TSM Has "Only 9 People Left" 

anyone who watched league in the early days (2011-2013) knows andy aka reginald is a terrible person

the way that regi ran the biggest brand with the most loyal fanbase in American e-sports into the ground should be studied in history books, as what not to do

Cant wait for Regi to fade into obscurity

Not only should Reginald fade away, he should be absolutely blacklisted...

What a terrible way to just completely destroy a pillar of the eSports community. Regi should be shamed for all of his bonehead decisions and, more than anything, his greed.

Doublelift wins another title

will never get over news outlets saying with a straight face "TSM investigated itself and found itself innocent" every time they have to summarize any TSM-related news

So sad that one person can ruin a whole org.

I feel bad for the people who lost their jobs. I have zero empathy or sympathy for Regi. He deserves all of this. He had this coming.

I remember regi from season 2 of LCS or whichever seasons he played for it, and I still remember what he did to Dyrus. The fact that an organization whose owner can do that to an employee, teammate and friend (?) lasted this long is absolutely beyond my small brain's capability to understand.

Lmao Reggie would burn the company before selling it

Great news. TSM have destroyed so many players carrier with their incompetence

It is tremendously sad because a goated team got signed by TSM on Rocket League, knowing the Reginald's rep I don't feel like the org will maintain itself in the scene, truly unfortunate

Looks like reggie has to sell that lambo after all 😂

I worked in R6S esports and have been saying this for some years now to close friends, Regi was going to destroy his own empire out of ego and lack of awareness of what he was doing and how he was acting. Even when I moved regions from NA to LATAM/BR I kept hearing crazy and insane things regarding his temper. Went to work with CBLOL and still heard the same stuff from peeps that migrated regions or had friends in the LCS. Its insane the level this man went to destroy his reputation and his brand.

Regi gets what he deserves

Regi killed TSM. There is a video where Dyrus and him are having an argument. I never thought that this would scale up to this.

That is pretty shocking, you're right. It's 8 more people than I expected it to have.

Dang, must be crazy for ImperialHal, Verhulst, and Reps right now especially since they are about to go into the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) Championship....

This outcome was basically the only one after the whole FTX implosion, a ton if not all of TSM plans were tie to that money deal and suddenly everything was gone. The final nail in the coffin was leaving the LCS and never securing any spot in other major or even minor region for LoL, the only value the company had was completly gone.

TSM is gone kek

Chaox is smiling at this.

"Theres NO FUCKING WAY I would ever let us end up like CLG. I would sell my house ,car and clothes, my everything to sign the best talent at that point." - Reginald on Reddit, 29 Oct 2021

Man, it's so cathartic to see all of Regi's shit come back to absolutely destroy him.

I’ve been praying for times like this 🙏

TSM worth 540 Million sounds like overinflation.

mostly ftx being a scam and the interest rate increases meaning that the money has to chase more valuable stuff.

Any day now Leena will poke her head into Doublelift's co-stream as usual and reveal that SHE was actually the brains behind TSM all along and that the org's collapse was inevitable without her. She will also reveal that she taught Bjergsen how to play Mid, despite never reaching a rank beyond Silver 3 herself.

Man i remember cheering for tsm back in high school.. I love watching dyrus, oddone, biofrost ❤

When they left NA to "go to other regions", I laughed because I wondered if literally ANYONE there considered if they could even enter another region.

Wish they would get their act together

Couldn't happen to a nicer org.

Its beautiful how the even the biggest things at one time can fall into obscurity over their own mistakes

At one point, far in the past, Regi should've acknowledged that TSM grew way out of his control, and he should have hired an experienced person that can handle such a large organization.

Regi messed up when he destroyed that 2016 team. What a fool.

I mean inst the logical progression for it to pair down until only the one Solo Mid is left?

Man, I remember the good ol days when they did IRL vods. Good times

FTX dying pretty much was the death nail. I knew TSM was going to die as soon as I heard that.

They signed a deal that turned out to be basically "Worthless" with FTX. Is it really surprising that expanding based upon that "Investment" screwed them over immensely??

Andys older brother, whom I unfortunately forgot his name was ones titled as co-founder. I believe his older brother was the level headed one out of the 2 from the early days. If my memory serves me right he was always the chill one and ive seen him act more of a leader than Andy. I believe if his brother was still around as being the co founder of TSM this organization would be in a better position. TSM was ones my favorite esports organization and haven't followed League for a long time now. I would also see some videos about how TSM is breaking apart, and it saddens me. Now this video pops up on my feed, and because of this news I have finally made my final decision as of today I will be departing from TSM completely as a long time fan since season 1 of LoL. Its hard seeing them fall apart and i dont want to be here when they disappear for good. If by a miracle TSM makes a comeback I will still keep my distance.

watching the old TSM videos it was obvious that Regi never should have been in charge, nor was he deserving of it

Reginald basically sank the company

TSM had such a cool RU-vid series with their lcs team back in like 2014

Sad to see. I loved watching TSM play every week in LCS. Legends use to be weekly viewing as well. Bummer

Have Mr Beast buy TSM he was thinking about buying an esports team anyways. He might revive them unlike Reggie slowly killing them

Announcing unprecedented growth followed immediately by total implosion is always a sight to behold.

Im sure the erobb221 signing didn't help

TSM is done. serves Reginald right.

This is what happens when you leave a gamer with a high school education as the CEO of a large business.

Sad to see them fall like this

What makes us mad the most is we can look back at Bjerg who gave it his all!! He was TSM

Does that include blitz app? Because the financial department can be merged with blitz...

As a CLG fan, this makes me all warm inside.

The OG Tsm house videos were some of the best days in LoL history imo; Sad to say regi took such a turn in the eyes of the Public. Dude could be such a hero in this community if he just could get his anger together

Regi having communication problems, shocker

Reginald's net worth is estimated to be around 4.5 million dollars. ..not bad for retirement

As someone whose stepped away from the esports scene for 3-4 years now. Returning to check out some Score Esports Videos and first and foremost seeing how little views the videos were getting compared to what they used to be then hearing about the rather poor state of esports it’s kinda sad. Last I saw esports looked like it was on the bring of being a good standing regular thing and now it appears as if it’s kinda gone to shit and the views and interest jn the realm as seemingly gone to shit across the board

I never understood why people were even loyal to teams anyway. When i watched the pro scene I did so for the players which were vontaatly being rotated to other teams.

I laughed so hard. OMFG thank you for making this week for me XDDDDD

TSM taking the Crypto scam deal was the final coffin for the organisation.

Tbh at this point the best thing Regi can do for both the org and protecting his own wealth is to simply sell the org while the name "TSM" still has some remaining value. It can be absorbed into one of the newer esports orgs that are well run but don't have a strong brand name. Hire a couple of beloved former TSM figures to be players, coaches, streamers or whatever in order to create a sense of continuity between the old TSM and the new TSM, and boom, you probably can bring back a decent number of the fans lost in the last few years AND save a legendary pillar of esports history

maybe this is the only way for tsm to survive.... idk

I’m hoping a well liked and known creator in the space of league of legends acquires TSM to bring it back to what it was known for and recovers the reputation of the organization.

Glad I jumped ship years ago. Bjerg saw it coming. Cloud9 is the true NA org.

I genuinely believed to see TSM debut in LPL 😮

I've hated TSM for over a decade so this is music to my ears.

Duncan Cox? What a name

in Germany we say: "togesagte leben länger" I dont think TSM will just fade away, I mean the 9 people left statement makes no sense since the players are also employees... Even if it would come to an end with the current form of TSM I think there would most certainly be someone willing to buy the org because its still a prestigious name in Esports. lets wait and see what happens in the next few months, I think by then we will have a better picture of whats going on

Its funny to me that Reginald always defined himself by his succes and put himself over others when in reality he was just a gamer who was at the right spot at the right time, he wasnt even significantly good which is also the reason for his early retirement. He just got incredibly lucky to have some of the greatest e sport personalities on his team, his succes came from other people and he literally had to do nothing but harvest the goldmine and he managed to even fuck up that. This man has no accomplishments but an ego as if he achieved everything. His downfall is deserved. He showed time and time again that he doesnt want to better himself. He is just a bad character and his downfall was his own doing.

Cutting down is part of business

Erobb send his regards 😅

Let this be a lesson to everyone. Never trust a man without eyebrows.

As a long time loyal fan I think the only thing Regi ever did good was step down from mid, giving it to Bjergsen. You know everything was going down hill when everyone close to him left. Not to mention all the players that fans come to love left too which didn't help since that was their main attraction initially. Also doesn't help when your CEO is a bully with no leash.

This was inevitable as these orgs are spending absurd amount of money on players and stuff without figuring proper business model . Over paying way too much

GG This chunked me to 1 like a max range nid spear from fog

I wonder how much Reggie will sell me tsm for

What about Bjerg? i think he had a holding in the org... itll be sad if what he worked for thru his career sinks due to bad management

serious question: what if someone bought TSM and went under new management, will the fans return or the legacy just gonna be in it's back?

Doublelift gotta be enjoying life.

Oh my reginald

It couldn't happen to a better person

TS Eliot reference

lol koopa troopa taking solo mid literally.

Fondly remembering TSM's golden days in 2013 and 2015 with fantastic rosters featuring players like Dyrus, TheOddOne, Reginald, WildTurtle, Xpecial, Darshan, Xmithie, Pobelter, Doublelift, and aphromoo. Unfortunately, expressing disappointment in Reginald's management decisions and the negative impact on the team's legacy.

Justice

Regi really became the esports Dan Snyder 😭😭😭

Damn dude that sucks I was ready to see their Apex team win another lan

just like the bad old days

It all started when Regi bought that lambo

1:07 no melee? D:

Don't forget the Sword Art deal. They were spending waaaay too much on mediocre rosters.

The tier 1 region is soloq

Doublelift really ended Regi lol Guess he wasn't happy with Regi saying "You know I hit first right?" Doublelift "Bet."

NGL as sad as it is to see, it kinda makes me happy to see karma finally get to regi for all the bulshit he has done through the years

Ok thescore, where did you steal this breaking story from and forget to credit fully?

This is why you ask for all money up front, especially from a company as big as FTX supposedly was.

Investing in Nvidia is compelling due to its strong profitability, reflected in a favorable P/E ratio compared to industry peers, and an attractive forward P/E ratio. With anticipated strong August earnings Forward P/E is 54 Actual P/e (expecting a earnings beat) should be 45

sam bankman-fried Happened.

In all fairness, it was impossible for that announcement to ever come. That's because when the org made it public that they would be selling their LCS slot, they said they would be relocating to *another tier 1 region* , and since TSM wasn't playing in a tier 1 region at that time, it was impossible for this fact to come to fruition.

We all know this would've never gone well, anyone that followed Regi for any extended amount of time will know that the man's ego would've eventually meant his and the org's downfall one way or another. I hope there's some kind hearted investors that can step in and save the brand because Regi is in too deep.
