TSM release poizon, JACKZ, KWERTZZ

TSM are yet again revamping their roster.

poizon struggled badly in the mere 11 maps he played for TSM

TSM has announced they have released Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev, Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug and Simon "⁠KWERTZZ⁠" Horák from the team, and stated they will reveal their new roster "in the coming months."

poizon and KWERTZZ only spent two and three months on the roster respectively, posting 0.89 and 0.97 ratings, whilst JACKZ was part of the original TSM roster that was put together in August 2023, but has been on the bench since early this year.

TSM have had a torrid time ever since re-entering CS with a European combine mid-way through last year, struggling to put together any notable tournament results or make it through online qualifiers.

The European squad have also cycled through personnel at a prodigious rate, having now housed nine different players and three coaches in their eight-month lifespan. Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså is the only player who remains from the original lineup TSM constructed.

TSM finalize roster with poizon and KWERTZZ

When poizon and KWERTZZ finalised their most-recent roster iteration in February, coach Allan "⁠Rejin⁠" Petersen told HLTV that the team were trying to find the right dynamic moving forward, and that they would be on the hunt for talent that might become available post-Major.

TSM are now:

Denmark Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså
Denmark Rasmus "⁠Zyphon⁠" Nordfoss
Sweden Joel "⁠joel⁠" Holmlund

Denmark Allan "⁠Rejin⁠" Petersen (coach)

Russia Timofey "⁠interz⁠" Yakushin (benched)
Romania Mădălin-Andrei "⁠MoDo⁠" Mirea (benched)

They should get SDY or Raalz to IGL, I would hope SDY has better offers but him not signing anything yet worries me. I think best case for TSM is to be a tier 2 feeder org... try to invest in young talent like joel and zyphon, see if they can carry you to a major for sticker money or sell them to tier 1 teams. For AWP just wait until you can get a young promising AWP and invest early

TSM don't even mention or tweet about their CS team on Twitter.. they legit do not care lmao
