Excerpt from Totalbiscuit: "I am fortunate to be in a position where I can undertake this sponsorship. The Starcraft community has given a lot to me and in turn I've had the opportunity to give back with SHOUTcraft Invitational. Now it is time to take it one step further and directly support a UK talent that I believe has the potential to be one of the best foreigners in the world."
Totalbiscuit is giving back to the UK SC2 scene by sponsoring someone he believes in, that is, Dignitas' Bling.
I always find it strange when casters sponsor players, like Tastosis (or, TheHandsomeNerd) sponsoring some players. I hope with this Bling can become even better, and lead the UK eSports scene. I am from the UK and it'd be nice to have a better eSports scene here.

Are you sure TheHandsomeNerd really sponsors anyone? I thought they just put shirts on their storefront as a win/win for Tastosis and the player/team but cutting the revenue.

TB really makes it hard to hate the guy, which I really did for quite awhile in the past. Consider me a fan now.

TheHandsomeNerd sponsors TSL.

good move. UK players need all the help they can get. I dont mean it in an arrogant way, but the scene over there seems so small, that it`s nice to see this kind of move, where a UK gaming personality supports a compatriot progamer. big ups and much success!

ahh yer i love bling and tb a perfect combo :D
|
unbelievable. TotalBiscuit truly does have a heart for esports as well for his home country. major props to TotalBiscuit, so bling I hope takes this opportunity and uses it well.
|
TB best rolemodel in esports
|
I guess that pretty much shuts up certain people saying he's just in SC2 for the money, huh? Go TB!
|
as ever WP TB, make it a big year Bling
|

Wow Very nice move by him. It's one thing to put your words and time in as support, but money is another thing.
Cheers to TB.

Totalbiscuit is such an insane baller. The does things is just amazing, and his honesty aswell.
Firstly, when after dreamhack winter where he wrote a blog and said he didn't really fit in the analyzing couch as he didn't really have the game knowledge, that highly impressed me. A lot of people are really cocky and think they are more capable than they are, especially after reaching such fame as TB has done. Secondly, the fact that when he've gotten an opportunity to make as much money as he can, he uses it for a variety of things that he believes in, and I'd argue that there are very few people who would ever give as much back as he does to the community if they themselves managed to make the money he does.
I'm througly impresed.

Like this very much, interesting move. Go TB, go UK, and Go Trampoline Protoss!
|
try harder TB.
User was warned for this post

Yet another reason why TB is a fucking baller. Cheers to this guy and cheers to Bling as well!
|
As much as I don't like your casting, I really cannot deny the fact that I think you're a great person.
TB you're truly an awesome guy.. Really you do so much for the community that it is amazing.
Thanks for everything you do!
