TSM returns to Counter-Strike with roster featuring JACKZ, valde, CYPHER
The American organization makes a return to the game after last housing a team in 2016.

TSM has announced the signing of a new Counter-Strike roster that features former G2 rifler Audric "JACKZ" Jug and ENCE rifler Valdemar "valde" Bjørn Vangså, confirming previous reports that tied the organization to this new lineup.

The roster is completed by Cai "CYPHER" Watson, who impressed as a part of Into the Breach's recent run to the BLAST.tv Paris Major quarter-finals, Cloud9's former pillar of support Timofey "interz" Yakushin, and Mădălin-Andrei "MoDo" Mirea, a 20-year-old Romanian AWPer who most recently plied his trade for Nexus.
TSM were previously supposed to debut with their new roster in CCT Online Finals 2 according to Dust2.us, but ended up pulling out of the tournament after a dispute regarding verbal agreements made by the organization reportedly arose between TSM, its new players, and head coach Rémy "XTQZZZ" Quoniam, who was said to be the architect of the new lineup.
The alleged disputes previously pointed toward XTQZZZ exiting the project. The Frenchmen and organization seem to have found an amicable solution, though, as he was also announced as a part of the project, reuniting him with JACKZ and returning him to a team after he last stood behind G2 in October 2022.
TSM last housed a Counter-Strike roster in 2016, with some notable names to go through their ranks including the likes of Sean "seang@res" Gares, Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken, Hunter "SicK" Mims, and Timothy "autimatic" Ta. The players from the organization's last roster decided to depart after TSM released seang@res due to his involvement in the Open Letter to the Professional eSports Association.
Prior to that, the organization had a star-studded Danish core that included Nicolai "device" Reedtz and Finn "karrigan" Andersen on its books, but a breakdown in relationship between the organization and players led to their departure and later, the formation of Astralis.

The newly-signed TSM roster currently has no events lined up as they are not among the team list for ESL Pro League Season 18, but could make their debut in an online tournament or cup.
TSM's new roster is:
Audric "JACKZ" Jug
Valdemar "valde" Bjørn Vangså
Timofey "interz" Yakushin
Cai "CYPHER" Watson
Mădălin-Andrei "MoDo" Mirea
