One of the oldest currently [[:Category:Active Players|active players]], starting his career in 2009, he made his way to the top of the North American scene due to his success playing [[Demoman]]. However, since joining [[froyotech]], he has primarily mained [[Scout]] and [[Pocket Soldier]]. A heals-heavy player, b4nny often relies on his game-sense, leadership and experience rather than pure [[Glossary#DM|DM ability]] against his opponents.

Perhaps the most famous figure in the worldwide competitive Team Fortress 2 scene, b4nny has one of the largest social media presences due to his [http://twitch.tv/b4nny Twitch Stream] and [http://youtube.com/b4nny Youtube Channel].

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>  

== Career ==

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. However, the team did not have a very consistent roster, and he did not play in 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. Check out the community's website [http://www.bhslaughter.com/forum/ here].

The main members of the team disbanded in November 24, 2015 after losing to Team SoloUber and getting 3rd place in [[ESEA-I Season 20]].

Season 22 Started out very well for froyotech. With clockwork leaving for Overwatch, Blaze returned to the team on roamer and Paddie transitioned to scout. Only two weeks into the season the team's medic Ninjanick decided to leave for Overwatch, the team then picked up Phorophor who had recently been cut from RONIN. Along with this change, b4nny decided to play scout with Paddie on pocket. With i58 just a few months away, Blaze became unable to attend the lan. The team decided to pick up TLR on pocket pushing Paddie back over to his original position on the team, roamer. The team pushed through the season doing very well and coming in as first seed for the season. With the playoffs kicking off, their first match was against EVL gaming, an easy roll for froyotech. Then came the Upper Bracket Finals, Ronin had beaten Froyo black in the lower bracket finals so they needed to win two best of three's straight in order to dethrone froyotech. froyotech came out on a rough start, losing the first Best Of Three 2-0 in maps, they looked to make changes in the second. It started off rough, losing on snakewater to Ronin in the first map they were on a three map loss streak with low morale. The team then made a quick return to take the next two maps, granting them the season 22 invite champions title.

At i58 the team performed extraordinarily well but not as dominant as the previous froyotech rosters in the i-Series. The team came in third place during the group stages, not dropping any games but instead tying two games, one against Jasmine Tea the Australian wonders and the other against Full Tilt. With day two starting the team was prepared to give the people some games to watch. In the morning they beat Xenex in two quick maps, advancing to fight Jasmine Tea. froyotech then took two close maps from Jasmine Tea in succession. They continued on to be matched against Crowns Esports in the Upper Bracket Finals, froyotech just narrowly lost 2-1 in maps against Crowns to be forced into the Consolation finals. They met Full Tilt there, who they had previously tied against in round one of group stages. Full tilt then proceeded to win one map, with froyotech striking back to take the second. The third map was a nail biter, each team taking one round after the other had done so. With only a minute left Full tilt was up a round and on their own last defending for their spot in the grand finals. froyotech made the push but failed to accomplish what they were looking for, with the game ending directly after the push had ended, froyotech was granted third place and the players returned home.
