The team formed in order to help cohesion in their planned Overwatch team and played only official matches. Despite this, the team placed second. numlocked currently plays for Creation eSports' Overwatch team.
Team history
Numlocked started playing high level TF2 in the team Vale, where he played for nearly a year before moving to Team Onlinegamer where he played a season in Division 5, after a season playing at a lower level he went back to higher level TF2, this time playing for TCM. He played in TCM until Season 10, where he joined Team Infused. Numlocked played for Infused for 3 seasons before finally moving to Epsilon eSports after Insomnia46. For the next ETF2L Seasons, numlocked and Epsilon eSports became legendary after winning Seasons 13, 14 and 15, conceding one single map against Broder in the Season 14 Grand Final. After this successful period of time, it was time for Insomnia49, where Epsilon claimed to be the best team in the world, with numlocked as demoman.
After i49, numlocked stayed in Epsilon eSports to win Season 16. Later on, as Epsilon disbanded for Season 17, he joined Autobots for some games and then left the game to play League of Legends. In early 2015, numlocked joined SUAVE, which formed as a combination of some former Epsilon eSports and other Premiership players to win Season 20. He then retired from Team Fortress 2, but returned with #tf2center to play in Season 22. The team did not scrim or practice for the season, intending only to improve teamwork for their future planned Overwatch team. The team placed second, despite the lack of practice, but quickly disbanded. Numlocked is currently playing for a top Overwatch team, Creation eSports.
With the English 6v6 National Team, numlocked has been as successful as in the team's career, having reached the semifinals in ETF2L Nations Cup #2. He also won 2011 ESL Nations Cup against Germany and ETF2L Nations Cup #3 against Sweden in 2012
