\nRiot Games recently announced its 30 selected Valorant partners for the Valorant Champions Tour<\/a> 2023 international leagues, and TSM were not mentioned in the list. While several unselected teams decided to withdraw from Valorant, TSM have announced that they would carry on operations within the esports title.<\/p>\n

The organization posted an announcement video where the Vice President of TSM, Dominic Kallas, revealed that the company was disappointed at not being selected as a partner. He went on to thank everyone involved, including the fans, players, staff, and partners.<\/p>\n

Kallas further revealed that during the application process, TSM ensured that they were \u201c110%\u201d invested and had been a part of Valorant in various ways since the very beginning. The VP reassured fans that TSM would continue with their Valorant roster and had no intention of leaving due to the lack of a partnership.<\/p>\n

\u201cTSM isn\u2019t leaving VALORANT<\/a>. We\u2019ll continue to field a competitive VALORANT roster and provide competitive player salaries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTSM has been a partner with Riot since 2013, and is one of the few profitable esports orgs, so it doesn\u2019t make sense for us to get up and leave the scene tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
