Ellie joins TSM X team after leaving XSET Purple

TSM X Welcomes New Addition to VALORANT Roster

XSET Purple’s Elena “Ellie” Garland has found a new home with TSM X, just days after being released from the VALORANT Game Changers roster. Joining TSM X completes the team’s roster as they prepare to compete in the upcoming NA Game Changers event and aim to qualify for the VCT Game Changers Champions event later this year.

Exciting Announcement from TSM X

TSM X recently announced the addition of Ellie to their VALORANT roster. With this latest roster change, TSM X is now ready to compete in the last NA Game Changers event. Their ultimate goal is to secure a spot in the VCT Game Changers Champions event, set to take place later this year.

TSM X’s Success in Game Changers Circuit

TSM X has performed well in the Game Changers circuit this year. They achieved fifth-sixth place in the first NA Game Changers tournament of 2022 and improved their ranking by finishing third in the second tournament. Their strong performance put them just behind Shopify Rebellion and Cloud9 White.

Elli replaces Cathy Leroux (also known as “cath”), who left TSM X in July after the conclusion of the last Game Changers event in NA. The team has been searching for a permanent replacement since cath’s departure.

Elli’s Journey in the VALORANT Scene

Before joining TSM X, Ellie started her VALORANT career with the team Man I Love Fwogs, which disbanded after a few months. She then joined NOTHING2LOSE, which eventually got acquired by XSET Purple. Ellie spent almost a year with XSET Purple before signing with TSM X.

With Ellie now part of TSM X, XSET Purple has one remaining spot on their team that has yet to be filled. Ellie will compete alongside TSM X in the upcoming NA VCT Game Changers event, starting on October 6. The main event will take place from October 12 to 16. This tournament holds great significance as it is the last chance for teams to earn points and qualify for Champions. The event’s winner will secure a spot in Champions, regardless of points earned.
