Although a relatively new addition to the roster of eSports FPS titles, Valorant has already built a globally competitive ecosystem. Riot Games has been pushing hard to raise the competitive stature of its tactical FPS to the same level as its iconic MMORPG League of Legends.
Valorant is currently on the way to its first-ever global championship as well. Along with this, we have a lot of iconic eSports organizations gearing up to make their name in the game.
Speaking of which, major eSports organization TSM just made a notable addition to its roster. As of now, TSM has had a five-person Valorant roster. However, confirming the ongoing rumors, the organization has signed Braxton “brax” Pierce as the sixth person on the roster.

Brax joins TSM’s Valorant roster as a rotational player
The former CS: GO champion had received a ban from Valve back in 2014 following match-fixing allegations. Subsequently, the player joined the T1 Valorant roster, where he proved to be invaluable during the early days of the game. However, due to a decline in his performance, T1 let him go.
And now, Brax is off to a fresh start at the hands of TSM. The team will be preserving its original Sentinels lineup, with Brax as the sixth man on the roster. However, the team already features two duelists, Taylor “drone” Johnson and Matthew “WARDELL” Yu. With Brax in the mix, looks like one of them might have to alter his role.

In all honesty, the recent performances that the organization has delivered have not been very impressive. With this move, the team is optimistic about taking it back to its glory days. We wish TSM all the luck!
