Here is the translation of the additional information from the Telegram channel and the comments from the Belarusian analyst and commentator Konstantin "leniniw" Sivko:
Do you remember the initial lineup that TSM had in CS:GO, with which they achieved significant success? It consisted of the Danes Xyp9x, Device, Dupreeh, and others who joined or left.
TSM's interest in returning to CS:GO arose about a year ago, if not longer, and the organization patiently waited for opportunities. Finally, they have witnessed the most significant reshuffle in history, and now they have the option to sign something like Gla1ve-Dupreeh-Xyp9x/Zyphon-Nicoodoz, and, for example, Es3tag or a random fragger. Doesn't it look respectable? (Let's not discuss the prospects, only respect)
It's understandable that in the current landscape, it doesn't make much sense to sign a mononational lineup. However, if we consider the concept of returning to their roots, to the origins... why not?
The most successful TSM
lineup was in 2015 when they won numerous tournaments, including
- ESL ESEA Pro League Season 2 - Europe
- PGL CS:GO Championship Series Season 1
- Counter Pit League
- FACEIT 2015 Stage 2 Finals
TSM was a dominant force in the esports scene at that time.
The lineup consisted of:
In January 2017, TSM disbanded their last CS:GO roster. However, in early October 2022, there were reports of the organization's intention to return to the discipline. Representatives of the club stated that they don't plan to acquire an existing team. In early 2023, TSM's Vice President of Esports, Dominik Callas, confirmed that they plan to form a new lineup by the middle of this year.
