Trance reached out to me to help assemble the production behind the show, as there were tons of parts the studio needed to make this concept work. The GD Studio’s idea here was to produce a 24/7 show, flying in all the talent to their house up in Tyresö, Stockholm.

In 2014, the studio was awarded the contract from Valve Software to produce a “pre-show” to their DOTA2 tournament with $10 million USD in prize pool that would stretch over 2 weeks. Trance was one of the first employees of Twitch in Europe with the intent of acting as a tech/BD arm in Europe, as esport was heavily European at the time. I got introduced to Trance through my work at DreamHack and helped him and James “ 2GD ” Harding with some of the shows up until 2014. Cristian Tamas, also known as “Trance” on the internet was one of the founders of “The GD Studio”, which back in 2012 was one of the few influential broadcasters within the Starcraft 2 esport scene. To understand why I joined Twitch I need to start with how I met Trance. The question has come up enough times now about why I’m leaving and to explain that I first have to talk about how it all started. It’s scary leaving any company where you spent 1/6th of your life inside of. In February of 2021 I resigned from Twitch after 6 years of employment and joining Discord tomorrow after writing this post.
