TSM debut with win over former 00NATION squad

The North American organization celebrated its return to Counter-Strike with a victory over Fake Natty.

CYPHER led the line for TSM on Overpass with a 1.89 rating

TSM claimed their first victory under their new organization, taking down Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David's Fake Natty 2-1. Their debut match took place online in the play-in of Thunderpick World Championship 2023 Europe Series 2, and the Europeans are now just one win away from the main knockout bracket.

The Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså-led squad was officially signed in late August following months of reports regarding their lineup, and are now competing in the European tier two scene under their new banner.

TSM returns to Counter-Strike with roster featuring JACKZ, valde, CYPHER

Cai "⁠CYPHER⁠" Watson was consistently the team's best performer throughout the series, and perfectly showcased his aggressive playstyle on Overpass. The British rifler was on fire, finding a total of 12 opening frags to constantly put his team ahead in the early stages of the round.

Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug and Timofey "⁠interz⁠" Yakushin also had their moments of glory on Inferno as they powered TSM's failed comeback on the defensive side, registering 1.21 and 1.38 ratings, respectively. Despite their loss, the European mix looked threatening even in disadvantaged late-round situations.

The whole team came alive on Ancient to push TSM over the line, completing a comeback from 5-10 down thanks to the trio of interz, Mădălin-Andrei "⁠MoDo⁠" Mirea, and CYPHER. The Romanian AWPer even clutched a 1vs3 late to close the game in favor of the Europeans.

TSM's next scheduled match will be against The Witchers in the closed qualifiers for CCT East Europe Series 2.

that was supposedly the case. Basically screwed out of his own org and then forced into a psych ward against his will. At one point he was even struggling to even survive as he at one point was living on I think....around 500 euros a month?

He did an AMA on the GlobalOffensive subreddit years back after all of that shit happened. Somewhere, he mentioned he was forced to live off of around that amount of money and he was indeed forced into a psych ward but was released a day later.

He was playing for imperial in 2020 (way before the rebranding and the last dance - it was just a minor team in brazilian scene). He then left the team so he could go to the reality show. The team wasn´t doing so well, he neither. Maybe a change of airs, as it´s typical of him, probably some easy cash (probably wasn´t earning much in Imperial anyways). Imperial reformulated the team after this, keeping only shoowtime and zqk.
