TSM or Team Solomid is an organization based in Los Angeles which signed a 10 year deal naming rights deal with FTX for 210 million. FTX which stands for Futures Exchange is a trading limited that deals with cryptocurency. Both these organizations had signed the deal as gaming as well as cryptocurrency’s popularity skyrocketed over the recent years.

However, looking at the current scenario it looks like TSM might have to cut off their ties with FTX as most of the game developers including Riot, Garena Free Fire has asked TSM FTX to abstain from the word ‘FTX’.
