Swift Media Entertainment is a premier esports and gaming organization with teams all over the world. Swift has three business pillars; TSM, Icon Talent Agency, and the coaching app Blitz.gg.

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. Originally founded in 2009 by Andy Dinh and Dan Dinh, we now have 10+ competitive teams in addition to League of Legends, including Fortnite, Valorant, Apex, Rainbow 6 and more. We also have one of the largest networks of streamers on Twitch.tv (Subsid. Amazon) including Myth, ImperialHal, Wardell, Hikaru and Doublelift.

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.

All of this contributes to our mission to become the most competitive, popular and successful esports and video game organization in the world. We're seeking skilled, driven, and passionate team members to continue the momentum forward.
