Tom "Tsquared" Taylor has successfully transitioned from professional Halo player to respected esports caster, leveraging his decade of competitive experience and deep game knowledge. As a ten-time event winner, his expertise brings unique value to broadcast commentary.

Starting with Esports Arena's Halo 5 event, Tsquared demonstrated his natural casting ability by providing expert analysis of amateur competitions. This led to opportunities casting Open Qualifiers and Legendary Cups, eventually earning him a spot alongside Kyle "Elamite" Elam for week six of the HCS Pro League at ESL Studios.

What sets Tsquared apart is his ability to:

  • Identify and explain crucial gameplay moments
  • Break down complex strategies for viewers
  • Spot subtle but important plays others might miss
  • Provide detailed analysis of player movement and positioning
  • Connect individual actions to larger match outcomes

His analytical strength was particularly evident during the HCS Open Circuit Legendary Cup, where he accurately predicted momentum shifts by tracking individual player performance metrics. While casting the Denial vs. 3sUP match, he highlighted key plays from Ian "Chaser" Contorelli that other casters overlooked, demonstrating his deep understanding of competitive dynamics.

Tsquared joins other professional players-turned-casters like StrongSide, Walshey, Elamite, and Towey in bringing high-level competitive insight to Halo broadcasts. His successful transition from competitor to caster represents a valuable evolution in his esports career, contributing to the growth of professional Halo coverage.
