Dante "'''shade'''" F. was an [[:Category:American Players|American]] competitive Team Fortress 2 player who mained [[Medic]].
+
Dante '''"Shade"''' Funari is a competitive TF2 player who currently plays [[Medic]] for [[froyotech]]. He has played comp for a lengthy amount of time, mostly with [[b4nny]] and [[cyzer]]. After [[i49]] he took a break from the game, but returned to play Medic with froyotech. He is renowned for his uber-saving and force-denying gameplay on Medic.
 
 
Shade has been widely regarded as one of the best medics in the history of Team Fortress 2, and has been mostly playing with [[b4nny]] for all of his TF2 career. Shade's most notable performances as Medic were for teams such as [[High Rollers Gaming]] and [[froyotech]], which hardly ever lost a season of [[ESEA-I]]. His ability to 'milk' ubers and shoot crossbows with stunning accuracy and consistency vastly changed his team's overall performance.
 
 
 
==Team History==
 
===Beybladers===
 
Shade's known TF2 career started on an ancient team that competed in ESEA-O ''The Beyblayders''. Shade played [[Roaming Soldier]] for the team and brought great success to their first season of ESEA-O. The team ended the regular season (12-4-0), and placed 2nd in playoffs. The team outplayed other names such as [[xensity]], [[Vector Gaming]], and [[High Rollers Gaming]] (not to be confused with the ESEA-I and [[i49]] competitors of the same name).
 
 
 
===[[Don't Trip]]; The “tyrone” Teams===
 
Shade took a short break from competing in ESEA, and was later picked up as [[Medic]] by upcoming [[ESEA-I (Invite)]] team ''[[Don’t Trip]]'', or most commonly known as ''[[Leviathan Gaming]]''. Shade played the first match for Don’t Trip in the second week, and scored 4-0 against Mighty Ducks, a team consisting of both invite legends [[seanbud]] and [[Decimate]]. By the end of the season, [[Don’t Trip]] placed first in [[ESEA-I (Invite)]] playoffs, and finished the regular season (12-4-0). The team’s tight cohesion in the combo of [[b4nny]], [[tyrone]], and shade, became a key factor in their success, and one of the most powerful combos of their time. In [[Insomnia46]], both [[Classic Mixup]] and Leviathan Gaming asserted their dominance against the European teams. The team took on many different sponsorships, such as Quantic Gaming, Leviathan Gaming, and iT. The team also went through numerous flank classes, from [[blaze]] on [[Scout]] to [[Dave_AC]] on [[Soldier]].
 
 
 
===[[High Rollers Gaming]]; The “[[b4nny]]” Teams===
 
After [[ESEA-I Season 12|ESEA Season 12]], b4nny, shade, and [[cyzer]] left the team, forming [[bp]], signed by their sponsor, ''[[High Rollers Gaming]]''. They cherry-picked the best talent they could find, picking up [[Tagg]] from The Chess Club and [[Shrugger]] from [[Pinball Wizards]], as well as [[lansky]] from [[GOIN HEAVY]]. The team went 16-0 in the regular season before being noticed by High Rollers Gaming and getting sponsored by them for LAN. The team was completely dominant, except in [[i49]]. The team lost against the only European teams, [[broder]] and [[Epsilon E-Sports]]. Shortly after iT took up sponsorship for this team, Shade was unable to commit to a team and left. After various roster changes, iT went undefeated in the regular season, however they took second in one of the closest ESEA finals against [[Classic Mixup]].
 
 
 
===[[froyotech]]===
 
With the return of shade in [[ESEA-I Season 16]], along with [[b4nny]], the two created a new team under the name of [[froyotech]]. The two picked up [[clockwork]] and [[Ruwin]] on [[Scout]], [[blaze]] on [[Soldier]], and [[dummy]] on [[Demoman]]. Before the season started, [[Ruwin]] was cut, [[b4nny]] was put on [[Scout]], and the former pocket of [[High Rollers Gaming]], [[lansky]], became the last addition to the new team. The players asserted their dominance throughout ESEA-I Seasons 16 to 19, winning every final they faced. Besides winning ESEA-I titles, shade also went with the team to [[Insomnia55]], claiming first place. In [[ESEA-I Season 20]] playoffs, the team experienced issues between each other and were eliminated after losing a best of three against [[Ascent]] and [[Team Solo Uber]]. Shortly after this, the team decided to part ways and disband. After the disbandment, [[b4nny]] would remain along with the rest of [[Strawberry Mangoes]], and shade would play with the one season team [[FROYO BLACK]]. Shade would separate from the [[froyotech]] name until [[ESEA-I Season 23]], although ringing for the team on various occasions. Such as during [[ESEA-I Season 21]] in a match against [[Street Hoops eSports]], when shade replaced [[b4nny]] temporarily on [[Soldier]]. When shade did return, it was short-lived. Although the team did finish 1st in the season and win the ESEA-I final against [[EVL Gaming]], shade showed much interest in the game ''Paladins.'' His interest in the game fully came alive when he decided to leave [[froyotech]] once again, leaving [[Nursey]] to take his place. After leaving the team, shade would still pug, but as of early 2017, he does not seem to have the desire to find another team. Although, his absence on [[froyotech]]'s lineup had been described as only a break, by the team's leader: [[b4nny]].
 
 
 
===[[FROYO BLACK]]===
 
In hope of taking first place, shade formed a team full of high experience, FROYO BLACK. The team was based off the core of [[froyotech]] and [[High Rollers Gaming]], bringing in [[clockwork]], [[taggerung]], and [[cyzer]]. Although rumors had hinted on the possibility of a pickup of [[lansky]] and [[duwatna]], the team decided to pick up [[bl4nk]] and [[Hassassin]], two high level invite players to complete their roster. The team competed in [[ESEA-I Season 22]], where the group would finish 3rd. Shade would then leave the team to rejoin [[froyotech]], replacing [[phorofor]].
