=== Before TF2 ===
 
b4nny grew up in Bellevue, Washington. Before he played TF2, he played competitive Call of Duty 1, 2, and 4 in his middle school years. He was also interested in ''Unreal Tournament'', which brought him closer to the arena-style FPS games, like ''Quake'', that TF2 is based on. He has been playing TF2 since it was first released on the Orange Box, having pre-ordered the set in 2007.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea62tL7TSYg b4nny Interview by Tagg</ref>

After froyo's lacklustre performance on the biggest stage of TF2 b4nny sought to make changes within the team, [[TLR]] and [[phorofor]] were replaced with former players [[Blaze]] and [[Shade]] and so for the first time since Season 19 the core 3 of the dominant pre-breakup squad were reunited. [[hassassin]] also replaced the outgoing [[Muma]] who was starting to make waves in Overwatch. With b4nny still on the Scout role he and the team came out in force racking up 14 straight regular season victories until the streak was ended against [[EVL Gaming]] in a tight 4-5 game on Snakewater. They would finish the season 15-1 acquired the 1st seed in the playoffs. After comfortable victories against [[bird noises]] and EVL in the brackets froyo would eventually meet EVL again in the Grand Finals. froyo took out EVL in two straight maps 5-4 and 5-3 to earn b4nny's 12th ESEA-Invite title.

Following froyo's 3rd straight ESEA-Invite title b4nny was forced to make another change to the squad in preparation for the first ever intercontinental LAN on American soil. Shade was replaced by rising star [[Nursey]] for the Medic slot (despite Nursey being banned during s23 for account sharing). B4nny and froyo went undefeated in the group stages and didn't lose a single map on the way to meeting European team [[Se7en]] in the Grand Finals. Froyo won the bo5 series 3-2 and b4nny and the team became International champions once again, nearly two years after winning i55.
