Tempo Storm

Andrey "Reynad" Yanyuk began streaming in 2012, and by the end of 2013 had 20,000 concurrent viewers on Hearthstone beta content. Unhappy with payment offers and lack of marketing around players from esports teams, he founded Tempo Storm in May 2014 with the intent of focusing on individual players and entertainment. The team began with three players. Through the next four years, they provided guides from pro players and released power rankings on decks, something other esports organizations did not do.

In 2015, Tempo Storm parted ways with its player Hyerim "MagicAmy" Lee, following accusations of account boosting and win trading by disgraced former teammate Eric "Specialist" Lee and two pros from Team Dignitas, as well as accusations that she was not who she claimed to be. The investigation by Tempo Storm found "We believe that MagicAmy is one person and that Hyerim Lee is indeed who she claims to be." and that "win trading is an unlikely scenario considering how aggressively Blizzard banned notable win-traders, including Specialist, the spark of the entire controversy." The team then states they offered to fully support MagicAmy attempting to clear her name, but she decided to take a leave of absence from Hearthstone. Later that month, Reynad, speaking on stream, said "I've never actually been so embarrassed to be a Hearthstone player before last week. All of you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves and it's probably the biggest setback to getting women into esports that I can recall happening in the past year or two," and "We never even fired her, she just didn't want to play anymore because of all the shit that happened."

By 2016, the team fielded rosters on seven different esports.

In 2017, the company expanded into a full media company with a production team, doing live events, online productions, and game development. According to Reynad, "All of these things were really big steps for the company, and it's moving Tempo Storm to be more like Disney and less like a sports team. The idea is that we're a media company, and instead of movies being our flagship product it will be games. I think Tempo Storm is really far along in that model."

By December 2018, the team had around forty players.

On October 24, 2019, Tempo Storm announced they had signed banned Hearthstone player Wai Chung "blitzchung" Ng. Blitzchung had made international news earlier that month after Hearthstone developer Blizzard Entertainment banned him for twelve months (later shortened to six) for supporting the Hong Kong protests against the Chinese government, with an ensuing backlash against Blizzard from the community. Reynad told ESPN "Tempo is proud of the stance Blitzchung took, and of the courage needed to take it."

On July 4, 2020, Tempo posted a statement that it would cut ties with Super Smash Bros. player and streamer Gonzalo "ZeRo" Barrios following accusations of sexual misconduct towards minors, and ZeRo's confession to those allegations. The team promised to extend professional support to the victims and connect ZeRo with professional counsel and other rehabilitation resources.

In March 2022, Tempo Storm's Rainbow Six Siege Pro League slot was purchased by esports organization Beastcoast.
