TSM finalizes LCS roster with Shenyi and Keaiduo

TSM announced on Twitter the final two pieces of its roster for the 2022 LCS Spring Split, Shenyi and Keaiduo. Alongside this, TSM announced several new members to its coaching staff. Former Hong Kong Attitude Coach, Chawy will join Peter Zhang, Kayys, and the rest of the TSM coaching staff.

Shenyi will fill the vacant support position left by SwordArt. The Chinese player is coming from FunPlus Phoenix, where he played on the Academy roster while occasional alternating in the starting lineup during the regular LPL season. The 19-year-old support player joined FPX Blaze in 2020, and TSM will only be his second team.

Keaiduo will make his LCS midlane debut on TSM. The 20-year-old midlaner is coming from Thunder Talk Young, a fellow LDL team. Keaiduo has never played as part of a starting roster, but will fill the void in TSM’s midlane.

Both players earned their spot at TSM during the organization’s month long combine in South Korea, where open tryouts were held. Both were allegedly top performers from the start of the try out period, and will now test their mettle on the biggest stage in North America.

This duo of Chinese players will join Spica, Huni, and Tactical as part of the starting roster. Former HKA Coach, Chawy is set to spearhead the roster and hopefully synergize this multi-national team.
