A recent statement made by esports organization TSM reveals that they would be interested in returning to competitive Call of Duty.
While TSM is no stranger to competitive CoD, many of today’s fans may not remember their existence. TSM first signed a team during the Black Ops 3 iteration of theCall of Duty World League.
TSM had little success during their brief stent in the CWL with multiple last-place finishes. However, TSM has succeeded in other ventures like League of Legends and Apex.
TSM and CDL make a confusing combo
The official TSM account posted to its Subreddit to address fans’ concerns about the current situation surrounding the organization. They express that they still make moves within the esports scene but have faced “challenges.”
“We want to reaffirm that TSM is still fully committed to esports,”said the post. “Although we cannot share many of the finer details of our plans for the future, we can confirm that we are actively looking to participate in multiple Tier 1 esports, including League of Legends, VALORANT, and Call of Duty.”
The organization also states that CoD has a “dedicated community,” which they want to be a part of. However, commenters beneath the initial post were not convinced by the statements. Saying that it was“too late”for TSM to make statements about joining other esports.
“TSM buying into a $25 million dollar spot in a seemingly dying league just to get a middle-of-the-pack team,” questioned a user on theCDL Reddit page. “None of this makes sense, especially with the history of TSM.”
The CDL recently laid off a significant portion ofits esports team, leaving a rumored only 12 employees left. Meanwhile, TSM has drastically cut down its staff to amere fraction of what it used to be.
Regardless, TSM have decided to re-enter Rocket League immediately, and they’ve expressed desire to get back to their former glory as one of the biggest orgs in esports.
