TSM in Talks to Bring on Juv3nile as Coach
Preston “Juv3nile” Dornon, the coach of Akrew’s VALORANT roster, is currently in discussions to join TSM as a coach, sources have revealed. It remains unclear if TSM’s head coach, Andrew “aRubyz” Seewer, will retain his position or if he will be demoted to make room for Juv3nile. However, Juv3nile is set to lead the team in tonight’s match against Zero MarksMen Silver.
TSM will be participating in the YFP Winter Classic tournament, which is not part of the VALORANT Champions Tour circuit. The tournament will commence today and conclude on February 23.
In the first stage of the North American VCT, TSM failed to qualify, losing to Akrew in the fifth round of the lower bracket on January 30. This loss brought an end to TSM’s run in the first open qualifier.
In the second open qualifier, TSM faced a defeat against Ghost Gaming, resulting in the team being sent to the lower bracket. Although TSM managed to defeat Complexity in the third round of the lower bracket, they were later taken down by Built by Gamers in the following round.
Since TSM did not qualify for either event, they will be unable to compete in the Riot-sponsored VCT circuit until later this year for Stage Two. The completion of Stage One will send two teams to Masters One, which is scheduled to take place in Reykjavík, Iceland.
Tonight, TSM will be participating in the YFP Winter Classic tournament along with Gen.G, Knights Academy, TSM Academy, T1, and FaZe Clan.
