TSM has completed its full VALORANT roster for the 2022 VCT season with two new additions in Corey “corey” Nigra from FaZe Clan and Daniel “Rossy” Abedrabbo from Immortals, the organization announced on Thursday.
“Excited to be a part of the TSM family!!” Corey said on twitter. “Want to say a big thank you to FaZe Clan for everything they have done for me since joining VALORANT. LET’S GET THIS BABY.”
The duo joins Matthew “Wardell” Yu, Yassine “Subroza” Taoufik and Aleko “LeviathanAG” Gaboniya as they endured a disappointing 2021 despite some initial, early successes. Coaches Andrew “aRubyz” Seewer and Austin “Apex” Copeland also remain with the organization after being promoted from TSM Academy to head coach and assistant coach, respectively.

TSM continues VALORANT roster moves
TSM attempted various VALORANT roster changes throughout 2021, but this ultimately resulted in the majority of the founding members leaving the team. Even newer players like Sean “bang” Bezerra and Braxton “brax” Pierce failed to make their mark on the team.
In 2022, TSM will make another attempt to bring the organization back to VALORANT glory. After failing to qualify for VCT 2021 Masters 2: Reykjavík, Masters 3: Berlin, the last chance qualifiers and therefore champions, TSM fell far behind after their strong performances in late 2020. With VALORANT star players like Wardell on the roster , TSM had looked like a team that should have done better on paper — but their lineup didn’t click when it mattered.
Excited to be apart of it @TSM Family!! would like to give @FaZeClan a big thank you for everything they have done for me since the move to Valorant. LET’S GET THIS BABY #TSMWIN https://t.co/VJFRRonzEI
