Official: TSM add Rejin as head coach

3-1-2024 22:52

The Danish coach fills the spot vacated by XTQZZZ in October.

Rejin previously coached Endpoint and MOUZ

TSM have unveiled Allan "⁠Rejin⁠" Petersen as their head coach, confirming a move first reported by HLTV. The organization added that the 36-year-old has been working with the team since December and that he was pivotal in their qualifying effort for ESL Challenger League Season 47.

Sources: Rejin to take over as TSM head coach

Rejin arrives to fill the gap created by Rémy "⁠XTQZZZ⁠" Quoniam's departure to Vitality in October. TSM's assistant coach, Lambert "⁠Lambert⁠" Prigent, temporarily filled the position while the organization explored its options, settling on Rejin after a brief hunt.

The Dane returns to coaching after spending four months as Sashi's Sports Director, a position he was released from in November. Before that, he coached Endpoint for a year and MOUZ for 16 months.

His stint with the latter organization was brought to a sudden end when he was revealed to have exploited the coach bug by ESIC. Valve used the esports watchdog's demerit points to hand Rejin a lifetime suspension from Majors, but in September, he successfully appealed his ban length and had it reduced.

As a result, Rejin will be eligible to coach at Majors again, but not until after his five-Major ban elapses following the conclusion of PGL Major Copenhagen.

Alongside coaching TSM in their other events, the Dane will also need to help finalize a replacement for Cai "⁠CYPHER⁠" Watson, who departed for BLEED on Wednesday.

CYPHER rounds out BLEED's lineup

TSM have:

Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug
Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså
Timofey "⁠interz⁠" Yakushin
Mădălin-Andrei "⁠MoDo⁠" Mirea

Allan "⁠Rejin⁠" Petersen (coach)

IMO more tourneys like cs_summit is needed. Casters & players in a relaxed environment is more interesting than caster duos. I think the keyword for me is "relaxed". Hype casting is the cherry on top of the cake. Too many cherries makes the cake taste bad.

Thats rich, coming from you. The person that just woke up. Valde is their most impact and highest rated player while calling. If you say he is playing bad and not frag, then you dont have any cs knowledge

Their highest rated is modo. And his calls aren't netting them shit for wins. Not even in T2.

Didnt talk about his calls, i talked about his impact overall witch is really good for a 28 yo calling a team of sh1t players. And also Valdes rating is higher than modos by 0.01, but modos impact rating is higher by 0.01. So that still means valde is their best player but not alone with that achievement

alright, now get fucking neaLaN on the team so there's a proper IGL and valde can go back to fragging (and second call if he wants).

2024-01-04 00:04

2024-01-04 10:03

Yes I know but he's still relatively young and I'm a fan MY BAD lol

2024-01-04 10:10

Lol team with three supports... XD

2024-01-04 11:14

I dont know why org always hires the same old people that brought zero success. Its the definition of Einstein for insanity.

2024-01-04 09:34

Finally! Love this guy! GL @ TSM !!

2024-01-04 09:37

And now get rid of one of interz or jackz, because 2 hard supports is not it

Isn't Jackz supposed to be entry ?

2024-01-04 11:13

Honestly, had no idea about that since I don't watch ESEA Advanced and alike. Guess I was too quick to judge based on the past roles. Not enough free time to even watch all of tier-2 leagues, nevermind lower ones. Then I guess it is fine, depending on who they get as 5th.
