Team Fortress 2: throwback reforms, syck & anime find homes

By: Everett Wells - Published May 08, 2009 at 1:22 AM EDT - Writer Archive
Rosters continue to shift and change as the opening week of ESEA approaches.
(GotFrag) - Some familiar faces who've in the past held tags like focaL and Dynamic have reformed under the name United States throwback, and will be competing in the ESEA S3 Open Division which gets underway next week. They are, of course, not to be confused with the current Canada focaL, nor any future form of Dynamic that may be formed - they are simply throwback, and they are awesome.

throwback:
United States Brian "-novice-" Yoo
United States Evan "ApplePie84" C
United States Brian "Chronic" Engle
United States Russell "g0atrly" Borduin
United States Adrian "MoJo^" Chai
United States Joe "sequel-" Levash
United States Wesley "WesleyGibson" Gibson

Also in the player-roster-team-changing-stuff news, former United States coL scout Ryan "sycknesS" Mitchell, who recently left the team, has appeared under the United States Apoplexy Industries name, shoring up an already solid-looking roster.

UPDATE: Just to clarify, this is just a temporary move for Ryan, who is eager to play in the next ESEA-I season but has made no final decisions on which team he'll remain with. sycknesS is also playing with the pug team United States Gay For God alongisde TheFragile, bLackstar, Orzo, justin, TecH, brenden & pokey for the upcoming CEVO OCZ Tournament.

Apoplexy Industries:
United States M "badonkykong" W
United States Andrew "creeep" Jamieson
United States D "DLMan" L
United States Patrick "l1tany" Goulden
United States Bill "Scruff" Molnor
United States Ryan "sycknesS" Mitchell
United States R "ww-" C

And finally, longtime utility player Mithun "animeman" Balachandran has also found a home after the breakup of the most recent Dynamic roster mentioned earlier - Pandemic has decided to pick up former Eximius/eMg star, who has (as far as my memory served) played Soldier, Medic, Demoman and probably Scout for a variety of different teams throughout his career. The question is, will Mithun be playing a backup role or is one of Pandemic's starters moving on?

Pandemic.TF2:
United States Mithun "animeman" Balachandran
United States Daniel "carnagejohnson" Sturdivant
United States C "e" Y
United States E "glue" A
United States Michael "Jaeger" Marcin
United States Kyle "relic^" Mims
United States Manny "SoLIDSnaKE" Sy

Dunno why we have news on people switching teams when it can fluctuate so much any given day.

Nice to see some players coming back with the new switchback team though.

Also, I think AI needs more scouts.

Major players coming back into the game is a big thing :3

#10's got it, at the moment since the leagues haven't started yet, I figured news about rosters is better than random opinion pieces that essentially say "rk is awesome".
