TSM making 6-man roster
Rumors had mounted of TSM potentially dropping Hazed, after the player was spotted not participating in scrims. But now the storied NA org has expanded their Valorant roster by adding brax to mixup the lineup.
Brax would join the squad as the sixth player, rather than directly replacing anyone on the current roster.
Brax was infamously part of the seven CSGO players permanently banned from Valve-sanctioned tournaments after a match-fixing scandal during his time on iBuyPower.

Brax most recently played for T1 in Valorant, where the team struggled to match expectations despite star talent like Skadoodle and AZK.
Brax’s move to free agency
Both Brax and AZK left T1 in February, and has been teamless before the former joined TSM. Other organizations had also approached him.
