'''Team Ben''' is a [[crew]] founded in 2003 by high school friends from Ellicott City, MD. They stood out from other crews not only for their success in tournaments, but also for the number of tournaments they attended and the distance they were willing to travel in order to attend them. Husband was the overall most traveled Smasher during 2005 & 2006, while Bach and Oro went abroad to Sweden and Japan. Other claims to fame include Wife for his commentary and later for his narration in ''[[The Smash Brothers]]'' documentary, Husband for his public callouts, and Bach for his tournament montages.
'''Team Ben'''


Coinciding with the Golden Age of Melee, the crew would grow grew to many as six members, earn a sponsorship from White Castle, and enjoy brief affiliation with Team Carbon. In the Platinum Age, Team Ben has only two active members: Husband and Wife.

Team Ben debuted at Live Or Die in the fall of 2003. Caught unprepared, their former manager [[Kenny Johnson]] spurted out that they were called "Team Ben," after the memory of a departed friend who played the game with them. Present at that tournament was Kenny, Wife, and Oro, all childhood friends. In 2005, Wife and Oro began playing seriously along with long-time friend Husband. The trio began their rise to the top by travelling to various tournaments around the country. At the time, Team Ben stood out because of the frequency and distance that they travelled (something that was not as commen then as it is now).
 
In 2006 the trio added Maryland great [[Neo]] to the roster, and eventually [[Chillindude829]]. At the 2006 season premier of [[Major League Gaming]], the team was together and fiercly competitive. Backed by a sponsorship deal with White Castle, this was probably the prime of Team Ben's career, celebrated in this article done by MLG:
