| − | Dante | + | Dante '''"shade"''' Funari is a competitive TF2 player who played [[Medic]] for various invite TF2 Teams. 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 performance overall. |

Shade played [[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). |

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]]. | 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]]''.

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]]. | After [[ESEA-I Season 12|ESEA Season 12]], b4nny, shade, and [[cyzer]] left the team, forming [[bp]], signed by their sponsor, ''[[High Rollers Gaming]]''.

The team picked up invite legends including [[clockwork]] and [[Ruwin]] on [[Scout]], [[blaze]] on [[Soldier]], and [[dummy]] on Demoman. The team later decided to cut Ruwin, put b4nny on Scout and bring in former pocket of High Rollers Gaming, lansky. The team asserted their raw dominance from season 16 to 19, winning every ESEA Invite final within this period. He also went with the team to the largest international tournaments of TF2, [[Insomnia55]], taking first place in a rather dominant style. In Season 20 playoffs, froyotech experienced issues with their teammates during gameplay and was eliminated when they lost in a best of three against [[Ascent]] and [[Team Solo Uber]]. Shortly after this, the team decided to part ways and disband. [[b4nny]] and [[clockwork]] currently remain along with what remains of [[Strawberry Mangoes]]. Although shade’s place has been taken by [[ninjanick]], he has made it clear that he had intention of rejoining the team, through various tweets from his [https://twitter.com/@royotech twitter account] |
