Global eSports Management (GEM) has launched its official website http://gem.gg/. The name became known in the SC2 scene since MC started wearing GEM shirts when attendings events, but not much else was known about the agency.

The official website answers several questions about the organization. GEM is managed by Tobias "Tumba" Sherman, Min-Sik "reis" Ko and Hwanni Kim and was founded in November 2013. Tumba co-founded and managed the eSports Management Group (EMG) before, which has been stated on the GEM website as "defunct". It seems that all (SC2) clients from EMG have joined GEM with the exception of (Z)IdrA who stopped his SC2 career.

Starcraft 2-related clients:

Players:
(T)Bomber
(T)Mvp
(Z)Leenock
(P)MC
(Z)mOOnGLaDe
(Z)NesTea
(P)White-Ra
(Z)RagnaroK

Casters:
(P)Artosis
Tasteless

They're agents. Or that's the way they billed themselves as EMG.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Ah, finally it is announced! The things Min-Sik is doing with MC and Siv are pretty awesome and naturally Tobias is king.
I think the Moon thing was partially thanks to GEM and Hwanni, no?

http://www.ongamers.com/articles/global-esports-management-launches-with-impressive-client-roster-interview-with-co-founder/1100-1019/

OnGamers reported it like a week ago.

To help with their intended rapid expansion, GEM have announced the launch of a gaming house in Düsseldorf, Germany, which gives an indication of their vision for the expansion of the esports scene. It will include "pro-grade computers, catering, off-hours entertainment and even maid services" and will be used as a training point for the clientele of GEM to train for events such as IEM Katowice, Dreamhack and other major European tournaments. This is a large investment and results of their clientele will tell the tale of whether or not it is successful.

Along with their news about the gaming house comes the news that GEM will be constructing a full-scale video production studio located in Seoul, South Korea. With full broadcasting capabilities similar to the studio of GOMeXP, it will provide a base for both foreign as well as local talent to work from within Seoul – allowing the production of high-quality content to be created on behalf of their clients.

That sounds really sick actually. ;o

Thank you for this!

For instance, GEM have expanded into both Hearthstone and the fighting game scene; picking up community favorites Mike Ross and Gootecks, as well as professional Hearthstone players Jan 'Ek0p' Palys, Marcin 'Gnimsh' Filipowicz and Jeffrey 'Trump' Shih. These additions show GEM’s understanding of the currently growing esports scenes in both games - these additions may prove to be wise ones.


WOOT! Sick city!

That's an interesting possibility actually, but wouldn't the other BH players have to get signed by GEM first, or is that not how that would work?

LastShadow's not that strange when you consider he's super good friends with Artosis and Tasteless, hangs out with them a lot, and has played Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm with Artosis numerous times, the former of which at quite a high level too. He also tweeted that he was the first to reach level 40 in the HotS closed "technical alpha" so there's that too I guess.

He's still lurking in the shadows but who knows where he'll go with the way the new Blizzard games are looking right now. ;o

HotS bonjwa inc? xD

No idea, nobody heard anything from First and Yoda after they lost in WCS EU. No idea what they were up to or anything. Maybe MC can get them there with his Audi money
