What does TCM stand for?

This is a question we find ourselves being asked time and time again; and we also sometimes find ourselves being refferred to incorrectly.

TCM-Gaming is our name, our brand and our identity. To keep it simple it stands for nothing, we are simply TCM-Gaming.

Yes, you are correct, we were once called Team Cooler Master, who were our title sponsor from 2007 until 2010; when we rebranded. Upon our relaunch we retained the name as which we had become known, TCM, with it we retained our brand recognition whilst also allowing us to work with a wider variety of partners moving forward.

We are proud of our history, we are proud of where we are now as TCM-Gaming, and we are proud of where we are headed into the future.

=]

But yes, they are still one of our sponsors.

Sorry, pet hate of mine. <3
Thanks for the support guys.


My apologies sir. I knew you as Coolermaster back in COD2 days and then COD4. Many a game played against your various teams back then.

Good news, a home for YoDa and First and a new team in the sc2 scene . Good luck!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Certainly no need for apologies!...

No offence intended with that little ranty-esque post, it's just best to try and clarify now, as we still have some casters etc calling us by our former name. Which can cause confusion.

COD4, those were the days.

I wonder if MC will join a team too. It would be awesome if he went to a Proleague team for next year. Either Prime MVP would be great for him.

I don't really see them as an RTS/MOBA esports organization though.


dont know about dota, but in LoL they had a couple of decent teams, which however disbanded mostly after a short time. biggest success was winning a 20k dollar LCS pre qualifier in July 2013 (http://lol.esportspedia.com/wiki/TCM-Gaming)
