Andrei "alfa" C is a competitive TF2 player, known for his class versatility and his ability to adapt to many different teams. Alfa is one of the few players who played for both Europe and North American TF2, competing at LANs representing either. Alfa is regarded as a top tier Soldier, Medic, and Scout, and has played some Demoman in the beginning of his career. After ESEA-I Season 18, alfa took a break from his team, eLevate, and joined a European team before Insomnia55, The Last Resort. Although the team did not perform as well, it showed both the Europeans and North Americans alfa's utility in every team. Despite the unfortunate losses in Insomnia55, alfa created a new pick-up team which is now known as froyotech. Alfa led the team, hoping to make playoffs for ESEA-I Season 20. He picked up the upcoming talents and friends of ESEA-I (Invite), however did not see much success. His team decided to try to improve for next season by picking up TF2 star, b4nny, but was eventually forced to leave the team. Alfa now is backing up for his most successful team, Ascent.

TF2
Businessmen
Alfa's first fully committal team was Businessmen, who did manage to make playoffs in ESEA-IM Season 10, trumping both xensity and Beybladers, powerhouses of present invite players. Alfa played Medic for the team, alongside other invite legends such as froyotech's blaze and Ruwin, never dropping a single Ubercharge. The team finished (12-4-0) in their regular season, and came third in intermediate playoffs- a clear road to Invite for every player.
High Rollers Gaming
Alfa was picked up by the original High Rollers Gaming (for the b4nny team see High Rollers Gaming). The team saw a fair season, placing 5th out of 8 in ESEA-I (Invite) with a score of (5-11-0). Alfa decided to leave this team to play with the well known Don't Trip, filling in slots that were deserted by b4nny and shade
Don't Trip
Alfa was picked up to replace b4nny on Demoman. The team did not see as much success as they placed 6th in ESEA-I (Invite), scoring a moderate (4-12-0).
The Chess Club/tri hards
The Chess Club, led by tri, picked up Alfa, participating only 8 matches, playing both Medic and Demoman for the team. The team naturally found great cohesion, as they were one of the only pick-up teams to make playoffs. alfa brought his team to forth to fourth place in playoffs, right under Fully Torqued, a 'fat' team that included PYYYOUR and A_Seagull, players who made Classic Mixup one of the best teams in the world.
Top Guns
Perhaps upset with the teams performance last season, alfa joined Top Guns, formerly Fully Torqued, the team that stole third from The Chess Club last season. Alfa's team ended (7-9-0), 6th in ESEA-I (Invite). Ironically, with the addition of clockwork, tri hards/The Chess Club managed to take establish third place in playoffs.
lost in translation/Exertus eSports/eLevate/Ascent/the "Ma3la" teams
Lost in translation, a newer team led by Ma3la, picked up alfa on Medic. Through tough practice, the team went (12-4-0), the score of a top invite team. Together, in playoffs, the team won third place in ESEA-I Season 16. Again, for ESEA-I Season 17, the team went (12-4-0), however was contested for third place by Street Hoops eSports, and took fourth instead. As ESEA-I Season 17 went by, eLevate took a perfect season and in playoffs, shocked North America, beating the world champions of the time, Classic Mixup. Classic Mixup disbanded as a result of this disappointing defeat. In ESEA-I Season 18, the team took a fair (11-5-0), but trumped an old rival, Street Hoops eSports, and the Mad Men. Unfortunately, alfa's TF2 career took a turn and he later participated in The Last Resort, a European team, after a brief break.
The Last Resort
Alfa, eager to participate in Insomnia55, replaced The Last Resort's roamer, ShaDowBurn. thesupremecommander writes, "His addition marks the first known intercontinental team playing in a LAN environment, and his knowledge of North American play will be a boon in helping counter their strategies during the intercontinental tournament." Although the team drew one of the top teams, froyotech, the team came fifth and alfa dropped the team immediately after the tournament.
Street Hoops eSports
alfa briefly filled in for ash, as he left to replace lansky on froyotech. The team finished 3rd in playoffs for ESEA-I Season 19.
Strawberry Mangoes/froyotech
As alfa was unable to join a team for ESEA-I Season 20, he created an invite team of newer talents, whom now have reformed to create the majority of froyotech. Expecting to make playoffs, the team ended up near the bottom of invite, unable to contest teams like alfa's former team, Ascent. During the season, alfa had issues between his parents and his playing of TF2, forcing him to switch roles with tagg, playing Roamer (without comms) instead of Pocket. Alfa could not communicate with his team during some matches, further decreasing hope for playoffs. The team disbanded shortly, as they could not guarantee themselves a spot in playoffs.
