Husky's actually the co-founder with another guy, and he hasn't had a full time job for a while I believe (in contrast with some of the less popular channels that have announcements about "quitting" TGS and their day job for a full-time job on youtube). He probably doesn't own TGS though, it'd be kind of weird "being the boss of your roommate" like a fan had thought before getting a reply that basically laughed the idea off (I think it was Dodger's twitter). | ||

AFAIK TGS is kinda child company to Maker Studios, which is big company. Husky was at the conception of project - but the means came from Maker Studios. About funding: YT can make good money for living, but not nearly enough for eSport team, not even if you take TGS in consideration. Therefore they really need sponsors (ideally with US-AND-Korea market) to keep team running. TB and Genna said they want give salary to players which is something not common in Korea right now. And IIRC sending ONE player at MLG cost in thousands of dollars... No way they could keep it up with just YT channel. (With consideration, that TB is _loosing money_ by doing SC2 content.) | ||

I'm so excited and overwhelmed at the same time, but all of the initial reactions are so positive. Thank you again. I hope we can bring you some exciting games in the near future. I was waiting for this for a while and I must thank you very much for your effort. Loved CranK at MLG and I'm really looking forward seeing Axiom compete and win at as much venues as possible. | ||

From what I can tell it looks to be a collection of youtube channels as well like machinima, whereas tgs is like that too except it's gaming focused. Is it like jtv/twitch? Maker studios for general youtube channels and tgs for gaming focused ones? | ||

Not too much info about Maker Studios online and it's kinda Off Topic here, but something here: Wiki page of Maker Studios | ||

But TB doesn't understadn how Korean E-sports works, and that could cause some problems in the future if he isn't willing to make some compromises when it comes to his players. Like I worry a bit about him trying to get players from teams that are in Korean teams already, such as Ryung and others. Doing this would cause some tension as well, as Korean teams are rather paranoid about this, since they don't have the funds foreign teams have. They always fear their players are going to be poached. TB needs to be careful about this. plus I do wonder how exactly will they build this team, other than taking well established talents from other teams, how will they actually raise new talents up? Do they have a coach or telent scout in Korea actually looking for the teamless amatuers that may very well be the next big things. Thats what Koreans teams do now, and thats why they have been successful. Like I said before, I don't doubt their intentions, but I do rather doubt that they know the right way to go about it in Korea, and not step on any other Korean teams toes. I know when Fnatic came to Korea, they stepped on a lot of people's toes, and got a number to people to dislike them. I worry TB might end up doing the same, not on purpose, but just out of lack of understanding. | ||
