Misfits sign ex-TSM

Misfits have announced that they have expanded to Counter-Strike with the signing of the former TSM lineup.

The team had been released by TSM earlier on Saturday following a drawn-out saga that led to the departure of Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares, with whom the remaining four players decided to stick. 

Misfits made headlines earlier this week as they partnered with NBA franchise Miami Heat, who will assist with the team's marketing, branding and promotion, among other responsibilities. 


ex-TSM will play for Misfits 

The North American organisation, whose League of Legends squad recently secured promotion to EU LCS, also own teams in Hearthstone, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm and Super Smash Bros.

In addition to signing the former TSM roster, Misfits have also secured the team's spot in the fifth edition of the ESL Pro League, which will have a $1 Million prize pool. 

Misfits' CS:GO team consist of:

United States Hunter "⁠SicK⁠" Mims
United States Skyler "⁠Relyks⁠" Weaver
Canada Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken
United States Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares
United States Shahzeb "⁠ShahZaM⁠" Khan

From LoL wiki "Misfits was formed in May 2016 to play in the EUCS Summer Qualifiers after their former parent organization Renegades was banned from competitive play and so could no longer compete under the name Renegades: Banditos." Small org and not even a year old, so most people probably have never heard of them
2017-01-14 22:37

Afaik they existed before Renegades, when Montecristo created RNG he bought misfits LCS slot and roster, turning the misfits brand into the RNG banditos (LCS challenger team)
