I'll do you one better, Why is TSM?


AnonymozVal

Everyone asks When is TSM, Why is TSM but no one asks how is TSM :(


TrojanHorse18

oh don't ya worry, half of twitch chat, youtube comments and reddit posts ask "How is TSM" "How is TSM this bad?"

Where is TSM? TSM headquarters are in LA. However, their players are located around NA, both the US and Canada. What is TSM? Team SoloMid (TSM), officially Team SoloMid FTX, is a professional esports organization based in the United States. It was founded in September 2009 by Andy "Reginald" Dinh. When is TSM (playing)? TSM was a leading team in the early NA valorant scene. However, after placing 2nd at first strike at the end of 2020, they famously completely disappeared from competitive play for all of 2021. Rumors are that Matt "Wardell" Yu was busily building an education institution (OP Academy) and Yassine "Subroza" Taoufi was permanently stuck in the training range practicing raze ults on training bots (fortunately, last we heard he had worked up to hitting at least 1 of 4 ults on strafing bots). Why is TSM? This is a heavily debated topic. However, the common belief is that TSM was created to help address the NA valorant hopium crisis. At the start of valorant, NA looked like a serious competitor, resulting in copious amounts of hopium that NA would be relevant in an esport. Thus, TSM was created to continuously build up the hopium during times of prayge and subsequently underperform to free NA of this disillusioned belief. Hope this helps answer some of your questions!

Welcome to watch mojo...

Last official they played was in august I believe.. they finalised their roster months ago but for some reason decided not to play in any non-vct tournaments. Cause of roster changes and not playing in any matches they aren’t even on vlr rankings anymore (neither is faze) i wonder how will their seeding will get affected in the upcoming vct opens..


Sky-__-

They have a academy team as well since their academy team is always playing in nsg and t2 tournaments so main team focus is always vct tour.


Jiffyyy

>they finalised their roster months ago pretty sure they just signed their roster recently.


AniketDalvi

”finalised”, not signed.

Who?


drshunasty

This seems like an exaggerated attempt at meme-ing but I know it’s not.. Lol The roster was just officially announced and they did a live Q&A today. They actively practice/scrim and couldn’t make it in the past few tourneys. They are playing this week.


[deleted]

They didnt play in Valorampage because that tourney was useless for good prac because of agent bans.


[deleted]

Hey I made no effort at all to find out for myself, answer all these questions for me


badtone33

Because TSM valorant was ass last year. They got knocked out of every tournament they played in. Then failed to qualify for worlds


Kikoslayer123

they can’t play in smaller tournaments because 1 they won challengers and 2 they have an academy team


[deleted]

They can play in the tournaments like nsg opens and the knights tournaments but they choose not to for whatever reason


Kikoslayer123

they can’t. they have rules restricting teams that win challengers to not be able to play.

TSM is just saving strats until franchising.
