I've been out of the SC2 scene for a while and I dont even know who Bling is but with TB backing him I'm suddenly rooting for the kid and actually excited to follow him as a player. Great respect to Total Biscuit

TotalBiscuit is awesome, got a lot of respect for him and this just increases it. He really does put a lot in.

Really good for the UK scene too, I'd love SC2 to get bigger here.

All hail TB!

Luckily I don't read the forums as much as I watch streams/VOD's, reading the retarded hate posts about him boggles my mind. I've always liked TB since the first time I saw him. Even when his game knowledge wasn't substantial, there was alot of charisma surrounding him that gave me interests to catch as many of his casts as I can.

TB TB TB TB!

Sounds cool. Although I think it would wrong to say that people think he's just in eSports for the money (honestly, what money?). I just think some people, like myself, dislike his casting. He's not a Starcraft player and knows very little about the game. However, I've always considered him a positive figure in the community. He brings in the lowly denizens of the youtube communities and gets them tuning in. Their CPM impressions are just as valuable as anyones.

Bling needs to at least turn up to events sporting a top hat after this. Only seems proper.

This is such a cool move. There's really no bullshit in you TB, I appreciate that a lot.

You're truly a character in addition to the services you offer (casting, wtf is, mailbox, etc).

TB hosts tournaments with price money from his own pocket.
Gives donations to several tournaments.
Promotes donating to people like day9 instead of himself.
Sponsors a player on his own

QFT.

Alot 'older' people from bw era didnt quite like TB (most of them are not too involved tbh) for some unknown reasons and bm TB. doesnt matter if TB is trying to prove them wrong or not, in the end of the day, all i see is that he has done more (or should i say more actions than talking) than some of those (real money grabbing) hypocrites out there.
