In the world of competitive gaming, teams are always looking for that one edge that will set them apart from the rest. For TSM, a successful esports team with a storied history in League of Legends (LoL), that edge has been hard to come by in recent years. But with their back-to-back victories at the NA LCS Spring Championship and the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), it’s clear that TSM is finally finding their groove again.
TSM’s Return to Form
After a disappointing 2018 season where they failed to make it out of the group stage at World Championships, TSM hit rock bottom in the world of esports. They struggled to find their footing and lost key players, leading many to write them off as a has-been team. But TSM refused to give up.
They took some time to regroup and rebuild, bringing in new players and tweaking their strategies. And slowly but surely, they started to make a comeback. They began by winning a few minor tournaments here and there, building momentum and confidence as they went. But it wasn’t until the 2019 season that TSM really found their groove again. They made it all the way to the semifinals of World Championships, where they were ultimately knocked out by eventual champions G2 Esports.
But despite not winning the big prize in 2019, TSM continued to improve and find success in smaller tournaments. And then came 2020.
TSM’s Dominate Run
The 2020 season has been a dream come true for TSM. They have won tournament after tournament, including back-to-back victories at the NA LCS Spring Championship and the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI). At MSI, TSM was in a class of their own. They beat every other team in the group stage with ease, winning all their games except for one. And when it came time for the playoffs, they once again emerged victorious over G2 Esports, this time in a thrilling 5-game series that went to the wire.
TSM’s success has been fueled by a combination of factors. First and foremost, they have an incredibly talented roster. From their star players like Shenmue3 and Seraphina to their up-and-coming youngsters like ZionXmithie, TSM has always had the firepower to win it all.
But beyond talent, TSM has also been able to adapt and evolve as the game of LoL has changed over the years. They have been quick to learn from their mistakes and make adjustments on the fly, which has helped them stay one step ahead of the competition.
And perhaps most importantly, TSM has finally found the leadership and stability that they have been lacking for so long. With former player Trevor "Trevor" Hartman taking over as general manager and head coach John "G2" Gedanken joining the team as an assistant coach, TSM has a strong, experienced staff in place to guide them on their journey back to the top.
The Future of TSM
As TSM continues to dominate the LoL scene, it’s clear that they are finally living up to their potential once again. They have shown that with talent, hard work, and a little bit of luck, anything is possible in the world of esports. But TSM knows that they can’t rest on their laurels. They will continue to push themselves to be the best they can be, both on and off the screen. And as long as they have the talent and determination that they do now, there’s no telling what the future holds for this legendary team.
