TSM's rumored roster breeze past Aether in CCT NA debut
The rumored TSM roster spearheaded by veterans Anthony "vanity" Malaspina and Edgar "MarKE" Maldonado debuted with a comfortable victory against Aether on January 16 in CCT Season 2 NA Series 4's opening round. For now, vanity and co. are using the tag Getting Info, but Dust2.us reported they're on their way to join TSM.
The CCT NA debut also was vanity's first CS match since 2020, when he left Chaos and departed Valve's FPS to pursue a career in VALORANT.
And vanity didn't run into any major problems against Aether. He dropped 26 kills and barely showed any signs of rust.
The MVP of the match, however, was Carson "nosraC" O'Reilly. The former Nouns rifler was practically unstoppable and carried his side with 42 kills of his own. The result and stats show how big the difference is between TSM's rumored roster and Aether, an ESEA Advanced squad.
