'''Team Ben''' is a [[crew]] which 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). Team Ben developed rivalries with [[DA]], [[H2YL]], and later, [[Team Arlington]].

'''Team Ben''' is a [[crew]] from Maryland, founded in 2003 by [[Smasher:Wife|Wife]], [[Smasher:Oro|Oro]] and [[Smasher:Kenny Johnson|Kenny Johnson]], three childhood friends. At their debut tournament, Live or Die, Kenny Johnson was caught unprepared when asked what the crew's name was, so he spurted out that they were called "Team Ben", in memory of a dear departed friend who played the game with them. The crew didn't start to gain notoriety until [[Smasher:Husband|Husband]], a friend of Wife and Oro, joined in 2005, at which point Husband, Wife and Oro began traveling all over America to attend as many large tournaments as possible, enjoying great success wherever they went. 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.


Often associated with Team Ben is another long-time friend, [[Bach]], who made several montages and went on to work for the [[Video On Demand]] section for [[Major League Gaming]].  
At the 2006 season premier of Major League Gaming, the crew had the most members it has ever had at one time, they were backed by a sponsorship deal with White Castle, and they had come to be known to smashers all across the nation for their skill and fierce competitiveness - it was probably the prime of Team Ben's career.


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.

Team Ben is a crew from Maryland, founded in 2003 by Wife, Oro and Kenny Johnson, three childhood friends. At their debut tournament, Live or Die, Kenny Johnson was caught unprepared when asked what the crew's name was, so he spurted out that they were called "Team Ben", in memory of a dear departed friend who played the game with them. The crew didn't start to gain notoriety until Husband, a friend of Wife and Oro, joined in 2005, at which point Husband, Wife and Oro began traveling all over America to attend as many large tournaments as possible, enjoying great success wherever they went. 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.

At the 2006 season premier of Major League Gaming, the crew had the most members it has ever had at one time, they were backed by a sponsorship deal with White Castle, and they had come to be known to smashers all across the nation for their skill and fierce competitiveness - it was probably the prime of Team Ben's career.
