, and is also a top Scout and Soldier main. His ability to play all classes in [[6v6]] at an [[ESEA-Invite]] level has led to him often being regarded as the best player in the world.

gr4nny is most known for his dominance of the competitive scene through his entire history, being an ESEA LAN champion for 9 out of his 13 seasons. In addition, his team [[froyotech]] is known as the previously undisputed TF2 world champions after their consecutive victories at [[i52]] and [[i55]].

==Biography==

gr4nny grew up in Bellevue, Washington. Before he played TF2, he played competitive Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 in his middle school years. He was also interested in Unreal Tournament, which brought him closer to the arena-style FPS games, like Quake, that TF2 is based on.

==TF2==

===Slaughterhouse Gaming (BHS)===
gr4nny started his TF2 career by playing with Slaughterhouse Gaming, a pub community's [[Open]] team. He played with them for 2 seasons, Season 3 and Season 4. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in all the matches. In Season 3, the team barely made Open playoffs (at the time, only 8 teams made the cut) and lost to first-seed Harmonic. In Season 4, the team fared better, ending up at 3rd place in Open playoffs, but it was not enough. The team disbanded shortly after.

===[[Don't Trip]]===
After Slaughterhouse Gaming, gr4nny was picked up by his friend tyrone to form the first iteration of what would become one of the longest-living teams in ESEA-TF2 history, Don't Trip. The Season 5 roster was integral in establishing the core of gr4nny, tyrone, and mackey that would make up a large part of Don't Trip throughout its 9-season history. Playing alongside now-long-time-friends such as blaze and the aforementioned tyrone and mackey, the team won Open in Season 5.

Afterwards, the team made the jump to Invite, and had to restructure the roster. Blaze and jnkx, the scout pair, left, and the young talent yz50 was brought in alongside raf. The medic, karenbear, left as well, and [[Shade]] was brought in, to help create the core of players that gr4nny would play with for many seasons to come. The team got a sponsor and came into Invite under the banner of eMazing Gaming.

====[[eMazing Gaming]]====

gr4nny's first foray into invite ended up with him making LAN, starting a longtime tradition of LAN appearances. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 record in Season 6 and ended up placing 4th at LAN, losing out to fourth-seeded blight.own, beginning a long-time rivalry with fellow LAN veteran [[Platinum]]. Despite placing fourth, he was invited to play with the ESEA-East TF2 All-Stars team that season. The team defeated the west team 5-0 with gr4nny top-fragging for the team.

After Season 6, eMg made one more roster change. They cut scout raf for the next generation of Open champions in the form of [[Ggglygy]]
from Nexzil Gaming. Still under the eMg banner, the team marched on into Season 7 and finished third in the regular season, with a 12-4 record. gr4nny's second-consecutive third seed at LAN gave him a chance to redeem himself and eMg won Season 7 LAN, defeating ComplexityTF2 5-1 on [[Granary]] and Coldfront.

The team made no changes for Season 8 but did not anticipate the perfect season of [[CheckSix Gaming]], again getting the third seed in the regular season, this time with a 9-7 record. gr4nny's third consecutive LAN appearance ended in a 2-1 defeat in the finals at the hands of CheckSix.

====[[Prophets ft. Dashner]]====

In the offseason, the team made some changes, cutting ggglygy for [[cyzer]], yz50 for [[clockwork]], and replacing Shade with CB (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before LAN, the sponsorship was re-branded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Since CB could not make LAN that season, reptile stepped in as medic. Prophets once again won LAN, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] and starting what would become a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

====[[Quantic Gaming]]====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. CB returned to the team as medic after an absence at the previous season's LAN. Quantic finally broke the third seed tradition and captured the first seed for LAN off a 15-1 record, but lost at LAN to Classic Mixup. Shortly afterward,
Shade returned, allowing gr4nny to reform the original core of the team that had won S7 LAN, and combine it with new players that helped foster the S9 win to create an incredibly strong team. Mackey had to leave for a season, however, so they brought in [[Dave__AC]] from the former CheckSix team to complete the roster. The team united under a new sponsor, Leviathan Gaming.

===[[Leviathan Gaming]]===

Season 11 repeated what had become a trope of gr4nny's invite career at this point: finish third place regular season and go undefeated at LAN. Mihaly's Flow, the regular season leaders, were favorites at this LAN. But, their dropping two games to LG and [[Spacewhales]] gave LG the chance to take the trophy away, and that they did. The Leviathan Gaming team are noteworthy in that they were the first team (alongside Classic Mixup) to be sent to Europe as part of the i46 TF2 LAN. Because Dave__AC was not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the LAN-proven lineup. Both American teams shattered expectations and defeated the Europeans, leading to an all-American finals. However, LG ended up losing to Classic Mixup in the grand finals and finished second at i46.

Going back to America for Season 12, the roster saw one change in the leaving of clockwork, prompting the team to bring in hero to replace him, and the return of Dave__AC. This roster once again made LAN, finishing second place. Shortly afterwards, gr4nny, shade, and cyzer all left LG to form a new super team: bp.

===[[bp]]===

bp formed out of the core that had kept Don't Trip at LAN for seven straight seasons: gr4nny, shade, and relatively new blood cyzer. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, getting [[Taggerung]] from The Chess Club, [[Shrugger]] from Pinball Wizards, as well as [[lansky]] from GOIN HEAVY. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting their sponsorship for LAN.

====[[High Rollers Gaming]]====

Re-branded under the HRG tag, gr4nny and crew took Season 13 LAN without much competition as well as Season 14, with HRG earning another perfect season and another LAN win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning Season 14, was given the American spot at [[i49]], and ended up finishing third after not being able to defeat the made-for-LAN [[Epsilon|Epsilon eSports]] and the [[TCM]] crew. Once again HRG re-branded under another TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====[[iT]]====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under numerous roster changes in the off-season. Shade, unable to commit, left, and was replaced by up and coming talent [[indust]] from AG. Tagg and Cyzer left as well, prompting gr4nny to switch from Demoman to Scout and pick up xalox from the dead Solace eSports as Demo and rr from The Mad Men on roamer. The new roster once again went undefeated in the regular season, but in one of the greatest ESEA finals of all time, Classic Mixup managed to break their winning streak and recapture the trophy.

===[[froyotech]]===
==== Season 16-18 ====
With klanana leaving TF2, the iT sponsorship was lost. gr4nny and shade (now returning) decided to rebrand under the team name froyotech, creating something of their own esports organization with a website and all. The team reunited several players gr4nny had played with in the past, getting blaze from his Slaughterhouse days on roamer and clockwork from Prophets ft. Dashner, Quantic, and Leviathan on scout. They also pulled in dummy and ruwin on Demo and Pocket, respectively to begin the season. However, after Ruwin quit TF2, the scramble was on for a new pocket, and gr4nny brought in old teammate lansky to replace him. Now looking like a reunion of bp/HRG/iT, the team went perfect in the regular season, but after a disappointing loss to Mixup in the TFTV Invitational, gr4nny swapped with dummy and went back to his old main, Demoman. froyotech won Season 16, and with that win came another trip to Europe for i52. Dummy, finally getting a LAN championship and unable to commit to a European trip, left the team and was replaced by breakout Demoman [[duwatna]] from Street Hoops eSports. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly gr4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports. The team made the voyage to Coventry, England to compete in i52 against the Europeans and Australians and did not drop a single map in the elimination bracket, becoming the best TF2 team in the world. froyotech finished 14-2 in Season 17 before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Furthermore, they would win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014, and [[ESEA-I Season 18]] in April of 2015 with a perfect 16-0 record.

==== Season 19 ====
The team continued into [[ESEA-I Season 19]], but not without heavy roster changes. Lansky, unable to commit to i55, was moved to backup, and several players were considered to take his spot. First, the team brought in serv0 of Rent-a-Homies, but after losing to Ascent on [[Sunshine]], the team felt that serv0 did not quite fit its playstyle. froyotech then picked up ash from Street Hoops eSports on Pocket, resulting in ash making his pocket debut after previously playing Roamer for Street Hoops. After losing to Ascent 2-0 in the upper bracket finals, yet another drastic roster change was made, this time moving gr4nny to Pocket and ash to Scout. This proved to be the winning combination, as froyotech came from the lower bracket and beat Ascent in 2 Best-of-3s to win [[ESEA-I Season 19]].

==== Season 20 ====
The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in ESEA-I Season 20.

==== Season 21 ====
gr4nny remade [[froyotech]] following these events for [[ESEA-I Season 21|Season 21 of ESEA Invite]] with the majority of teammates being pulled from the Invite team [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Freestate, a scout from Strawberry Mangos, became Medic, with [[Decimate]] filling his place as the new Scout alongside gr4nny. The rest of Strawberry Mangoes stayed in their previous positions: paddie played Pocket, corsa played Roamer, and muma played Demoman.

At the start of Season 21, Decimate left the team to focus on school, and the Scout slot opened up. gr4nny brought in old teammate clockwork on Scout to once again complete the powerful Scout duo of him and clockwork. Midway through Season 21, froyotech underwent further roster changes. The team replaced corsa with Paddie on Roamer. gr4nny moved to Pocket once more, and Freestate switched back to his previous main, Scout. The team then brought in Ninjanick, a seasoned Invite veteran from Street Hoops eSports (then Team SoloUber), on Medic.

==== Season 22 ====
Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for OverWatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, gr4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

==== i58 ====
At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession. They continued on to be matched against Crowns Esports in the Upper Bracket Finals, froyotech just narrowly lost 2-1 in maps against Crowns to be forced into the Consolation finals. They met Full Tilt there, who they had previously tied against in round one of group stages. Full tilt then proceeded to win one map, with froyotech striking back to take the second. The third map was a nail biter, each team taking one round after the other had done so. With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.

Bant '''"FUCKING"''' Vincent is an American player currently playing [[Scout]] for [[froyotech]]. He is well known for playing [[Demoman]] for the ESEA-I teams [[eMazing Gaming]], [[Leviathan Gaming]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]] as well as [[Scout]] for [[iT]]. He is widely recognized as one of the greatest Demomen ever, and is also a top Scout and Soldier main. His ability to play all classes in [[6v6]] at an [[ESEA-Invite]] level has led to him often being regarded as the best player in the world.

B4niel is most known for his dominance of the competitive scene through his entire history, being an ESEA LAN champion for 9 out of his 13 seasons. In addition, his team [[froyotech]] is known as the previously undisputed TF2 world champions after their consecutive victories at [[i52]] and [[i55]].

==Biography==

gr4nny grew up in Bellevue, Washington. Before he played TF2, he played competitive Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 in his middle school years. He was also interested in Unreal Tournament, which brought him closer to the arena-style FPS games, like Quake, that TF2 is based on. He has been playing TF2 since it was first released on the Orange Box, having pre-ordered the set in 2007.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea62tL7TSYg gr4nny Interview by Tagg</ref>

==TF2==

===Slaughterhouse Gaming (BHS)===
gr4nny started his TF2 career by playing with Slaughterhouse Gaming, a pub community's [[Open]] team. He played with them for 2 seasons, Season 3 and Season 4. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in all the matches. In Season 3, the team barely made Open playoffs (at the time, only 8 teams made the cut) and lost to first-seed Harmonic. In Season 4, the team fared better, ending up at 3rd place in Open playoffs, but it was not enough. The team disbanded shortly after.

===[[Don't Trip]]===
After Slaughterhouse Gaming, gr4nny was picked up by his friend tyrone to form the first iteration of what would become one of the longest-living teams in ESEA-TF2 history, Don't Trip. The Season 5 roster was integral in establishing the core of gr4nny, tyrone, and mackey that would make up a large part of Don't Trip throughout its 9-season history. Playing alongside now-long-time-friends such as blaze and the aforementioned tyrone and mackey, the team won Open in Season 5.

Afterwards, the team made the jump to Invite, and had to restructure the roster. Blaze and jnkx, the scout pair, left, and the young talent yz50 was brought in alongside raf. The medic, karenbear, left as well, and [[Shade]] was brought in, to help create the core of players that gr4nny would play with for many seasons to come. The team got a sponsor and came into Invite under the banner of eMazing Gaming.

====[[eMazing Gaming]]====

gr4nny's first foray into invite ended up with him making LAN, starting a longtime tradition of LAN appearances. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 record in Season 6 and ended up placing 4th at LAN, losing out to fourth-seeded blight.own, beginning a long-time rivalry with fellow LAN veteran [[Platinum]]. Despite placing fourth, he was invited to play with the ESEA-East TF2 All-Stars team that season. The team defeated the west team 5-0 with gr4nny top-fragging for the team.

After Season 6, eMg made one more roster change. They cut scout raf for the next generation of Open champions in the form of [[Ggglygy]]
from Nexzil Gaming. Still under the eMg banner, the team marched on into Season 7 and finished third in the regular season, with a 12-4 record. gr4nny's second-consecutive third seed at LAN gave him a chance to redeem himself and eMg won Season 7 LAN, defeating ComplexityTF2 5-1 on [[Granary]] and Coldfront.

The team made no changes for Season 8 but did not anticipate the perfect season of [[CheckSix Gaming]], again getting the third seed in the regular season, this time with a 9-7 record. gr4nny's third consecutive LAN appearance ended in a 2-1 defeat in the finals at the hands of CheckSix.

====[[Prophets ft. Dashner]]====

In the offseason, the team made some changes, cutting ggglygy for [[cyzer]], yz50 for [[clockwork]], and replacing Shade with CB (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before LAN, the sponsorship was re-branded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Since CB could not make LAN that season, reptile stepped in as medic. Prophets once again won LAN, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] and starting what would become a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

====[[Quantic Gaming]]====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. CB returned to the team as medic after an absence at the previous season's LAN. Quantic finally broke the third seed tradition and captured the first seed for LAN off a 15-1 record, but lost at LAN to Classic Mixup. Shortly afterward,
Shade returned, allowing gr4nny to reform the original core of the team that had won S7 LAN, and combine it with new players that helped foster the S9 win to create an incredibly strong team. Mackey had to leave for a season, however, so they brought in [[Dave__AC]] from the former CheckSix team to complete the roster. The team united under a new sponsor, Leviathan Gaming.

===[[Leviathan Gaming]]===

Season 11 repeated what had become a trope of gr4nny's invite career at this point: finish third place regular season and go undefeated at LAN. Mihaly's Flow, the regular season leaders, were favorites at this LAN. But, their dropping two games to LG and [[Spacewhales]] gave LG the chance to take the trophy away, and that they did. The Leviathan Gaming team are noteworthy in that they were the first team (alongside Classic Mixup) to be sent to Europe as part of the i46 TF2 LAN. Because Dave__AC was not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the LAN-proven lineup. Both American teams shattered expectations and defeated the Europeans, leading to an all-American finals. However, LG ended up losing to Classic Mixup in the grand finals and finished second at i46.

Going back to America for Season 12, the roster saw one change in the leaving of clockwork, prompting the team to bring in hero to replace him, and the return of Dave__AC. This roster once again made LAN, finishing second place. Shortly afterwards, gr4nny, shade, and cyzer all left LG to form a new super team: bp.

===[[bp]]===

bp formed out of the core that had kept Don't Trip at LAN for seven straight seasons: gr4nny, shade, and relatively new blood cyzer. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, getting [[Taggerung]] from The Chess Club, [[Shrugger]] from Pinball Wizards, as well as [[lansky]] from GOIN HEAVY. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting their sponsorship for LAN.

====[[High Rollers Gaming]]====

Re-branded under the HRG tag, gr4nny and crew took Season 13 LAN without much competition as well as Season 14, with HRG earning another perfect season and another LAN win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning Season 14, was given the American spot at [[i49]], and ended up finishing third after not being able to defeat the made-for-LAN [[Epsilon|Epsilon eSports]] and the [[TCM]] crew. Once again HRG re-branded under another TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====[[iT]]====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under numerous roster changes in the off-season. Shade, unable to commit, left, and was replaced by up and coming talent [[indust]] from AG. Tagg and Cyzer left as well, prompting gr4nny to switch from Demoman to Scout and pick up xalox from the dead Solace eSports as Demo and rr from The Mad Men on roamer. The new roster once again went undefeated in the regular season, but in one of the greatest ESEA finals of all time, Classic Mixup managed to break their winning streak and recapture the trophy.

===[[froyotech]]===
==== Season 16-18 ====
With klanana leaving TF2, the iT sponsorship was lost. gr4nny and shade (now returning) decided to rebrand under the team name froyotech, creating something of their own esports organization with a website and all. The team reunited several players gr4nny had played with in the past, getting blaze from his Slaughterhouse days on roamer and clockwork from Prophets ft. Dashner, Quantic, and Leviathan on scout. They also pulled in dummy and ruwin on Demo and Pocket, respectively to begin the season. However, after Ruwin quit TF2, the scramble was on for a new pocket, and gr4nny brought in old teammate lansky to replace him. Now looking like a reunion of bp/HRG/iT, the team went perfect in the regular season, but after a disappointing loss to Mixup in the TFTV Invitational, gr4nny swapped with dummy and went back to his old main, Demoman. froyotech won Season 16, and with that win came another trip to Europe for i52. Dummy, finally getting a LAN championship and unable to commit to a European trip, left the team and was replaced by breakout Demoman [[duwatna]] from Street Hoops eSports. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly gr4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports. The team made the voyage to Coventry, England to compete in i52 against the Europeans and Australians and did not drop a single map in the elimination bracket, becoming the best TF2 team in the world. froyotech finished 14-2 in Season 17 before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Furthermore, they would win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014, and [[ESEA-I Season 18]] in April of 2015 with a perfect 16-0 record.

==== Season 19 ====
The team continued into [[ESEA-I Season 19]], but not without heavy roster changes. Lansky, unable to commit to i55, was moved to backup, and several players were considered to take his spot. First, the team brought in serv0 of Rent-a-Homies, but after losing to Ascent on [[Sunshine]], the team felt that serv0 did not quite fit its playstyle. froyotech then picked up ash from Street Hoops eSports on Pocket, resulting in ash making his pocket debut after previously playing Roamer for Street Hoops. After losing to Ascent 2-0 in the upper bracket finals, yet another drastic roster change was made, this time moving gr4nny to Pocket and ash to Scout. This proved to be the winning combination, as froyotech came from the lower bracket and beat Ascent in 2 Best-of-3s to win [[ESEA-I Season 19]].

==== Season 20 ====
The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in ESEA-I Season 20.

==== Season 21 ====
gr4nny remade [[froyotech]] following these events for [[ESEA-I Season 21|Season 21 of ESEA Invite]] with the majority of teammates being pulled from the Invite team [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Freestate, a scout from Strawberry Mangos, became Medic, with [[Decimate]] filling his place as the new Scout alongside gr4nny. The rest of Strawberry Mangoes stayed in their previous positions: paddie played Pocket, corsa played Roamer, and muma played Demoman.

At the start of Season 21, Decimate left the team to focus on school, and the Scout slot opened up. gr4nny brought in old teammate clockwork on Scout to once again complete the powerful Scout duo of him and clockwork. Midway through Season 21, froyotech underwent further roster changes. The team replaced corsa with Paddie on Roamer. gr4nny moved to Pocket once more, and Freestate switched back to his previous main, Scout. The team then brought in Ninjanick, a seasoned Invite veteran from Street Hoops eSports (then Team SoloUber), on Medic.

==== Season 22 ====
Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for OverWatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, gr4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

==== i58 ====
At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession. They continued on to be matched against Crowns Esports in the Upper Bracket Finals, froyotech just narrowly lost 2-1 in maps against Crowns to be forced into the Consolation finals. They met Full Tilt there, who they had previously tied against in round one of group stages. Full tilt then proceeded to win one map, with froyotech striking back to take the second. The third map was a nail biter, each team taking one round after the other had done so. With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.

===Slaughterhouse Gaming (BHS)===
gr4nny started his TF2 career by playing with Slaughterhouse Gaming, a pub community's [[Open]] team. He played with them for 2 seasons, Season 3 and Season 4. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in all the matches. In Season 3, the team barely made Open playoffs (at the time, only 8 teams made the cut) and lost to first-seed Harmonic. In Season 4, the team fared better, ending up at 3rd place in Open playoffs, but it was not enough. The team disbanded shortly after.

===[[Don't Trip]]===
After Slaughterhouse Gaming, gr4nny was picked up by his friend tyrone to form the first iteration of what would become one of the longest-living teams in ESEA-TF2 history, Don't Trip. The Season 5 roster was integral in establishing the core of gr4nny, tyrone, and mackey that would make up a large part of Don't Trip throughout its 9-season history. Playing alongside now-long-time-friends such as blaze and the aforementioned tyrone and mackey, the team won Open in Season 5.

Afterwards, the team made the jump to Invite, and had to restructure the roster. Blaze and jnkx, the scout pair, left, and the young talent yz50 was brought in alongside raf. The medic, karenbear, left as well, and [[Shade]] was brought in, to help create the core of players that gr4nny would play with for many seasons to come. The team got a sponsor and came into Invite under the banner of eMazing Gaming.

====[[eMazing Gaming]]====

gr4nny's first foray into invite ended up with him making LAN, starting a longtime tradition of LAN appearances. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 record in Season 6 and ended up placing 4th at LAN, losing out to fourth-seeded blight.own, beginning a long-time rivalry with fellow LAN veteran [[Platinum]]. Despite placing fourth, he was invited to play with the ESEA-East TF2 All-Stars team that season. The team defeated the west team 5-0 with gr4nny top-fragging for the team.

After Season 6, eMg made one more roster change. They cut scout raf for the next generation of Open champions in the form of [[Ggglygy]]
from Nexzil Gaming. Still under the eMg banner, the team marched on into Season 7 and finished third in the regular season, with a 12-4 record. gr4nny's second-consecutive third seed at LAN gave him a chance to redeem himself and eMg won Season 7 LAN, defeating ComplexityTF2 5-1 on [[Granary]] and Coldfront.

The team made no changes for Season 8 but did not anticipate the perfect season of [[CheckSix Gaming]], again getting the third seed in the regular season, this time with a 9-7 record. gr4nny's third consecutive LAN appearance ended in a 2-1 defeat in the finals at the hands of CheckSix.

====[[Prophets ft. Dashner]]====

In the offseason, the team made some changes, cutting ggglygy for [[cyzer]], yz50 for [[clockwork]], and replacing Shade with CB (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before LAN, the sponsorship was re-branded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Since CB could not make LAN that season, reptile stepped in as medic. Prophets once again won LAN, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] and starting what would become a long-standing rivalry between the two teams.

====[[Quantic Gaming]]====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. CB returned to the team as medic after an absence at the previous season's LAN. Quantic finally broke the third seed tradition and captured the first seed for LAN off a 15-1 record, but lost at LAN to Classic Mixup. Shortly afterward,
Shade returned, allowing gr4nny to reform the original core of the team that had won S7 LAN, and combine it with new players that helped foster the S9 win to create an incredibly strong team. Mackey had to leave for a season, however, so they brought in [[Dave__AC]] from the former CheckSix team to complete the roster. The team united under a new sponsor, Leviathan Gaming.

===[[Leviathan Gaming]]===

Season 11 repeated what had become a trope of gr4nny's invite career at this point: finish third place regular season and go undefeated at LAN. Mihaly's Flow, the regular season leaders, were favorites at this LAN. But, their dropping two games to LG and [[Spacewhales]] gave LG the chance to take the trophy away, and that they did. The Leviathan Gaming team are noteworthy in that they were the first team (alongside Classic Mixup) to be sent to Europe as part of the i46 TF2 LAN. Because Dave__AC was not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the LAN-proven lineup. Both American teams shattered expectations and defeated the Europeans, leading to an all-American finals. However, LG ended up losing to Classic Mixup in the grand finals and finished second at i46.

Going back to America for Season 12, the roster saw one change in the leaving of clockwork, prompting the team to bring in hero to replace him, and the return of Dave__AC. This roster once again made LAN, finishing second place. Shortly afterwards, gr4nny, shade, and cyzer all left LG to form a new super team: bp.

===[[bp]]===

bp formed out of the core that had kept Don't Trip at LAN for seven straight seasons: gr4nny, shade, and relatively new blood cyzer. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, getting [[Taggerung]] from The Chess Club, [[Shrugger]] from Pinball Wizards, as well as [[lansky]] from GOIN HEAVY. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting their sponsorship for LAN.

====[[High Rollers Gaming]]====

Re-branded under the HRG tag, gr4nny and crew took Season 13 LAN without much competition as well as Season 14, with HRG earning another perfect season and another LAN win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning Season 14, was given the American spot at [[i49]], and ended up finishing third after not being able to defeat the made-for-LAN [[Epsilon|Epsilon eSports]] and the [[TCM]] crew. Once again HRG re-branded under another TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====[[iT]]====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under numerous roster changes in the off-season. Shade, unable to commit, left, and was replaced by up and coming talent [[indust]] from AG. Tagg and Cyzer left as well, prompting gr4nny to switch from Demoman to Scout and pick up xalox from the dead Solace eSports as Demo and rr from The Mad Men on roamer. The new roster once again went undefeated in the regular season, but in one of the greatest ESEA finals of all time, Classic Mixup managed to break their winning streak and recapture the trophy.

===[[froyotech]]===
==== Season 16-18 ====
With klanana leaving TF2, the iT sponsorship was lost. gr4nny and shade (now returning) decided to rebrand under the team name froyotech, creating something of their own esports organization with a website and all. The team reunited several players gr4nny had played with in the past, getting blaze from his Slaughterhouse days on roamer and clockwork from Prophets ft. Dashner, Quantic, and Leviathan on scout. They also pulled in dummy and ruwin on Demo and Pocket, respectively to begin the season. However, after Ruwin quit TF2, the scramble was on for a new pocket, and gr4nny brought in old teammate lansky to replace him. Now looking like a reunion of bp/HRG/iT, the team went perfect in the regular season, but after a disappointing loss to Mixup in the TFTV Invitational, gr4nny swapped with dummy and went back to his old main, Demoman. froyotech won Season 16, and with that win came another trip to Europe for i52. Dummy, finally getting a LAN championship and unable to commit to a European trip, left the team and was replaced by breakout Demoman [[duwatna]] from Street Hoops eSports. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly gr4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports. The team made the voyage to Coventry, England to compete in i52 against the Europeans and Australians and did not drop a single map in the elimination bracket, becoming the best TF2 team in the world. froyotech finished 14-2 in Season 17 before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Furthermore, they would win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014, and [[ESEA-I Season 18]] in April of 2015 with a perfect 16-0 record.

==== Season 19 ====
The team continued into [[ESEA-I Season 19]], but not without heavy roster changes. Lansky, unable to commit to i55, was moved to backup, and several players were considered to take his spot. First, the team brought in serv0 of Rent-a-Homies, but after losing to Ascent on [[Sunshine]], the team felt that serv0 did not quite fit its playstyle. froyotech then picked up ash from Street Hoops eSports on Pocket, resulting in ash making his pocket debut after previously playing Roamer for Street Hoops. After losing to Ascent 2-0 in the upper bracket finals, yet another drastic roster change was made, this time moving gr4nny to Pocket and ash to Scout. This proved to be the winning combination, as froyotech came from the lower bracket and beat Ascent in 2 Best-of-3s to win [[ESEA-I Season 19]].

==== Season 20 ====
The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in ESEA-I Season 20.

==== Season 21 ====
gr4nny remade [[froyotech]] following these events for [[ESEA-I Season 21|Season 21 of ESEA Invite]] with the majority of teammates being pulled from the Invite team [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Freestate, a scout from Strawberry Mangos, became Medic, with [[Decimate]] filling his place as the new Scout alongside gr4nny. The rest of Strawberry Mangoes stayed in their previous positions: paddie played Pocket, corsa played Roamer, and muma played Demoman.

At the start of Season 21, Decimate left the team to focus on school, and the Scout slot opened up. gr4nny brought in old teammate clockwork on Scout to once again complete the powerful Scout duo of him and clockwork. Midway through Season 21, froyotech underwent further roster changes. The team replaced corsa with Paddie on Roamer. gr4nny moved to Pocket once more, and Freestate switched back to his previous main, Scout. The team then brought in Ninjanick, a seasoned Invite veteran from Street Hoops eSports (then Team SoloUber), on Medic.

==== Season 22 ====
Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for OverWatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, gr4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

==== i58 ====
At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession. They continued on to be matched against Crowns Esports in the Upper Bracket Finals, froyotech just narrowly lost 2-1 in maps against Crowns to be forced into the Consolation finals. They met Full Tilt there, who they had previously tied against in round one of group stages. Full tilt then proceeded to win one map, with froyotech striking back to take the second. The third map was a nail biter, each team taking one round after the other had done so. With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.
