TSM set to return to professional CS: GO soon, as per a recent LinkedIn post looking for a new general manager

In October 2022, TSM’s Vice President Dominic Kallas announced that TSM will be returning to the CS: GO pro scene in 2023. TSM opted out from professionally competing in CS: GO tournaments in 2017. It had many prominent esports athletes on their roster. With a Danish CS: GO team of Andreas “Xyp9x” Hjsleth, Peter “Dupree,” Nicolai “device,” Finn “karrigan,” and René “cajunb,” TSM first began its journey in 2015. It also had some big Valorant pros like NRG FNS, SEN Sick, G2 Shahzam, etc.

Kallas made it clear that when they return to CS: GO, their strategy won’t be to “go out and buy a top-five squad.” He also said that he will collaborate with a regional general manager while spending “considerable time in Europe. However, Kallas did not provide any news about when they will start scouting players for their roster.
