TSM is a world-recognized leader in esports with multiple top-ranked competitive teams, including the most notable League of Legends team who has won 7 LCS Championships, more than any other organization.

In 2020, TSM opened our first performance center in Playa Vista, CA - a $50 Million state of the art facility focused on cutting edge performance technology that operates as our central hub and headquarters. Most recently, TSM landed the largest partnership deal in esports history with FTX.
