The news follows TSM's top-eight finish in NA's Challengers League, which let them keep a slot for 2024 despite not making VCT Americas Ascension. The team struggled throughout Split 2, finishing the group stage with a 2-3 record.

Their only win was a 2-0 against Disguised Disguised Inactive steel Joshua Nissan Genghsta Amgalan Nemekhbayar clear Joseph Allen Exalt Drake Branly nerve Michael Yerrow yay Jaccob Whiteaker , being eliminated shortly thereafter, just outside of points contention.

TSM's roster was one of the most stable squads of the year. Their first and only change came after two weeks in the NA VCL, when veteran James "hazed" Cobb stepped down in favor of Eric "Kanpeki" Xu. The team dropped coaches Jacob "Daeda" Hale and Andrey "ENGH" Sholokhov, also benching Anthony "gMd" Guimond, after their Split 2 playoffs loss.

I doubt it has anything to do with crypto, it's just not profitable to keep a team when there's no competition for 6 months. Plus they make most of their money from blitz.gg which has been untouched in this FTX debacle.

Wouldn't be surprised if the only teams in T2 by the end of the year are F/A teams

1) You clearly have no idea what you are talking about so I'm not even going to respond after this one
2) blitz isn't even a sponsor
3) they own blitz
4) blitz just keeps track of ing stuff like ACS, and Creep Score in LoL
5) https://blitz.gg/

Would it be far fetched to assume that they pick up some of the best f/a players with this rebuild?

A team of yay,nitro,dapr,oxy would be kinda fire

It's pretty obvious their taking a step back and assessing what's most important which for them is CSGO/CS2
