Naidu is not the first longstanding TSM member to leave the club as of recent, as there’s been a wave of talent to say goodbye to the North American esports team. Leena Xu announced her exit from TSM on November 20, citing new management concerns.
Star streamer Myth announced he wouldn’t be renewing his contract with the club, and said: ““TSM sort of lost that family feel that I had with it, and that was a really big deal.”
TSM’s most iconic League player Bjergsen, who served as a player and coached for the team since 2013, also left the team ahead of the 2022 season.
Parth now joins the long-running list of top-tier talent who have left TSM the last calendar year.
