That's because mlb.com is a website that's literally just baseball news, and I doubt they actually give a shit about whether they spoil anything.
TF2 tournaments happen all the time, all it takes is carefully wording post titles and using spoiler text to make it so that tftv isn't unusable for anyone who wants to watch the vods.

I want to see what KnOxXx's excuse for leaving is this time

b4nny's made it to 3 i-series grand finals with 3 different classes and won 2 of them

Talking about b4nny, the community always knew that b4nny was considered one of the best player in tf2, but I think i55 just confirmed that b4nny is capable of playing any classes at the top level. B4nny's ability of playing demo (pipe jesus) during i49 (HRG) amazed me, as well as his ability to play pocket scout with great DM during i52 (Froyotech being the champions of i52).
During esea s19, Froyotech had to pick up a new pocket to go to i55 due to Lansky having real life things to deal with, picking up ash (former 20b soldier). However, since a pocket soldier is an extremely pressuring roll and the player has to maincall a lot, b4nny switched to pocket soldier, putting ash as the pocket scout for Froyotech. Personally having a pessimistic view, I felt negative to this change, but the change was actually smoother than I've ever imagined. B4nny had top DPM (also had many frags) in almost all of the matches, confirming that b4nny was definitely the best pocket in i55.
Of course it wasnt only b4nny that performed insanely well at i55,
Clockwork was absolutely a fragging machine for Froyotech, almost always having the top frags,
Shade survived almost all of the time (great job reading mids and surviving),
Ash had a transition from soldier to pocket scout smoothly,
Duwatna survived most of the time, protecing him and his medic shade with great pipe aim,
Blaze played smarly along withy his great DM, flanking the other team, making great plays,
All contributing to the victory of Froyotech, the first defending grand champions of i55. Froyotech is arguably the best team in the world now winning two i-series convincingly.

Sincere congratulations to Froyotech.

Also, shoutout to the production crew that helped i55 happen. We hope to see another great i-series.

I actually think after this LAN that not only can banny play all three of those classes at the top level but his pocket is better than his demo and scout.

I agree with this entirely.

Great tournament and congrats to 4g! I will never not be salty about ash winning the first i-series he goes to

Yeah, b4nny was best at pocket. I agree 100%.

dont forget tf2 is his job. i wouldnt expect nothing less

b4nny actually makes a living off tf2?

Not tf2 directly, but he streams tf2.

Congrats Froyo! u guys are such a sick team i really hope u guys stick together and perhaps i get to play vs u again at i58? :)

Sportsmanship at its best.

I hope so too, zebbo is literally the only player that can kill shade at least somewhat consistently

if there was a lan in NA maybe iM could go over (cheaper than UK) and beat froyo ;)

all seriousness there needs to be more intercontinental lans, this was just so great to watch

I would say they're inarguably the best team in the world, as well as of all time, given their team record and stats

The only other possible teams are IMO dignitas and i49 Epsilon. As the skill level has increased so massively since diggy's days they wouldn't be close now but for the time they were around as dominant.

As for i49 epsilon, I remain doubtful they're better than froyotech but I think they wanna prove me wrong.

Well Reason nearly knocked froyotech out, so I wouldn't really be surprised if i49 epsi would win.

Also Kreygasm.

I think what puts froyotech on top for me personally is how they've achieved everything. They've lost maps, they've lost best-of-three series, and they've even lost the one tournament at the very beginning, but they've always bounced back even stronger - they've won every tournament they've attended except for the first one, including all of 7 LAN tournaments. They haven't been as perfect as Epsilon was, but they've come very close in an arguably more competitive time.

I think it's 100% a more competitive time, yeah. There were no great na teams around i49, and there were only 2 good european ones. Huge step up from then to now, hope the trend continues.

everyone hypin about the other nerds and here i am wanting conny to come back

What I'd love to see is Froyotech going for a 3peat while a reformed Mixup (i46 or i52), i49 Epislon, iM, Ascent, and a top team from Asia try to contest them

lag compensation tho

you're right, juke was trash at i49

How about a top Brazilian team? Powah on LAN pls.

We asians would probably get crushed immediately, lol.
But yeah, that's what I'd love to see also

Next big event in NA plz :D??

UK so expensive =[

come to gxl yukiii

What is it that's expensive about the UK for you guys? Is it the travel or living costs?
