froyotech is an American Team Fortress 2 organization.

They are the most successful team in competitive TF2 history, winning four International LAN events and a grand total of 11 ESEA-Invite Championships. froyotech are also the first and only team to break the $100,000 mark in tournament earnings.

History[edit]

Foundation and early dominance (2014-2015)[edit]

The team was formed in early 2014 with a lineup of b4nny, clockwork, blaze, Lansky, dummy and shade. Results immediately showed with wins in CEVO Season 4 Main and a perfect 16-0 record in ESEA Season 16 Invite on course to the their first Invite Championship. Demoman dummy was swapped out for duwatna from Street Hoops eSports as he couldn't attend the upcoming i52 event in England. froyotech won the entire tournament with a convincing defeat of European powerhouse Epsilon eSports in the Grand Final (5-1, 5-0). Further wins would follow suit including the CEVO Season 5 Pro Finals, the GXL Invitational 2014, two further ESEA-Invite titles in Season's 17 and 18 before Lansky retired after the Season 18 LAN finals. He was swapped out for Ash on Scout with b4nny switching to the empty Pocket Soldier role. The teams dominance continued despite this change with a fourth consecutive Invite title in Season 19 and winning i55.

Reformation and continued success (2015-Present)[edit]

Controversy soon gripped the team during the Season 20 playoff match between froyotech and Team SoloUber. Ash left the team mid-game over internal issues ^[1] which forced the team to use Seymour for the rest of the match. The team subsequently lost the series placing them 3rd overall for the Season. After this incident the roster scattered, forcing b4nny to reform the team with a new roster of Decimate, clockwork, corsa, paddie and Freestate. However Decimate was forced to leave due to a lack of availability forcing b4nny on Scout with corsa on roamer. corsa was shortly swapped out for experienced Invite Medic ninjanick with Freestate switching from Medic to Scout ^[2]. Despite all the changes the team immediately returned to their winning ways, winning Season 21 and defeating reigning champions RONIN with a lower-bracket sweep. More roster changes would soon follow in order to prepare for i58 with long time rival Soldier TLR joining along with new Medic phorofor. The changes worked initially with victory in Season 22, defeating RONIN once again. But at i58 the team finished a disappointing 3rd. This prompted more roster changes. blaze and Shade returned to the roster with promising Demoman Habib replacing Muma. With numerous roster changes between seasons froyotech won an extra five straight ESEA-Invite titles and two Rewind events (the Rewind 2017 Invitational and Rewind II. Cementing froyotech as the best team in the world.
