Narrative:

During takeoff just before the 100 knots call out; we heard a loud bang and the airplane vibrated. I aborted takeoff; checked engine instruments; and the engine had high egt-- close to limit.ecias indicated engine fail left. Another flight reported a large flame that came out of the left engine during the event. We came to a slow taxi and turned off the runway. We made an announcement for flight attendants and passengers to remain seated. After exiting the runway; we stopped and did checklists: we did engine fail left checklist; then we did engine limit surge stall checklist. We had N1 and N2 rpm near normal. The left engine instruments stayed within normal range at idle except egt was high; but was still below limit. If I advanced the left engine past idle; we got high egt temperatures.we checked the brake temperatures and they were within limits. We taxied back to the gate with the engine at idle due to high gross weight. I spoke with dispatch and a human factors representative for a debrief on the event.

Title: During takeoff a B777 left engine compressor stalled so the Captain rejected the takeoff. The engine had developed a high EGT and the EICAS alerted ENGINE FAIL L so the ENGINE FAIL and SURGE STALL Checklists were accomplished with a returned to the gate.
