ArmaTeam (founded 1997) is a French e-sports organisation. It was one of the first of its kind in France and was relatively successful on the international stage until it disbanded in 2005. It was revived in 2017 in a different form on Hearthstone, and up until 2019, on Starcraft II. It then introduced other teams in some video games such as FIFA, League of Legends and Fortnite. It offers different WebTV channels focused on video games on Twitch, with the one dedicated to Hearthstone being among the most popular in France.]]

History
ArmaTeam was founded in 1997 and was one of the first French e-sports teams. Its players participated in Counter-Strike, Warcraft 3 and Unreal Tournament competitions, which were among the most popular competitive games in the early 2000s. Over time, the team won a lot of French and European competitions and it won the world Warcraft 3 championship in 2004.]] Several celebrities and famous players came up through ArmaTeam, such as ToD in 2004. Due to the impossibility of becoming a professional in France at that time, several players left the team in 2004, which then went through a number of restructurings. It eventually disbanded in 2005 because of a lack of motivation.

Since 2017: New structure, new teams and a WebTV
At the end of 2016, following a disagreement with their superior, Webedia, the Hearthstone section of Millenium decided to leave their former structure. Rémy "Llewellys" Chanson, the team manager and former member of the first ArmaTeam, wanted a new structure with a more human vision. The rebirth of ArmaTeam was announced on 26 December 2016 on Millenium's Twitch channel by Jérémie "Torlk" Amzallag. The organisation was inaugurated on 1 January 2017 on his new Twitch WebTv.

In the beginning, the team was composed of former members of Millenium's Hearthstone and Starcraft II teams. There was also an entertainment team, from Millenium, on the new WebTV devoted to Hearthstone. The channel was a resounding success and quickly became one of the most watched channels on Twitch in France. The organization moved to its new premises in Paris on 18 May 2017. ArmaTeam is an important player in the French-speaking e-sports scene, especially on Hearthstone, and regularly organizes various tournaments and events throughout France and other French-speaking countries.
