Misfits sign ex-TSM

14-1-2017 22:20

Misfits have announced that they have expanded to Counter-Strike with the signing of the former TSM lineup.

The team had been released by TSM earlier on Saturday following a drawn-out saga that led to the departure of Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares, with whom the remaining four players decided to stick.

Misfits made headlines earlier this week as they partnered with NBA franchise Miami Heat, who will assist with the team's marketing, branding and promotion, among other responsibilities.

ex-TSM will play for Misfits

The North American organisation, whose League of Legends squad recently secured promotion to EU LCS, also own teams in Hearthstone, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm and Super Smash Bros.

In addition to signing the former TSM roster, Misfits have also secured the team's spot in the fifth edition of the ESL Pro League, which will have a $1 Million prize pool.

Misfits' CS:GO team consist of:

Hunter "⁠SicK⁠" Mims
Skyler "⁠Relyks⁠" Weaver
Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken
Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares
Shahzeb "⁠ShahZaM⁠" Khan

Glad for them xP Great move by the players, TSM seems to be a really s**t org.

LoL players would disagree. People look at them with high regard in other esports.

2017-01-14 22:27

Should I know misfits?

2017-01-14 22:28

From LoL wiki "Misfits was formed in May 2016 to play in the EUCS Summer Qualifiers after their former parent organization Renegades was banned from competitive play and so could no longer compete under the name Renegades: Banditos." Small org and not even a year old, so most people probably have never heard of them

2017-01-14 22:37

Afaik they existed before Renegades, when Montecristo created RNG he bought misfits LCS slot and roster, turning the misfits brand into the RNG banditos (LCS challenger team)

2017-01-15 00:56

League and OW org.

2017-01-14 22:41
