TSM are announcing that they are acquiring an amateur scouting roster for League of Legends. Here is their announcement:
TSM Announcing Amateur Scouting Roster – What is it?
This amateur lineup that TSM has signed consists of 5 players which are not familiar to many. They have brought on Yujie “Eclipse” Wu as top laner, Ferdous “Infectrix” Hassan as Jugnler, William “Doxa” Lee as Mid, Alexander “Gorica” Gorica as ADC, and Braydon “Donbray” Phan as the team’s support. The only recognizable player form this team is TSM’s amateur ADC, as Gorica had previously represented the Golden Guardians Academy team in 2020.
This is what TSM said about this move:
“Over the past few months, players from various competitive tiers have been invited to in-houses run by our academy staff. Our goal was to provide a platform for a small group of amateur and solo queue players to get a slice of the competitive experience by coordinating scrims and providing feedback over a period of time. We discovered that some players, even under this minimal structure, improved dramatically in their game sense and approach to practice. “

What’s next?
With this roster acquisition, TSM are following in Cloud9’s footsteps, as they too have signed an ameteur team. The team’s first appearance will be in the 2021 Summer Split in the LCS. This is certainly a very interesting step from these orgs and we can’t wait to see what else they have in stock for 2021!
