Overview | Results |
James "yuki" Stanton was a competitive TF2 player who most known for playing Pocket for Team Immunity, which he led, although he initially played Demoman for them. He was voted as the best Soldier at Insomnia49, beating out Epsilon's Mike, and his performance was a major factor in Immunity's fourth place finish. During that tournament, he was repeatedly described as one of the best soldiers in the world, with his uber usage playing a large part in his team's success. His knowledge of the game (being able to play every class at a Premier Division level) made him one of the strongest main callers in both Australia and the rest of the world. Despite playing with well over 200 ping, he also played scout for The Runaway 5 in ESEA Season 15. He occasionally did some casting work for Teamfortress.TV as well.
He retired from Competitive TF2 in 2016 after ozfortress Season 15, one of the closest ozfortress seasons in the recent history, with ego: a team with many old Team Immunity players. He is currently in America playing professional Overwatch.
The following is an extract from yuki's forum column on the old ozfortress website circa March 2012:
"In December 2009, I was asked by amd to join a new team he was forming. I had heard word of players like bowt, sheep, goRe- to name a few, and was asked to play soldier. Hearing of a team with such familiar names of high tiered players (especially bowt, who I had always thought of the smartest guy in TF2) had me interested. I said I would join on the condition I would be able to play demoman, which was seen as an odd request since I had previously played soldier and had never played demoman before. Alas, amd agreed, and we went from there, and the new -A- was formed (we all hated the name but could never think of a new one so it stuck ;P)
Clan -A- picked up essentially from where dogz/pg(referring to previous Premier ozfortress team MAD DOGZ and pretty good) left off. Our first season was a bit shaky as we were players that had NEVER played together before (bar me and sheep). The core consisted of bowt and goRe (later sheep) on scout, aporia and cruger on soldier, myself on demoman, and amd (later bonobo) on medic. We were seen as the underdogs going into the OWL2 grand final - rewound were a team that had been around for a long time and had a solid lineup, especially with a monstrous scout like subtitled on their team. Losing the match of our previous encounter (Clansport Masters 2) was definitely a thorn in our sides. However, we-';/ were not fazed. Our focus was to minimise the effect that subtitled had on the match (who we believed was the main cause of our problems) and as testament of that - we were victorious and were crowned champions of Ozfortress Winter League 2.
Fast forward to now and not much has changed. We (now known as team immunity, with many roster changes throughout the seasons) have been dominant of the scene in Australia since our very first title victory in OWL2, and are looking to continue to further improve and hopefully one day make an impact on the international TF2 scene."
