The new TSM Valorant team comprises the following players:

- TSM Catherine “Cath” Leroux

- TSM Zoe “Zoe” Servais

- TSM Emily “mle” Peters

- TSM Katherine “LunarKats” So

To any seasoned competitive FPS fans, one name in particular is likely to draw immediate recognition: Cath. An accomplished Counter-Strike: Global Offensive professional, Cath competed in teams like Dignitas, CLG Red, and UBNITED for several years. She earned a record four World Championships in the game’s female brackets before retiring from CS in 2019. The shift to Valorant will certainly make for a welcome return to competition in the eyes of her fans.
“I'm beyond excited to join a well-established organization like TSM and bring my previous experience from CS:GO into a fresh game like Valorant,” said Cath in TSM’s roster announcement post. “My competitive drive never left, and I'm looking forward to competing again under the TSM banner.”
THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG!
