It's a management agency. Artosis and Tasteless are clients of said agency. I assume they handle things like bookings, promotion, contracts, etc. In most other industries, everyone of their calibre is represented.

This is not a news article. I could write about an ant I once had named Roger, would responses to that mean that people care a lot about ants?
Someone brought up something that he thought people would like to know about on a forum, no need to be like that.
On topic: I don't really see why casters affiliate themselves with teams apart from the people who cast their teams own tournaments :/

that would make them agents, and the people they manage would be clients.

Yeah, casters getting agents does not exactly sound like a newsworthy thing but probably not everyone holds the same opinion.

This sort of thing should have happened a lot sooner. It's funny to me that Tumba and his lawyer friend were the ones to get the ball rolling.

This is good for Artosis, he needs more time for the baby and teaching me about hotkeys. If people can help him book flights, set up hotels and explain how google works, its better for all of us.

tasteless is in there too?

Yes, Tasteless was the first caster in their stable. He mentions this in his real talk episode. I would reccommend watching that, not just because he talks about this, but its interesting in general as there usually isnt much about the personal life of Tasteless. For instance he says that he hasn't lost his passion as many have speculated. Since he also talks about the Tastetosis brand its not surprising to see Artosis get picked up as well.
