TSM Darkness was a North American challenger team.
History[]
2015 Season[]
After the announcement that the team would be competing in the NA Challenger Series, Team Confound joined the Team SoloMid organization under the name TSM Darkness.[1]
In late March, before the fifth week of competition of the Challenger Series, it was revealed that AD carry t3azer had leaked footage of TSM Darkness's scrims with CLG Black to Team Fusion, prior to the games between CLG Black and Team Fusion in the fourth week.[2] As a result of these actions, Team SoloMid dropped their sponsorship of the team.[3] It was suggested that the team's 1-7 record to date in the NACS contributed to TSM's decision.[4] However, the players' contracts with TSM were not set to expire until April 21.
After TSM released them, Arcsecond, Big Ol Ron, and Indivisible, three of the roster's players, stated that they planned to take legal action against the company.[5]
Despite TSM releasing them, the team continued to play under the name TSM Darkness through the last week of the NACS Spring Season, where they placed 5th after winning a tiebreaker game against CLG Black. On April 5, the roster announced that they would now compete under the name Elomingle, with ShorterACE replacing Inori in the jungle and an AD carry player to be determined.
