TSM bench MoDo

22-2-2024 19:40

Only one member of the original TSM roster remains after six months of its existence.

valde's team has changed all around him in a two-month span

TSM have benched their AWPer, Mădălin-Andrei "⁠MoDo⁠" Mirea, the organization has announced. The Romanian departs the active roster after less than six months, having joined the organization in August as part of its re-entry into Counter-Strike after six years.

The American organization's lineup now boasts just one out of the five members of the original roster, Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså, after a series of changes dating back to the start of the year.

Cai "⁠CYPHER⁠" Watson was the first player to leave the team after being acquired by BLEED in early January, and the organization went on to bench Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug and Timofey "⁠interz⁠" Yakushin following the team's failure to pass the open qualifiers for PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen.

To replace Rémy "⁠XTQZZZ⁠" Quoniam, who left for Vitality late last year, TSM added Allan "⁠Rejin⁠" Petersen as their new coach at the beginning of the year. They went on to sign Joel "⁠joel⁠" Holmlund on trial and acquire Rasmus "⁠Zyphon⁠" Nordfoss from Sprout, while the last spot has been filled by Simon "⁠KWERTZZ⁠" Horák for the past month.

With MoDo's replacement yet to be announced, TSM are down to the following roster:

Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså
Rasmus "⁠Zyphon⁠" Nordfoss
Joel "⁠joel⁠" Holmlund (trial)
Simon "⁠KWERTZZ⁠" Horák (stand-in)

Allan "⁠Rejin⁠" Petersen (coach)

Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug (benched)
Timofey "⁠interz⁠" Yakushin (benched)
Mădălin-Andrei "⁠MoDo⁠" Mirea (benched)

not a bad choice ngl

Nobody knows who this guy is

2024-02-22 19:51

That's assuming he wants to join them. Bro rejected fnatic and mouz. He is delusional and thinks FaZe, G2 or vita will make an offer for him. He doesn't want to settle for less.

Lmao why he gotta do himself like that.

2024-02-22 19:59

How do you know that? Wasn't he okay with OG...

2024-02-22 20:02

he chose them at the time cause OG initially gave him full freedom to do as he pleases which was why he chose them initially which worked out in the short term but clearly was a problem in the long term.

2024-02-22 21:42

Also he was supposed to be only stand-in for a single event, but he stayed because he had great energy with other players.

2024-02-23 13:06

That's such a classic mistake... A close friend of mine many years ago was extremely talented at dota/hon/LoL and rejected playing for a "lesser" team in wait for better offers, not long after that same team he rejected became NiP's LoL team and my friend never got the offers he felt he was good enough for, and his career died. If degster really rejected mouz and fnatic perhaps the same thing will happen to him, he doesn't have the best reputation either when it comes to personality.

2024-02-22 20:12

bro honestly who in their right mind would reject MOUZ? if he truly did then he doesn't deserve more offers

2024-02-22 20:16

I heard somewhere that siuhy wanted torzsi to stay so the degster move got cancelled Idk what's the truth,but it's unrealistic that degster would choose bench instead of Mouz/ fnc

2024-02-22 20:24

yup this was the case

2024-02-22 21:08

liquipedia.net/dota2/Chicken_Fighters In 2020 they were signed by NiP to relaunch the dota 2 division. Edit: thought you were speaking about dota 2

2024-02-22 21:24

After some research it seems I mixed the games up, it was not nip's LoL team but dota2 team in 2015. As I said many years ago so my memory was not on point :D "On the first of January 2015, the NiP announced their new Dota 2 division, picking up the roster of up-and-coming Swedish team LAJONS, featuring former Fnatic carry player Era as well as Apemother, jonassomfan, Sealkid and Handsken, all of them with a history of playing Heroes of Newerth. After stating they have kept tabs on the Dota scene for some time the NiP organization had the following statements made in the announcement: " He declined playing with LAJONS and then NiP picked them up, if he'd have played his cards right it would have been him in NiP :D Even before they became NiP I felt it was a bad decision for him. Generally better to have a team than no team and hope for the best.

2024-02-22 21:45

where did u get info that either of those team wanted him,fnatic dont want to invest in cs so they get free shitheads in hope of getting stickermoney, even if they did offer i understand rejecting them,but idk why he would reject mouz if they actually offered

I'm not exactly sure where the info came from, but I have seen this mentioned multiple times by many different users.

2024-02-22 20:41

There's a kid called Headtr1ck available that I hear has potential and isn't a prima donna.

2024-02-23 02:06

As much as i like headtrick he is way too passive. Much better as a rifler

how is that an upgrade

2024-02-22 20:26

It’s not. TSM are basically broke these days so have to go for super cheap buyouts/free players

2024-02-22 23:47

fk if they can't even afford modo no wonder they got joel to fix some matches

2024-02-23 00:24

Goodluck in NIP!

but why? he was their best player lol

by far...

2024-02-22 19:45

Tsm is shit management, just to let you know players have never met each other since the start of the project but were well paid

Joel, even though it's controversial to say.

i mean yeah in theory, but not in rating no?

TSM looking to upgrade from tier 5 to tier 4

Poizon incoming lol.

Hmmm

Who would've known signing all these big names with 3 role clashes, no star and an inexperienced awper would lead to 4/5 of team gone

I watch the games, he is the definition of mid, same with iM, volt is extremely fraudulent and will probably be benched very soon.

2024-02-22 19:52

buddy youre a fan of a team where MoDo would definitely be an upgrade of midzerk, dunno why u are here hating romanians lmao

2024-02-22 20:22

I am a fan of a team that despite having hallzerk, still does very well.

volt fraud? one of the only guys in GL that can hold their own weight. Snax might be the only other guy. Keoz is useless, like Jackz in G2 before getting benched. acoR hard choker. isak is okay too I guess.

2024-02-22 20:25

told you he's a fraud.

can't see fraudulent activity finding him second best in rating tied with big apple

hard to agree when you pull under 1.00 and tie your igl in stats.

2024-02-22 20:27

sad when all idiots arguing about stats ,when the roles in a team is not about stats but winning the fking round.

2024-02-22 19:53

wtf ... no ... im not even im fan or something but i never posted that shit ... even so .. i think if im gets kicked of leave by himselvs .. for real... blade/alecxi nerfed him into a 50-50 % player ... in gl he didnt have massive 2.00 maps but he played more stable ... like 1.15-1.40-1.50 and some over 1.50 at same tournaments and now he gots 2.00 vs g2 and smash niko 7-2 in 1v1 duels and then goes 1.05-1.10 vs worst teams like g2 for example ... i dont undestand wtf is going on... i kinda want to see im in other t1 team so see if navi sistem was the problem or he just fell-off in cs 2 because they nerfed the spray ... and maybe other IGL/coach aswell ... for real... i dont undestand wtf im carryed t3 players like GL to hard and can do better in this navi

Lul what, wonderful is their best player by far. And I'm not talking only statwise, he's the most consistent + had many awesome moments that saved the day for Na'Vi. While iM is good and has higher skill ceiling (probably), he's way too inconsistent for his roles. He's supposed ti constantly deliver numbers, alongside with w0nderful and b1t, yet he has lots of "off days". Same goes to b1t btw.

2024-02-23 12:52

i agree ... blade,alecsi allready ruined him so fast... he need a more agreesive team not navi 20secs late round executions and run out of time even u get the entrys and cant plant ... i hope navi kick him if they do bad at major or he leaves by himself...

2024-02-23 13:01

Lol, it's not Aleksi's fault he's inconsistent. Everyone plays just fine (well, except for b1t, but he already was playing mid in 2022). So it's om him.

2024-02-23 14:18

wounderfull is terible with awp ... he cannot fuck with monesy/ziwo at all ... he loses the duels with them even when he is waiting for them to push into his crosshair bro... he almost never hits anything from 2 or 3 shots (round is over by them) or dont hit anything at all and run into tspanw spam... he is much better with Ak-47 than awp ... his stats are boosted by eco/pistols kils.. he allways farm like 10-12 kills in the first 3 rounds and finish with only 15-5 and gets massive rating even if he had 0 real impact in the game... same with bit... im cannot farm any eco kills ... he is not with rest of the team because he is playing lucker... like ropz .. ropz is playing lurker on faze... his average scores are 14-12 / 14-0 and aton of negative maps as well... ropz never even got any maps close to 2.00 in 2024 at all.. im got like 3 or 4 and all of those like map3 vs g2/niko,monsey and stuff like this .... navi needs a stronger Awp 200% to improve ... wounderfull awp skills are just not it ...he is not even top 10 i think right now ... his only highlights are 3 cluches with Ak -47 1v4 ... thats it ... if u play with vit/spirit/g2 and your awp is wounderfull ... u are 4v5 after the 3rd round ... he playins cs wrong ... he playins awp from his spawn ... so he can run and save after he misses all 10 shots in a row and get 2.00 or close from the pistols /eco only... this is not even a joke... not a bait ... watch navi games and count wounderfull eco/pistols kills and u will find the 80% ... thats why he has like 15 kils and 60 adr most of the games... just imagine navi without blade ego and with monessy as theyr awp ...

They didn't bench Joel?

poizon xd

kekw

modo wasn't the problem, -Iq org for real

That will surely improve their roster...

Not MoDo :( will TSM be the team with most benched players active at once?

TYLOO had like 7 at one point

TSM benched MoDo for fucking poizon 😂😂😂

no, he was spotted in their pracc room.

2024-02-22 20:32

bruhhhh. unless poizon pulls a fucking cerQ they just tossed their best player for the most inconsistent awper this side of the atlantic. fucking grim.

2024-02-22 20:34

just disband and stop wasting money for tier 20 cs xd

2024-02-22 19:56

This is turning out to be a close to EG level shitshow. Well, not quite there yet but the signs are promising.

Are we witnessing Rejin building danish speaking team? If so, they could add k0nfig and esetag for free?

obviously not lmao. TSM benched MoDo for fucking poizon KEKW

man this reminds me of 2000s venezuelan soap operas

degster/deko/mantuu/poizon/headtrick misutaaa/jks bymas/k0nfig/boros

Wat they doin ova there

who cares disband

I think this one was coming for some time since modo didn't look motivated in his last couple of games plus on his stream he looked a bit down

was lack of motivation why he was initially benched from Nexus :v

2024-02-22 21:44

Not sure but maybe he got benched because xellow came back

2024-02-22 22:08

unexpected lul. he'll go to a better team

Sad they're a matchfixing squad now :(

2024-02-22 20:35

2024-02-22 20:36

Valde Zyphon Joel K0nfig smooya / degster

2024-02-22 20:42

Please disband

was clear you wouldnt win with someone who only works Montag to Donnerstag. What if your game is Friday to Sunday? Youre screwed.

2024-02-22 20:59

Valde should be kicked too.. Zyphon and Joel are great young talents. Add in Degster or Headtrick, wait for post major rostermania and go hard

2024-02-22 21:00

Build real now, get stew2k, Dupree, konfig, phzy, jks

SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYA

Going full danish with konfig and es3tag available. Soon acor from GL disband

2024-02-22 21:15

what are they doing?

2024-02-22 21:25

He was the best player in the team ..

2024-02-22 21:41

Imagine being a TSM management employee and getting paid for decisions like this. Literally everyone knew this roster was doomed from the start and they still went ahead with it. Now they are benching players after all this wasted time.

this team was just a bunch of rejects put together thinking they will be good. how can you be good when you pick 5 players who have been kicked from their previous teams? there is a reason they got kicked. its coz they trash
