Iconic esports organization TSM is now an HCS partner and has announced their roster competing in Halo Infinite.

Halo Studios had a busy day on January 31, 2025. They showcased the upcoming Operation Frontlines and revealed the 2025 HCS roadmap. We got our first look at the maps and modes being played, as well as new partnered teams. One of those is TSM, who quickly revealed their Halo Infinite roster.

TSM is an iconic esports organization, so their inclusion in the HCS partnership program should definitely bring more eyes to the game. And with a formidable team, they'll look to make an immediate impact in the Halo Championship Series.

Halo Studios mentioned during their developer stream that they've been talking to TSM for years. And those talks have finally led somewhere, as they join the HCS partnership program. TSM in Halo is a done deal.

Here is the roster they announced:

  • Youssef "Cherished" Shaaban
  • Roman "Druk" Nasirudin
  • Michael "SoulSnipe" Girgis
  • Hunter "Taulek" Davis
  • Trey (Coach)

All players are former Pure, except for SoulSnipe who last played for Shopify Rebellion, another new partnered team to the HCS. Pure placed 4th at the Halo World Championship 2024 and SoulSnip snagged 3rd place at multiple 2024 Majors with SR.

Trey joins on as coach, with previous experience on Oxygen, Native, Gamers First, and Proton. He was also along for the ride with the 4th place Pure team at Champs. With TSM's announcement of joining Halo, many worried there wasn't much talent left with most teams filling out their rosters.

That absolutely turned out to be incorrect. TSM has put together a team that can definitely compete with the best and more established squads in the HCS. We'll just have to see them in action with the 2025 HCS kicks off later this year.
