Is there public info on what this sponsorship will mean for BlinG? Would be interesting to know whether it is salary, travel or just sleeping on TB's couch :D

Pretty uncommon to see a caster sponsor a player but it's kind of a cool fit since they're both from the UK and TB wants to help that scene.

TB was great with his first WoW Podcasts and his content so far was a pleasure to listen to or watch, his dedication and commitment with throwing money into the SC2 pro community in my opinion just shows that he really has a nice personality and that there is nothing fake about it.

I hope he won't lose his energy and enthusiasm (and viewership to get the money) for a long time, keep going TB!

I'm not the hugest of Bling fans though, but hes a funny guy and a crazy good trampoline acrobat, that alone is a reason to support him!

It started in the pub a late night.
*BLing looking into wallet* "Got to withdraw more money, be right back!"
"Don't worry, beers on me Bing.... Bling..." *looks down in empty glass* "Bong! Right, Blong. Beers will always be on me, don't you worry Blong."

Anyways, very nice TB, much love!

And GL Bling with your new sponsor!

It's great to see support for the UK scene, big props to TB for this. Truly a baller! Congratulations to Bling, he deserves it with how well he's playing as of late.

Some people seem to really hate TB, but he really does put his money where his mouth is as far as support. I was really surprised that he is able to run Shoutcraft tournaments out of his own revenue (He normally makes his money with views on stream and youtube, I think, So giving up an entire tournement's take is pretty substantial), but now I am even more supprised that he can just fork over sponsership money to a player.

Great stuff, TB!

I've gotta admit that as much as I'm not really a fan of TB's style, he does a lot of good stuff. Now we just need to buy him lessons so he knows more about what he's seeing when casting.

Even though I don't follow SC2 at all closely, that is an awesome move by TB.

Erm, no offense but I really think BlinG isnt going to be one of the top 5 Foreginers for a looong time.

I really hate how TotalBiscuit has made switch from disliking him to loving him in the period of a few months. Even as an analytic caster he's climbing up the ranks faster than most people acknowledge. I think he's becoming like those D- players you'd see in a BW live reports who gained so much knowledge by actively watching games their analysis of how a game would develop was better than B- players.
