According to a report on June 26, TSM are targeting a number of Counter-Strike<\/a> players ahead of their long-awaited return to the Valve first-person shooter game. <\/p>\n

The North American organization have been scouting players like Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen, Audric “JACKZ” Jug, and German AWPer Florian “syrsoN” Rische. They are also in talks with ex-G2 coach R\u00e9my “XTQZZZ” Quoniam to lead the team. <\/p>\n

TSM left the CS:GO scene over six years ago after losing their entire North American lineup due to a player-rights dispute. <\/p>\n

The team announced their return to the game with a European lineup in October 2022. In February this year, TSM disclosed that they were looking for a general manager to head the CS:GO operations; however, not much has been heard concerning the matter since. <\/p>\n

TSM’s financial woes in March this year further strengthened the speculation that the team would not make a return to CS:GO. <\/p>\n

TSM’s decision to build a CS:GO roster was made at an opportune time, as several top players are currently in free agency as teams prepare their lineups for the release of Counter-Strike 2<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This means TSM have a chance to sign experienced players to their lineup without spending exorbitant sums on buyout clauses.<\/p>\n

Dupreeh, JACKZ, and XTQZZZ are all unrestricted free agents. SyrsoN is on BIG’s bench at the moment. <\/p>\n

Dupreeh was placed on Team Vitality’s inactive lineup on June 22 to make way for Shahar “flameZ” Shushan. <\/p>\n

The player previously announced that he was open to considering other options; however, he stated that he would only join a team with a shot at the first Counter-Strike 2 Major trophy in Copenhagen, Denmark, next year. <\/p>\n

Dupreeh also has some history with TSM, as he played for the 2015 lineup before signing with Astralis later that year. <\/p>\n

XTQZZZ has been in free agency since he left G2 Esports in October 2022. Like Dupreeh, XTQZZZ has played with Team Vitality, helping them win EPICENTER 2019, ECS Season 7 Finals, BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Finals, IEM Beijing 2020, and IEM Winter 2021.<\/p>\n
