North American League of Legends team - Team SoloMid (TSM) appears to be approaching the end of its tenure in the region. Amidst a turbulent few years marked by struggles and transformations, TSM's CEO, Andy "Reginald" Dinh, confirmed the organization's plans to transition to another tier one region. As the team embarks on an upcoming lower bracket run, speculations arise that this could be the final chapter of TSM's storied journey in the LCS.

Once perched atop the regional throne as perennial LCS champions, TSM boasted a roster filled with superstar talent and an ardent fanbase. The pinnacle of their success culminated during the 2020 LCS Summer Split when Doublelift and Bjergsen united to reclaim the coveted crown. However, their triumph was short-lived, and a devastating blow awaited them at the World Championship. The championship-winning roster suffered a heartbreaking fate, becoming the first pool one team in history to exit the group stage without a single victory. This marked the turning point, initiating a decline that cast shadows over the once-dominant organization.

In the subsequent seasons, TSM's journey spiraled downward as roster swaps failed to produce the desired synergy. The arrival of star players like Spica, SwordArt, Huni, and Maple promised potential, but the lineups struggled to gel cohesively in time for a deep playoff run. With every attempt to recapture their former glory, TSM found themselves descending lower down the regular season standings, mired in mediocrity.

As the recent season concluded, TSM emerged as a middle-of-the-pack roster, finishing with an 8-10 record, failing to make a significant impact. Their recent loss to Evil Geniuses further underscored the challenges faced by the organization. Now, facing an uphill battle in the lower bracket of the postseason, TSM's first challenge comes in the form of a showdown with Dignitas.

The decision of TSM to leave the LCS evoked mixed emotions from the North American community, with many prominent figures expressing their discontent. While some mourned the potential loss of the TSM that once defined the league, others felt that the organization had already distanced itself from its roots, signaling a shift in focus.
