The 14th season of ESEA and the 11th season ESEA TF2 Invite started on May 14, 2013, and ran until August 25, 2013.

Teams

High Rollers Gaming (16-0)

Roster
Scouticon.png Scout cyzer
Scouticon.png Scout shrugger
Roamericon.png Roamer Taggerung
Pocketicon.png Pocket lansky
Demomanicon.png Demoman b4nny
Medicicon.png Medic shade

The HRG roster remained unchanged after their unbeaten run in Season 13. They were considered heavy favourites going into LAN as the team went unbeaten yet again in the regular season, dropping only 15 rounds in 16 games.


tri hards (14-2)

Roster
Scouticon.png Scout clockwork
Scouticon.png Scout boomer
Roamericon.png Roamer blaze
Pocketicon.png Pocket tri
Demomanicon.png Demoman dummy
Medicicon.png Medic kbk

This team is a continuation of sorts of the Season 13 Chess Club squad. After Don't Trip's demise in Season 13, the team picked up clockwork on Scout and blaze on Roaming Soldier. tri hards lost only to HRG over the course of the regular season. There was controversy over dummy's Demoman spot, as the tri hards squad apparently refused to scrim with him, due to his tendency to rage. He did not attend LAN. Instead boomer moved from Scout to Demo and Hero, who had been backing up through out the season took boomers place on Scout.


Classic Mixup (12-4)

Roster
Scouticon.png Scout enigma
Scouticon.png Scout mo0se
Roamericon.png Roamer harbleu
Pocketicon.png Pocket Platinum
Demomanicon.png Demoman A_Seagull
Medicicon.png Medic smaka

Season 14 saw yet another overhaul of the Mixup squad, as Yz50 and Ruwin left the team. enigma moved back from Roaming Soldier to Scout, and his scouting partner of seasons old mo0se return to fill the spot. After a long period of playing Demoman, Platinum moved back to his old main - Pocket Soldier. harbleu also went back to play Soldier, picking up the Gunboats yet again. To round off the roster, the team picked up A_Seagull, formerly from Fully Torqued, who debuted in Invite as Demoman, and smaka on med after dropping mason who played the first several matches.


Apocalypse Gaming (11-5)

Roster
Scouticon.png Scout Kapoww
Scouticon.png Scout squid
Roamericon.png Roamer Boink
Pocketicon.png Pocket rando
Demomanicon.png Demoman Sweater
Medicicon.png Medic indust+

The Apocalypse Gaming roster stayed in Season 14 Invite, despite finishing last in Season 13. The team picked up indust on Medic, who made the leap from Open to Invite. Sweater took up the Demoman's spot after Chriz Tah Fah left after S13. Apocalypse Gaming also played with TLR, formerly of Classic Mixup, to sub for Boink during Gravel Pit week.


Mad Men (8-8)

Roster
Scouticon.png Scout YouMustMike
Scouticon.png Scout Seymoo
Roamericon.png Roamer MemphisVon
Pocketicon.png Pocket bl4nk
Demomanicon.png Demoman rr-
Medicicon.png Medic Nosferatu

Mad Men were promoted to Invite after their successful run in Season 13 Intermediate. The roster stayed unchanged from Season 13, although during the season snoopy was replaced with Seymoo due to lack of dedication.


Top Guns (7-9)

Roster
Scouticon.png Scout alfa
Scouticon.png Scout seanbud
Roamericon.png Roamer relic
Pocketicon.png Pocket zbryan
Demomanicon.png Demoman PYYYOUR
Medicicon.png Medic ninjanick

Known in the previous season as Fully Torqued, Top Guns struggled with roster issues. Their previous medic, TheFragile, couldn't play the season. After justin's departure, the team picked up carnage, but he left due to clashes in personality despite playing well. Relic was also unable to play due to a trip to Taiwan for several weeks, forcing their backup grape to play Roamer.


Solace eSports (6-10)

Roster
Scouticon.png Scout Giffy
Scouticon.png Scout Bdonski
Roamericon.png Roamer Panic
Pocketicon.png Pocket milo
Demomanicon.png Demoman xalox
Medicicon.png Medic chimpfeet

The newly-formed Solace eSports roster was given a place in Invite, due to the division expanding to 10 teams.


Runaway 5 (5-11)

Roster
Scouticon.png Scout downpour
Scouticon.png Scout yuki
Roamericon.png Roamer Skarlett
Pocketicon.png Pocket djc
Demomanicon.png Demoman duwatna
Medicicon.png Medic theoverseer

The Runaway 5 were given a Invite spot after finishing second in Intermediate, losing in the playoffs finals to Mad Men. While they started out the season with Ma3la, he left to backup for Chill To Good Ratio in ESEA-IM and was subsequently replaced with djc.


ROOT PLUS SIX (1-15)

Roster
Scouticon.png Scout megawac
Scouticon.png Scout Loronix
Roamericon.png Roamer marmadukeGRYLLS
Pocketicon.png Pocket Rick
Demomanicon.png Demoman unf
Medicicon.png Medic Stratovarius


Vector Gaming (0-16)

Roster
Scouticon.png Scout phife
Scouticon.png Scout Hibachi
Roamericon.png Roamer mile
Pocketicon.png Pocket jaybenaduchi
Demomanicon.png Demoman DougyG
Medicicon.png Medic foster

In the absence of ninjanick, the team struggled to find a new medic, originally picking up Mr. Slin, who left due to having difficulty meshing with the team, they picked up foster, who had played Scout on Runaway 5 in IM the previous season, later. The team was forced to drop late in the season due to multiple players' unavailability.
