[Empire]Kas
"Kas' RTS career began with WarCraft 3. He only started playing it at a late stage (2007-2010) but soon became a strong player before the release of Starcraft II and winning 3 ZOTAC cups. Being a Human player in WarCraft, he picked Terran for Starcraft II. After numerous cup victories, he was the first player, aside from the seeded ones, to qualify for the TSL3 through winning the TL Open #8.
Kas has a very conservative playstyle developed through practice on ladder. Due to the nature of ladder and playing large numbers of players that he might be unfamiliar with, Kas has developed a safe style to survive, which lends greatly to his Big-Bracket success in best of one series.
[mYi]Kane

[Grav]Kreos
“Jason "Kreos" Jackson started playing off and on after the release of WoL as his first ever RTS. During the summer he decided to take SC2 more seriously and broke into GM every season since, placing as high as 19th on the ladder. Kreos recently placed 3rd in the Gameclucks LAN in Seattle, Washington on September 21st. Kreos is now regularly streaming on twitch with commentary on his games, be sure to check him out!"
Neeb
"Alex “Neeb” Sunderhaft is a Terran player who has played SC2 since late 2011. Before SC2 he played League of Legends, but never really liked team games so he switched. Before competing in SC2, Neeb enjoyed watching pros play quite a bit, which motivated him to keep playing and practicing. A little over a year ago he hit Grandmaster, and now he can consistently stay in the top 16. In addition to his ladder success, Neeb has also been in the WCS NA Premier league twice.”
[Grav]Serenity
“Johannes "Serenity" Seifert began playing SC2 a year after the release of WoL. While playing WoL rather casually in EU (favoring team games to 1v1s) he started playing HotS more competitively on ladder in NA (after moving to the US). Ever since he's secured a consistent spot in GM and seeks to improve further.”
[Deimos]Guitarcheese
"Alex "GuitarCheese" Tarkoff is an American Zerg player. GuitarCheese has been a top Grandmaster since Wing of Liberty, and holding the spot since then, always being a high NA player. He has participated in events like the red bull battlegrounds, where he took down Cabertoss and Apocalypse, falling to Scarlett 1-2. Also events like IEM Season VIII - New York, and 2013 MLG spring Championship.”

LzGaMeR
“Jake “LzGaMeR” Winstead is a competitive gamer who was born and raised in Louisiana USA. He has been playing RTS games competitively since the days of Brood War. LzGaMeR was on teams such as Evil Geniuses for many years. He has passion for this game and a love for this community.
Tampa eSports' Shadow
"Shadow is an astrophysicist, currently studying distant radio galaxies using interferometry at USF. The goal of the research is to determine if there is a pattern to the orientation of radio galaxies throughout the universe or if it is simply random. This will give us further insight into the origin of the universe.
He is also a self-employed software and hardware engineer. Shadow was a Masters Terran near the end of WoL but has since switched primarily to coaching his five man team and running the Starcraft 2 and sponsorship divisions of Tampa eSports. He says he is particularly drawn to Starcraft 2 by its extraordinarily high skill ceiling. It gives him many opportunities to develop optimum learning, coaching and training strategies, as the functioning of the brain is another area he's particularly interested in.
Shadow announces every live cast/coaching corner he does on his twitter @rmdeluca. Most of his Starcraft 2 content is hosted at twitch.tv/tampaesports and youtube.com/tampaesports."

Tampa eSports
Founded in early 2013, Tampa eSports aims to bring together the local gaming community to play and compete with each other. Tampa eSports was originally started by a small group of Starcraft 2 players who wanted to bring the LAN experience to Tampa Bay. However because of the overwhelming feedback from the community, Tampa eSports has expanded to include other games like League of Legends, DotA 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in its future events, both offline LAN and online.
Tampa eSports is a grassroots organization looking to promote eSports and help the local gaming community grow.
"I am sponsoring the Team Gravity showmatches because I see a solid NA team in Team Gravity and want to help increase its success." - Rob "Shadow" DeLuca - Tampa eSports Starcraft 2 Director & Coach
