Epsilon eSports are an eSports sponsor whose 6v6 team held a dominant spot in [[ETF2L]]'s Premiership division for many years. The team in its various incarnations picked up 7 ETF2L championships and became [[Insomnia_Gaming_Festival|Insomnia LAN]] champions at [[Insomnia49]]. They were considered the best team in Europe during their time and arguably the best team in the world after their performance at i49. They were dominant in the ETF2L Premiership division for over 3 years, taking over the spot of EU's dominant team from the former [[Team Dignitas]]. The organization's sponsorship of Team Fortress 2 ceased after the [[Insomnia52]] LAN event, where the team took 2nd place behind North American team [[Froyotech]]. Many of the team's players later formed the core of current ETF2L Premiership team [[SUAVE]], before disbanding after winning ETF2L Seasons 19 and 20.

==History==

Epsilon were expected to perform at a top level in i46 and were appointed by many as favorites to win. After they placed 3rd place the team was subject to various line-up changes, particularly picking up [[Team Infused (old)|Infused]] players [[Mike]] and [[Numlocked]]. This made the team even more dominant in the European scene and fit to take on North America's best.

Epsilon won the i49 LAN with a near-flawless performance, dropping only a single map to [[TCM]] in the Grand Finals, and crowning a European team as the TF2 intercontinental champion.

The team disbanded after finishing ETF2L Season 16 and ESEA-Open in January 2014.<ref>http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/14633-rip#post-3</ref> They reformed with a new roster featuring a mix of old and new members for ETF2L Season 18.

In the [[i52]] LAN, however, despite going undefeated in the Invite Group stage, they dropped 2 matches to [[Froyotech]], one in the knockout stage and the other in the Grand Final, thus losing their title of World Champions.

The team folded after the event with several players taking a break due to other commitments.

'''ESEA''' ''(E-Sports Entertainment Association)'' is an e-sports organisation located and hosted in North America and hosts [[6v6|6s]] tournaments in Team Fortress 2. ''ESEA'' also hosts competitive teams for other games, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Source Counter Strike: Source] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive Counter Strike: Global Offensive].

== Divisions ==
Within the TF2 league, there are four divisions:
* [[ESEA-I (Invite)]]
* [[ESEA-M (Main)]] (only during Season 15)
* [[ESEA-IM (Intermediate)]]
* [[ESEA-O (Open)]]

The Invite division currently hosts the highest level of 6v6 competition in North America. Although ESEA is hosted in North America, players from other continents are allowed to participate in any of the divisions. At the end of each season the top teams from the Invite division participate in a LAN event to compete for the Invite prize pool.

After the ESEA S18 LAN Finals, ESEA announced that they would no longer be hosting LAN Finals for TF2, relegating the post-season to online playoffs.

== Format ==
The ESEA regular season consists of 16 regular season matches, played over 8 maps with one map per week. The top teams from each division participate in double-elimination playoffs to compete for the division's prize pool. Each game in the playoff bracket at ESEA LAN is played as a best-of-3-matches, while playoff games in the other divisions are single-game. Between seasons, teams may be promoted or demoted to another division based on their performance during the season.

Matches are played on a single map, with two halves of 30 minutes. 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 3 rounds; the second half and the match ends once the time limit runs out or one team wins 5 rounds;
* On [[King of the Hill]] maps, the first half is played until the time limit runs out or one team wins 3 rounds; the second half and the match ends once the time limit runs out or one team wins 4 rounds;
* On [[Attack/Defend]] maps, each half consists of a [[stopwatch]] round. The teams alternate between attacking and defending, such as if team A defended first, team B will be the first to defend in the next round. Each team can score one point in a half. The game ends once one of the teams reaches 2 points.
* In [[Capture the Flag]], the times of each half are only 20 minutes long and has no capture limit. The team with the highest amount of captures by the end of the second half wins the round.

== Fees and Prices ==
To participate in ESEA, all players are required to pay a league fee and subscribe to ESEA Premium. The fees are as follows:
* Invite: $85 (includes free premium)
* Main: $15
* Intermediate: $12
* Open: $10

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 often being 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, and [[ESEA-I Season 17]] in April of 2015 with a 16-0 record.

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

'''Ascent''' is an [[ESEA-I (Invite)|ESEA-I]] TF2 team founded in [[ESEA-I Season 15|ESEA Season 15]] from a group of invite pug players. The core of the team, Decimate, Ma3la, bdonski, and alfa, have all been together since the team's creation. They were also formerly known as Lost in Translation, Exertus eSports and eLevate TF2. After the end of Season 18, eLevate gaming ceased sponsorship for Team Fortress 2, and as such, the team previously known as eLevate became known as Ascent.

'''ESEA''' ''(E-Sports Entertainment Association)'' is an e-sports organisation located and hosted in North America and hosts [[6v6|6s]] tournaments in Team Fortress 2. ''ESEA'' also hosts competitive teams for other games, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Source Counter Strike: Source] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive Counter Strike: Global Offensive].

== Divisions ==
Within the TF2 league, there are four divisions:
* [[ESEA-I (Invite)]]
* [[ESEA-M (Main)]] (only during Season 15)
* [[ESEA-IM (Intermediate)]]
* [[ESEA-O (Open)]]

The Invite division currently hosts the highest level of 6v6 competition in North America. Although ESEA is hosted in North America, players from other continents are allowed to participate in any of the divisions. At the end of each season the top teams from the Invite division participate in a LAN event to compete for the Invite prize pool.

After the ESEA S18 LAN Finals, ESEA announced that they would no longer be hosting LAN Finals for TF2, relegating the post-season to online playoffs.

== Format ==
The ESEA regular season consists of 16 regular season matches, played over 8 maps with one map per week. The top teams from each division participate in double-elimination playoffs to compete for the division's prize pool. Each game in the playoff bracket at ESEA LAN is played as a best-of-3-matches, while playoff games in the other divisions are single-game. Between seasons, teams may be promoted or demoted to another division based on their performance during the season.

Matches are played on a single map, with two halves of 30 minutes. 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 3 rounds; the second half and the match ends once the time limit runs out or one team wins 5 rounds;
* On [[King of the Hill]] maps, the first half is played until the time limit runs out or one team wins 3 rounds; the second half and the match ends once the time limit runs out or one team wins 4 rounds;
* On [[Attack/Defend]] maps, each half consists of a [[stopwatch]] round. The teams alternate between attacking and defending, such as if team A defended first, team B will be the first to defend in the next round. Each team can score one point in a half. The game ends once one of the teams reaches 2 points.
* In [[Capture the Flag]], the times of each half are only 20 minutes long and has no capture limit. The team with the highest amount of captures by the end of the second half wins the round.

== Fees and Prices ==
To participate in ESEA, all players are required to pay a league fee and subscribe to ESEA Premium. The fees are as follows:
* Invite: $85 (includes free premium)
* Main: $15
* Intermediate: $12
* Open: $10
