Many fans have been worried about who else may leave Team SoloMid following DoubleLift taking time off. Today, owner Andy “Reginald” Dinh announced on Twitter that TSM have renewed the contracts of both Kevin “Hauntzer” Yarnell, and Dennis “Svenskeren” Johnsen.
For all the fans that were wondering, we’ve already renewed agreements with @lolHauntzer and @TSMSvenskeren for 2017 🙂

This is big news for TSM fans, as this means these players will be around to stay for some time to come. Whilst these players contracts have been confirmed, there has not been an announcement on whether Vincent “Biofrost” Wang, and fan favourite Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg will actually be having their contracts renewed. Bjersen is contracted until Nov. 18, but it is unclear when Biofrost is contracted until.
Shortly after on Twitter, TSM went on to confirm that their new ADC for IEM Oakland will be none other than former team member Jason “WildTurtle” Tran.

With IEM Oakland just a few days away, TSM have managed to build up so much hype about who will play for them at IEM. Now that they have revealed their new ADC for the event, fans are sure to wonder how long he will stick around. WildTurtle may just be a stand in for Doublelift, this could potentially grow into something bigger.
