Whilst I was aware of most of the story before the video, I love the content TB puts out for us and especially his SC2 stuff. All the best in America!

He already posted most of this on TL a while ago, it was in the middle of some thread though so it went largely unnoticed.

Either way, I have a tremendous amount of respect for his work (overall, not just Starcraft), the way he does things and the principles he sticks to.

Now that he doesn't have these issues to deal with, maybe he will have more time available, and can spend some of it learning about one of the games he commentates so his casting will improve.

Been a fan since he uploaded that first Cataclysm video of the Worgen starter area. He made a Red Dwarf reference... I immediately subbed to his channel. He's also the reason I bought Magicka. Big fan of his work, I know how much long distance can suck, I just had a year of it. Hope it all works out for him in the US.

and of course... there's the minor detail that he's now able to go to MLG's if he wants to... Sundance has said he'd love to work with him after all. TB - Day[9] casting at MLG

I remember first hearing of TB during his "I suck at Starcraft 2" VODs.

EDIT: Good guy, funny, and I wish him all the best in his endeavors.

Congratulations to TB and his family. I saw the story when it was first posted on TL a while after I was first acquianted with him due to his dreamhack casting. Hadn't heard of him before but I preferred his casting over even Day9 that day. He's done a lot for the community and I can't imagine how the past five years must've been like. Glad to see he's able to return to his family.

Wow, within about 20 minutes, TB has gone from someone i've respected to being admired for sticking to something for that for such a length of time. Gl in the US!

Glad to see he's almost finally through his hardships.
TB got me into Starcraft almost a year ago, ironically through the custom game Star Battle. He brought me my first awesome macro game (Socke vs. Morrow, I believe it was in a Bo7), gave me horrible Terran advice in his I Suck at Starcraft 2 series (fortunately, I didn't play terran) and gave me countless hours of laughs, thought-inducing opinion videos, awesome game reviews (joking, first impressions) and general awesomeness.

TB's had my respect from day 1.
His 'reports' so to speak were a lot different from others as mentioned in OP's video that grabbed me from the beginning.
My utmost respect and best of luck to him and his family from now on. I'm glad he's found his way out.

I had only seen a bit of his stuff before now. But with his recent appearance on SoTG and this video, I have to say he seems like a pretty awesome guy. Gonna have to go through and watch his stuff now.
