Andy and Dan Dinh start TSM from the SoloMid.net League of Legends blog in September 2009. In June 2021 FTX signs a ten year, $210 million naming deal, the largest in esports, and the team plays as TSM FTX; FTX files for bankruptcy on November 11, 2022 and TSM suspends the deal and drops the logos on November 16, 2022. Riot fines TSM $75,000 in 2022 over Andy Dinh's conduct. TSM sells its LCS slot in 2023, benches Counter Strike at the end of 2024 and exits Valorant on November 3, 2025 after a second place finish at Ascension Americas.
