EPTFounded in 2005 TCM-Gaming (TCM) has been a professional gaming team and a marketing/media company with its HQ in the UK, with years of experience in the scene and many championship titles under their belts in games such as Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Halo and Battlefield. It has taken a while for TCM to delve into the Starcraft 2 scene but we wanted to take our time and choose players who represent our brand and share the same goals as us.
Starcraft 2 is the number one real-time strategy game with tournaments worldwide including the prestigious World Championship Series (WCS). The WCS is a series of events organised by or in cooperation with Blizzard Entertainment, featuring $1.6 million invested in the prize pool and spread out among multiple events throughout the year.
We are pleased to announce that Hyun Woo 'First' Kang and Byung Hyun 'YoDa' Choi will be representing TCM in the European WCS as well as all future Starcraft 2 events! You will be seeing the duo at various events including WCS, Dreamhack, Intel Extreme Masters, HomeStory Cup and more!
Both First and YoDa come from the respected and well known Incredible Miracle team and have achieved fantastic results in the past. Together with TCM the players will be living in the GEM house in Germany and will be practicing hard with some of the best players in the world in order to achieve great success under their new team.

We are also pleased to announce that with our two great players we will be adding some new staff to look after the division.
James ‘BanKs’ Banks – Team Manager – BanKs has been involved in Starcraft 2 since its release, first working with ZOWIE GEAR and BenQ before going on to manage the successful Korean pro team StarTale. We are confident that BanKs’ experience and skills will be vital to the success of the team, especially when it comes to what the players need.
Robert ‘Pughy’ Pugh – Technical advisor & commentator – Pughy started off his Starcraft 2 career as an extremely capable player within the UK, due to his great analyst skills he made the transition into a commentator and has since commentated i-series, Gfinity G3 and various online tournaments and cups. With TCM by his side we look forward to working on some new tournaments with Pughy and using his great knowledge of Starcraft 2 to help our players and the team.

"I expected people to be worried about this announcement but I have full faith and confidence in TCM, they have been around for a long time and you won't find anyone who has a bad word to say about them. The players and GEM were happy with this move and so am I.
Hopefully we can win the communities trust
