TSM Valorant to add Hazed and NaturE to the 2023 Squad
TSM Valorant has been one of the biggest names in Valorant despite the shaky result. The team's poster boy Subroza is the game's biggest superstar and has been part of the Valorant circuit for a long time. After being denied the Valorant Partnership, the team will compete in the Valorant ascension league under the leadership of Hazed. Hazed was part of TSM's core and will rejoin the team along with NaturE from Gen.G.
TSM was one of the earliest organizations to field a Valorant roster. The first TSM iteration consisted of Drone, Subroza, ReltuC, Hazed, and Wardell. Subroza and Wardell are, to date, one of the most famous Valorant duos. In the year, the team was unbeatable and consistently outperformed all its peers, winning multiple invitational tournaments.
The team was one of the favorites to win the Valorant First Strike tournament. On the way to the finals, the team defeated Immortals and Envy and faced off against equally strong 100 Thieves. The team lost the first map 13-15 in overtime in the finals. But brought it back in the second map. The team could not close the third or the fourth map losing the series 1-3.
In 2021, the team had a hard time finding any footing. Amidst struggles, the team started making changes. The first to leave was reltuC. Soon Drone was benched, and Aleko and Bang joined the roster. But the roster made a strong run at the 2021 VCT stage 3 Qualifiers but could not back it up at the main challengers. Soon Bang, Aleko, and Wardell were let go. gmd, Corey, Rossy, and seven joined the 2022 TSM roster. The team won multiple B and C-Tier events but had difficulty following through in the S-tier events.
With TSM failing to secure a partnership, all the players announced restricted Free agency along with a longest standing member of TSM Valorant Subroza. The only active member of the squad is seven. Yesterday dot esport reported the return of the IGL in Hazed. Hazed played the 2022 season with NRG and helped the team achieve their highest placement in VCT NA Challengers. The Gen.G player NaturE will join alongside Hazed and, together with gmd Corey and seven, will make the new TSM Valorant roster. Subroza is still actively looking for offers and will most likely be out of the team looking for a new opportunity. Rossy has already left the team and is looking to join new ventures. With hazed and NaturE, the new 2023 TSM Valorant roster will be as follows:
