TSM

Can someone explain the whole challenger's drama to me? I saw Screwface's tweet and was really confused by the whole storyline.

so basically what happened was

fuck tsm, that's the summary

someone didnt tip

TSM is trying to reenter Valorant, and they're signing the players they trialed with right before they left the scene + parts of their old roster. I think this includes seven + gmd + poised (old trial) and 1-2 new people. I believe TSM told many trialed players, including screwface/lear/clear that they were set to be on the team, but changed their minds last minute. There could have been even more trials but these three players were confirmed to be dropped right before challengers. Many people think the abrupt decisions were made by poised + gmd and were going ham on twitter, but it could also be decisions made by the TSM coaching staff.

What's worse is players like screwface and lear were already on qualified challengers team trying to make it to ascension and left their teams after tsm promised them spots. now that tsm dropped them last minute, they can't go back to their old teams because their spots have already been filled, leaving them teamless this event.

TL;DR
TSM building team and trialed players including ones in Ascension
Promised those players they were in the roster and then said "actually nvm"
Teams those players left from got replacements and now those players are fucked out of an entire season

(your recap was great VLR just has a lot of ADHD andys)

Screwface isn't teamless, he took Lear's spot on previous team!!

(only due to the fact that every including lear agreed on that thinking lear had an actual concrete offer, putting this here so people dont blindly hate on screwface and thinking men)

great info to add

i figured this might be needed since lear had to clarify on twitter to not hate on thinking men

so basically, screwface got fked, trick got fked and fked and fked for impressions, screwface got unfked, while lear got fked. Partly the org's fault. (flyquest and tsm) and mostly the players fault. The players are probably seven, poised, gmd.
