Esports Arena Rewind LAN 2017, commonly referred to as Rewind, was the first Esports Arena Team Fortress 2 tournament. It was a 6v6 LAN event, held at the Esports Arena in Santa Ana, California, United States from 21 January 2017 to 22 January 2017.[1] Rewind is extremely notable for being the first intercontinental LAN event outside of the Insomnia Gaming Festival, and the first intercontinental LAN in North America. It was held very close to the median date between Insomnia58 and the projected date for Insomnia61, creating a bi-annual period for global 6v6 Team Fortress tournaments. Two non-North American teams attended the event, Se7en from Europe and Jasmine Tea from Australia.[2]
Rewind was split into two divisions, Invite and Open.[1] Prominent community figures b4nny and samiface were heavily involved in the organisation of the event.[2]
Se7en, having won the latest intercontinental event Insomnia58 (as Crowns eSports Club) were eliminated by froyotech following a five map Grand Final. Jasmine Tea finished fourth, unable to break the infamous "curse" of Australian teams finishing fourth at global events.
Prize pool
The prize pool was initially contributed to by Esports Arena ($2,000) and Marketplace.tf ($5,000).[1][3] This was further increased by crowdfunding, which raised $1,192 for the Invite division,[4] bringing the total prize pool to $8,192.
