The move marks a return to their roots forTSM<\/strong>, who entered Counter-Strike in 2015 by signing a Danish team that eventually joined Astralis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

‘acoR’ <\/strong>signs for the squad as the primary AWPer from GamerLegion<\/strong>, who he played for since September 2022 before getting removed after the Copenhagen Major<\/strong>.

The final piece of the puzzle is ‘niko’<\/strong>, who joins after a short period of inactivity. The 26-year-old departed Sashi <\/strong>in April and temporarily played for Grannys Knockers <\/strong>before entering free agency.<\/p>\n
