TSM team leaves organization

Team SoloMid's CS:GO team has decided to part ways with the organization following their IGL's removal.

Last month it was revealed that Team SoloMid had dropped former Cloud9 player Sean "seangares" Gares from their lineup after bringing him on board just a week prior following the player's involvement in a protest letter against the Professional Esports Association. Now it seems the rest of team will be following suit with today's announcement that they have cut ties with the organization in order to keep playing with seangares as their in-game leader. Read the following statement from TSM on the matter below:

In light of recent events regarding ex-player Sean ‘sgares’ Gares, we are announcing the departure of our CS:GO Squad consisting of Russel ‘Twistzz’ David Van Dulken, Shahzeb ‘ShahZaM’ Khan, Skyler ‘Relyks’ Weaver, and Hunter ‘SicK’ Mims. This decision was made after the relationships between the organization and the remaining players continued to deteriorate over the past few weeks, partly in due to the remaining squad’s explicit desire to continue playing together with sgares.

Team SoloMid is an organization that is built on having the future of its players as a top priority. Given the current situation, it was clear that the correct decision for us was to find a new home where the four players could continue their careers along with Sean. As such, we spent the last few weeks searching for the best option possible for the players, and eventually selected the option that the players themselves most desired. As for the EPL spot, earned by Semphis, FNS, Relyks, SicK, and Twistzz, we will be transferring that to their new organization. It is extremely unfortunate that our experience in CS:GO has resulted in a situation such as this, and we are extremely disappointed that we were unable to keep the squad together underneath the TSM banner. Nonetheless, there are no grudges held over the result and we wish them all the best of luck in their continuing careers.
