TSM won 2-0 against Gen G in the open qualifier and secured a chance to compete in Stage 2 Challengers 2 of the Valorant Champions Tour 2021 North America.

After winning against Resonate and Soniqs in Round 32 and Round 16, TSM faced Gen G in Round 8 in the open qualifier of the Valorant Champions Tour 2021 North America Stage 2 Challengers 2.

TSM dominated the entire match due largely to Matthew ''WARDELL'' Yu and his amazing performance throughout. Even the official VCT NA Twitter account joined in, claiming it was insane after Wardell secured a quad kill in the pistol round of the first match.
