TSM has made its reentry into the CSGO scene with a new EU roster. The roster was first reported by Dust2.us on July 26, fielding a mix of veteran names and young talents. It was then reported by Blix on August 1 that the team was seemingly in jeopardy as disagreements over the contracts of head coach R\u00e9my \u2018XTQZZZ\u2019 Quoniam supposedly resulted in him pulling out of the roster. However, it seems that the disagreements were resolved as XTQZZZ will be coaching the team among the other reported members of the squad as it\u2019s all been made official as of August 29. TSM makes a return to Counter-Strike with new EU roster Announced by TSM directly, joining XTQZZZ as the coaching staff is Lambert \u201cLambert\u201d Prigent as the assistant coach. Their IGL, Valdemar \u201cvalde\u201d Vangs\u00e5 has led some of EU\u2019s best upcoming teams over the past five years, notably with Heroic and North early into his career, and stints with OG and ENCE. French veteran Audric \u201cJACKZ\u201d Jug was last seen as a stand-in for Vitality at ESL Pro League Season 17. After being dropped from G2 in 2022, JACKZ has had rocky results as he would go on to sign with HEET who eventually dropped the roster. Timothy \u201cinterz\u201d Yakushin burst onto the scene in 2019 as a part of Gambit Youngsters, which would go on to be Gambit\u2019s main team, and eventually sold to Cloud9. He was eventually let go by C9 in January. Cai \u201cCYPHER\u201d Watson was one of the key members of Into The Breach\u2019s miraculous run to the quarter-final of the BLAST.tv Paris Major, and now for the first time play on a major org. M\u0103d\u0103lin-Andrei \u201cMoDo\u201d Mirea has had stints with a Romanian team, Nexus Gaming, however, has not been active for as long as some other members of the team nor as many matches.
