They’ve always been a team that plays well with explosives – Achieved in particular is lethal with frag grenades and C4s. The change has allowed TSM FTX to get more clear information disseminated throughout their ranks. TSM FTX only dropped a single map in the NA SI Qualifier – albeit against NACL team 1shot. So far, these role changes have seemed to work out. In order to compensate, Pojoman says Jason “Beaulo” Doty has pivoted to those roles – he’s the new first man in the door.

In the past, Merc has been on the Ash, he’s been the first guy through the door, the primary entry. The pivot has taken Achieved off the leash, but has placed Merc on it. So he found it was in interfering with his gameplay, where it was kind of like he couldn't do his job properly,” Pojoman said. But like as the primary like Sledge kind of Buck-like top-down player…It's not really the best position to like call things a lot of the time. “So we kind of came to that conclusion because, originally, we had as our IGL and he did like an insane job idea, and, like, he's really good. According to TSM FTX head coach Owen “Pojoman” Mitura, the decision came from a need for more flexibility. Now, six months later, TSM FTX isn’t just at full strength, there's been a big change – Merc is IGLing.

TSM FTX were out in groups – a placing that before the positive diagnosis was unthinkable. Then, at the Mexico Major, Bryan “Merc” Wrzek caught COVID, and couldn’t go. They started the year off strong, they were the only non-Brazilian team left in the Six Invitational 2021 semifinals, and had a solid performance in Stage 1 and 2 of the NAL. For the most part, 2021 has been a season to forget for TSM FTX.
