VALORANT: TSM Officially Leaves Riot Games' FPS After Five Years
A major force in North American esports, TSM, announced their exit from competitive VALORANT on Monday, November 3rd, closing a five-year chapter in the organization's history.
TSM was among the earliest big organizations to enter VALORANT in 2020. Their farewell message highlighted their pioneering efforts in the scene, including signing one of the first Game Changers rosters and promoting co-streaming initiatives.
TSM’s Competitive Journey
TSM always aimed to compete at the highest level, but recent years did not yield the desired success. Since 2023, the team played in the Challengers League, VALORANT’s Tier 2 competition.
Despite inconsistent results, their objective remained to secure a spot in the VCT, VALORANT’s top-tier league. They came close on several occasions.
2024 and 2025 Attempts
- In 2024, finishing second in the Challenger Playoffs qualified TSM for the Ascension Tournament, where VCT promotion was at stake.
- Their first try fell short as they did not advance past the Group Stage, finishing 6th overall and missing the VCT.
- Undeterred, TSM re-entered in 2025 with the same ambition.
"TSM was one of the first major organizations to enter VALORANT back in 2020 and helped pioneer several initiatives within the scene — from signing one of the earliest Game Changers rosters to promoting co-streaming."
Despite their exit, TSM’s impact on the VALORANT competitive scene remains significant.
Summary: After five years shaping VALORANT’s competitive landscape, TSM has officially stepped back, ending their pursuit of VCT qualification but leaving a lasting legacy.
