The end of an era has come for TSM, one of the most prolific LoL Esports organizations in the Americas. The League of Legends team of TSM is selling its LCS spot to Shopify Rebellion starting in 2024.
When it comes to the American LoL Esports, TSM is one of the most popular and fan-favorite teams. However, their latest LCS runs were far from successful, leaving the team with the option to sell their spot in the League. According to a source close to Kellen Browning, New York Times reporter, Shopify Rebellion paid a whopping $10 million for TSM’s spot in the LCS, making it the 10th team to complete in 2024.
