TSM is looking for a manager to return to CS:GO

Apparently, the American organization TSM has been planning to return to the professional Counter-Strike scene for a while. This season, they’re seemingly getting a little closer to their goal.

An ad was found on LinkedIn where the organization is looking for a new General Manager for CS:GO. So, TSM is presumably already preparing to return, and anyone can apply for the post.

The org’s CS:GO past hasn’t always been rosy, but now it’s caught up, aiming to rock the scene again in NA!

TSM looking for General Manager

The job posting could give aspiring GMs a glimpse of what they want to do in the future. The organization is looking for someone with “high subject matter knowledge and understanding of the highly competitive CS:GO landscape with the ability to navigate an industry that is constantly evolving” and “fluent in English” to name a few. Furthermore, TSM is also looking for someone who “knows how to build strong teams and deliver on player expectations”.

The comeback of the organization was already announced last October. Dominic Kallas, Vice President of Esports at TSM, commented:

“Yes, TSM will return to CS:GO in 2023. I think it’s important to know that we’re not just going to buy a top-five team. I have German citizenship and will be spending significant time in Europe working with a local GM to build the roster and infrastructure necessary for the success of this team. We have already started discussions with ESL and BLAST on how TSM CS:GO can thrive in Europe through long-term partnerships.”

TSM’s CS:GO past

It wouldn’t be the first time TSM has been a part of the CS:GO scene. There was a time when the team consisted of Counter-Strike legends Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen, Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz, and Andreas “Xyp9x” Højsleth before joining Astralis in 2016, and we all know how good the team was after their departure.

After the Danes switched to Astralis, the organization focused on the North American CS:GO region. They picked up some of the best up-and-coming players on the scene back then (including FaZe’s Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken) but only managed to achieve mediocre results in 2017.

TSM ended its involvement in CS:GO in 2017 after there was a controversy surrounding ex-TSM player Sean Gares, who left the team and joined the Misfits over a “player rights” dispute. Shortly after this incident, the rest of the team followed Gares to Misfits. We are excited for the comeback!
