TSM Pursuing Braxton “brax” Miller as Sixth Man for their VALORANT Roster
According to a report by Ryan Friend of Rush B Media, TSM is considering a unique option for its VALORANT roster. The organization is pursuing Braxton “brax” Miller for a sixth-man role on the team.
Hazed Absent from TSM’s VALORANT Scrims
Many members of the VALORANT community have noticed James “hazed” Cobb’s absence from TSM’s scrims recently.
TSM streamer and VCT co-streamer Myth showed the team’s VALORANT players scrimming without hazed on stream recently, citing that “his back is broke.” Hazed responded with the “eyes” emoji on the competitive VALORANT subreddit.
TSM is not benching hazed but instead reportedly moving him to a rotational role, according to the Rush B Media report.
In 2020, TSM was considered one of the top North American VALORANT teams. However, they have struggled in 2021 and failed to qualify for Masters in VCT Phase One. Brax initially signed with T1 over a year ago but left in early February.
The sixth-man trend, popularized by top CS:GO teams like Astralis, Natus Vincere, and Team Vitality, is now being experimented with in VALORANT by teams such as Cloud9 (White and Blue) and Team Heretics.
TSM is expected to compete in the open qualifiers for the first Challengers event of VCT Phase Two, starting on April 1.
