The Medic is a maniacal German scientist who is capable of healing his teammates and making them invulnerable for short periods of time. In [[6v6]], the Medic makes up a key component of the combo, along with the pocket [[Soldier]]. In [[Highlander]], the combo usually consists of a Medic, [[Heavy]], and [[Demoman]]. As the Medic does not need to focus on aim, Medics generally act as [[callers]] for their teams. However, in higher-level play, Medics who maincall aren't as common, mostly because they aren't as aware of the other team's position. A [[Demoman]] or [[Heavy]] may serve as a more accurate caller. Medic duties generally include keeping the team fully buffed, timing and leading pushes, and tracking enemy Übers. Skills required from a Medic differ from division to division. Generally, Medics are expected to die less, heal hurt teammates, and Über at the appropriate times. At higher levels, Medics who can surf, position themselves well, and defend themselves are more common.

==6v6==
{{main|Medic (6v6)}}

In [[6v6]] there is a restriction of 1 Medic per team.

The '''Medic''' is a vital part of any [[6v6]] team, with his ability to use ÜberCharges or KritzCharges on teammates for pushes from point to point or for saving teammates. Due to this, he is usually the most targeted player by the enemy team. One of the two soldiers, known as the pocket, is supposed to protect the medic. If a team loses a Medic they are posed with a large disadvantage of no heals, and may be pushed back to another point or even lose the game. As the Medics ÜberCharge is an important part of a match, they will usually be protected well by the pocket [[Soldier]] - In some cases the Medic may have to leave his teammates while he gets a health pack. Medics will usually communicate their ÜberCharge percentage as well as their position to their team so they can prepare pushes and defenses, and be ready for an enemy push. Because of the importance of the ÜberCharge, the common phrase ''''Pop it, don't drop it'''' is used.

In [[6v6]] the more commonly used Medi Guns are the stock [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Medigun Medigun] and the [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Kritzkrieg Kritzkrieg], but in [[ESEA]] the [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Vaccinator Vaccinator] is also allowed. Most Medics usually use the default Medi Gun or the Kritzkrieg. The Quick-Fix was occasionally used before the July 11, 2013 patch which buffed it. As a result of the buff, it has been banned in ESEA since Season 15. The Vaccinator is rarely used. Some Medics will switch Medi Gun depending on the situation, sometimes surprising enemies with a KritzCharge usually done with the [[Demoman]] for maximum damage output.

'''Famous 6v6 Medics include:'''
* [[Mirelin]] - [[Broder]] ([[ETF2L]])
* [[F2]] - Previously in [[Epsilon eSports]] ([[ETF2L]])
* [[Shade]] - [[High Rollers Gaming|HRG]] ([[ESEA]])
* [[Whiteglow]] - [[Last Man Standing]], msh([[ETF2L]])
* [[Bonobo]] - [[Team Immunity]] ([[ozfortress]])
* [[Harbleu]] - [[Classic Mixup]] ([[ESEA]])
* [[Byte]] - ([[ETF2L]])
* [[Pyyyour]] - ([[ESEA]])

==Highlander==
{{main|Medic (Highlander)}}

The Medic has nearly the same role as he does in 6v6; healing his teammates and using his ÜberCharges to turn the tide of a match. Instead of a soldier, the medic has a heavy as his pocket.

Grant "'''b4nny'''" Vincent is a competitive TF2 player currently playing [[Scout]] for [[Froyotech]], known for playing [[Demoman]] for the ESEA-I teams [[eMazing Gaming]], [[Leviathan Gaming]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]]. He is widely acknowledged to be one of the best Demomen in the game, on par with the European Demoman [[Numlocked]] due to his amazing gamesense and DM. Additionally, his ability to play all classes in [[6v6]] at an Invite level has led to him widely regarded as the best player in the world.

==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 (albeit the team did not have a too consistent roster, and he did not play 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 still plays with today. 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. The team barely skirted into the 3rd seed with a 10-6 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 topfragging 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 reptile (on good terms; shade decided to take some seasons off). Just before lan, the sponsorship was rebranded under a personal sponsorship from Dashner: Prophets ft. Dashner. Prophets once again won lan, defeating the first iteration of [[Classic Mixup]] in what would become a long-standing rivalry.

====Quantic Gaming====

Quantic Gaming sponsored the team for Season 10. Reptile left the team, forcing Quantic to replace him with CB. 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 with 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 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. Dave__AC not available to travel to Europe, mackey stepped back in and re-completed the lan-proven lineup. Both American teams shocked expectations and defeated the Euros, 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 and [[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 sponsored by them for lan.

====High Rollers Gaming====

Rebranded under the HRG tagg, b4nny and crew took s13 lan without much competition. The same thing happened in Season 14, with another perfect season and another lan win with the exact same roster. The team, after winning ESEA, 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 it rebranded under a TF2 organization - the iT servers, run by klanana.

====iT====

iT, still undefeated in ESEA, went under a ton of roster changes in the offseason. 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 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]]===

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. They 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]]. The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly b4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports (now eLevate TF2). The team made the voyage to Coventry, England, to compete in i52 against the Euros 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 ESEA before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Froyotech went on to win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014.

==Trivia==
During his long stint as a demoman man, b4nny was often called "Pipe Jesus", as a result of his impeccable grenade launcher aim.

The team started out Season 17 looking strong, but surprisingly b4nny lost his first regular season match in over two years to Exertus eSports (now eLevate TF2). The team made the voyage to Coventry, England, to compete in i52 against the Euros 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 ESEA before going on to win GXL and CEVO Season 5 LAN. Froyotech went on to win [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in December of 2014.

==Post-Insomnia49==

Team [[bp]] dropped their sponsor (HRG) and got the Jump community ([[iT]]) to sponsor them (Klanana, who previously sponsored [[Mad Men]]). [[Cyzer]] had some tensions with the team and left on [http://news.esea.net/tf2/index.php?s=news&d=comments&id=13109 aug 31st, 2013]. [[Shade]] retired as previously stated in his Youtube videos.
[[b4nny]] moved to scout and the team picked up [[rr]] initially to play demo. [[Taggerung]] also decided to leave, as a result of stress outside of the game. The team decided to move rr to roamer and then began to trial scouts and demos. Finally they agreed to play with [[xalox]] (seen in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzk9ubQyeLM Fully Charged #39]).
