Michael '''"Mike"''' Adams is a Welsh 6v6 player who currently plays [[Roaming Soldier]] for [[ETF2L]] Premiership team SUAVE and is perhaps most well-known for his time playing [[Pocket]] for former EU team [[Epsilon eSports]]. He is recognized for his raw talent with both the [[Rocket Launcher]] and [[Shotgun]] but is particularly famed for his prowess with hitting [[airshot|airshots]]. His death-matching ability is often attributed to be one of the key factors in SUAVE's as well as his previous team Epsilon eSports' dominance of ETF2L. He is famous for his skill in [[MGEMod]] and has been known to defeat other well-known soldiers comfortably; due to this he is often referred to as "MGE Mike".

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 now form the core of current ETF2L Premiership team SUAVE.

==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.
