Apex Legends star iitzTimmy reveals why he turned down TSM streaming offer Twitch: iitzTimmy \/ TSM \/ Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Twitch star Timmy \u2018iitzTimmy\u2019 An has reportedly turned down an offer to join esports giants TSM, with the streamer revealing that despite joining the organization being his \u201cdream\u201d, he\u2019s \u201cnot sure\u201d if he wants to join a team. iitzTimmy has blown up on Twitch with the rise of Apex Legends, with the former Golden Guardians member going from hundreds of viewers to thousands across the last 12 months. Helped along by his great talents, and shooting for remarkable challenges across Apex Legends and Valorant, Timmy is now a household name on Twitch. However, he\u2019s not going to follow in the footsteps of streamers like NiceWigg and Nokokopuffs and join an org like 100 Thieves or TSM though. In fact, Timmy is considering not taking up a TSM offer \u2014 despite it being his childhood dream to join the legendary organization. \u201cDo you want the truth? I have an offer from TSM. So then you\u2019re going to be like \u2018but wait Timmy, why don\u2019t you join TSM?\u2019 I have a lot of offers, chat, from a lot of orgs. It\u2019s not like a flex or anything, but I\u2019m not sure if I want to be in an org. It\u2019s an honest opinion,\u201d he said on December 5. Timmy\u2019s reasoning was simple: He wasn\u2019t sure if organizations would give him enough money. With his stocks going up on the platform, sponsors are coming in, and the conflicts could see him lose out at the end of the day. \u201cI don\u2019t want to say those reasons why on stream because that ruins the perspective of orgs in general, but as a content creator \u2014 especially someone as big as me \u2014 what can an org do for me? That\u2019s the reason why you join an org. \u201cThere has to be some beneficial value. That\u2019s money, but the funny thing is orgs don\u2019t really pay you that much. Some orgs don\u2019t pay enough, their sponsors block what I want as sponsors. \u201cWhat if [a team] had a Razer or Corsair sponsorship, and I wanted a Logitech sponsor. That would be a conflict with the organization and myself, and I can\u2019t get that sponsorship anymore. It goes with a lot of sponsors and that\u2019s a big thing.\u201d He also used Twitch star Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek as an example: \u201cShroud could really get any sponsor he realistically wanted, as long as he has good relationships with them. Those sponsors would probably pay shroud more money than the org would.\u201d The TSM offer was a bigger deal than most for Timmy. Having previously been signed to Golden Guardians, he had an idea of what it was like being in an organization. However, joining TSM was his dream, dating back to the \u201cBaylife\u201d League of Legends days. \u201cFor me, personally, when I was younger and played a lot of League of Legends, I was a huge TSM fan. My dream was to be on TSM. As I became better and I wanted to become a better player, all the good players were on TSM. \u201cWhen I got my TSM offer, it wasn\u2019t that the offer was bad, but I\u2019d gotten to this point as a streamer where I felt like I didn\u2019t need them. There\u2019s that passion to join these orgs \u2014 TSM, NRG, Liquid, there\u2019s so many of them \u2014 but why do I want to join them?\u201d The related segment begins at 9:35:34. Despite all the talk about sponsors and money though, Timmy did set a price tag that he would sign for any org on the spot: \u201cIf someone is going to offer me a million dollars for a year to sign for an org right now, I\u2019ll do it. I won\u2019t need no f**king subs. You guys keep your five dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
