XTQZZZ released from TSM Counter-Strike coaching contract

Rémy “XTQZZZ” Quoniam has been released from TSM on Ovt. 7. following a rocky attempt to bring the brand a title in Counter-Strike. After the esports org announced its intent to return to Counter-Strike in late 2022, the brand still has not featured in an upper-tier event. TSM’s new CS roster was initially leaked in Aug. 2023, winning their debut series in an online cup on Sep. 4.

Overall, the storied brand’s return to Counter-Strike has been underwhelming so far. The architect of the project semi-officially left the rebuild in July 2023, and the roster assembled doesn’t look like it can punch above its middleweight status.
