A wonderful article and a perfect reminder of how much TB meant to SC2, a year after his death. It is okay to cry.

It literally tore me up when it happened and it still hurts when I'm reminded of this loss. I hope I will find others that can inspire and impress me the way TB did but I doubt it, he was one of a kind.

Great article and lots of emotion! That GSTL final was epic. After Slayers got disbanded I've always cheered for Axiom from their very start.

Let it never be forgotten that on top of everything he's done for the SC2 community, he is pretty much the reason the Dark Souls franchise came to PC.

"For the Love of Starcraft", such a fitting title. His death hit me hard, I wrote the date of his passing up in my calender to make sure I would never forget and that I will keep remembering him and the lessons I've learnt from him.

What I did not expect was for so many others to do the same, to not be able to move on a year hence. A TL tribute, this article written and saved for the occasion and the documentary by "Different level". So many people still seem to struggle with the grief from his passing even though most of us didn't even meet the man. Makes me happy I have others to share this sadness with.

Great article, Wax. I'm crying. Always remember to not pick dumb fights everyone and be the best you can be to the folks around you.

Wow, doesn't feel like it's only been a year, it seems like a helluva lot longer. Four years since Axiom closed, and Axiom-Acer was only six years ago... What a damn journey.

What a fantastic article, thank so much for the write up. It is really important to understand what TB achieved with Axiom. Brought back so many memories.
