Team Fortress 2: ESEA-Invite All-Star Game

By: Everett Wells - Published November 05, 2009 at 7:48 PM EST - Writer Archive
With the Grand Finals just around the corner, the ESEA takes a break from the playoffs to host the first ever TF2 All-Star Game!
(GotFrag) - While the ESEA-Invite Season 4 has come to an end for all but two teams, there's still one last shot at glory for those players lucky enough (or popular enough) to be chosen for the inaugural ESEA-Invite All-Star Game. That's right, that random forum post by ESEA|ehFk right here on the GotFrag TF2 Forums has finally come to fruition as two teams made up of players from 4 different (playoff team) rosters have been split into ESEA-Invite All-Star East and West teams.

Considering who will be facing off in the Grand Finals in a soon-to-be-figured-out-and-announced date, you'd expect most of the players to come from either Canada Evil Geniuses or United States Loaded - which, as it turns out, is pretty much how it went down. EG has an astonishing five members of its starting six split between the East and West teams, while Loaded landed three spots and their recently deposed rivals United States 20ID with three spots of their own. The final spot (if you were doing the math) went to a little soldier who could, SureShot, who started out on the
Canada LIGHTNINGBOLT! roster at the beginning of Season 4 before hopping on the United States Strickland Propane gravy train (now MoB Gaming) and performing well enough to land himself a roster spot.

The match format has yet to be decided (best of three vs one map - I'm sure we all want the former) as the players themselves will have the final say, while the server info and potential-SpecTV are also at the time of writing this a mystery. One assumes that the match will be played either on ESEA's own servers (and therefore have a SpecTV) or one of litany's many lavish Apoplexy Industries servers (which will therefore also have a SpecTV available), but until we get official word I guess you'll just have to constantly refresh this page until an update is made - GOGOGO! :)

Full team rosters are below: (you'll note that the "East" team is dominated by Canadians (medics don't count :P) - just saying)

UPDATE: Looks like Reptile needed a .sub, so relic from Loaded has stepped in.
