At one point during the Rainbow Six Siege <\/em>matches on June 14, the tag at the end of the TSM players\u2019 names read \u201c.TSMFTX\u201d during the team\u2019s 7-3 victory over Disrupt Gaming to reflect the organization\u2019s $210 million naming rights deal<\/a> with cryptocurrency exchange FTX. After a rehost for a \u201ctechnical issue,\u201d however, every TSM player\u2019s tag simply read \u201cTSM\u201d like their former, pre-deal branding. <\/p>\n

A TSM representative confirmed to Dot Esports that the organization is working out the details of the naming rights debate with R6<\/em> publisher Ubisoft, but \u201cno official decision has been made yet.\u201d <\/p>\n

TSM signed a deal worth $210 million with FTX to have the FTX name featured on TSM players\u2019 jerseys and tags. While Rainbow Six Siege<\/em> isn\u2019t the largest esport in the world, it\u2019s a significant player and a game that TSM excels in. As TSM, the roster finished fourth in the Six Invitational 2021, the best placement by a non-LATAM region team. <\/p>\n

Notably, Riot Games has blocked the org from using \u201cFTX\u201d<\/a> in North American esports competitions for its games like League of Legends<\/em> and VALORANT<\/em>, titles that TSM has teams competing in. <\/p>\n

Siege<\/em> teams are barred from sponsorships that feature alcoholic products, intoxicants (including cannabis), tobacco or electronic cigarettes, firearms, gambling, pornography, political campaigns, or \u201cany entities, companies or organizations that may, at Ubisoft\u2019s sole discretion, be considered detrimental to Ubisoft\u2019s business or reputation, including but not limited to, key sellers, hacking and botting, account selling, in-game currency or digital item selling services,\u201d according to section 8.6 in the public<\/a> R6<\/em> Circuit Global Rulebook.<\/p>\n

The rule also says that in the event a team is sponsored by these types of companies, they\u2019ll simply have to wear apparel free of their branding. There are no current public rules and guidelines around the name of a team, however. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear at this time whether cryptocurrency exchanges fall under this wide umbrella of barred sponsorships. Carve-outs for the exclusion of League of Legends<\/em> and VALORANT <\/em>were made in the initial deal but weren\u2019t made clear to the press at the time, according to previous reporting from Dot Esports.<\/p>\n

It was not indicated to Dot Esports that any similar carve-outs were made by TSM to Ubisoft. <\/p>\n

The $210 million figure brought a new era to the financial side of esports. The massive influx of cash to TSM is one of the largest public deals in the history of the esports scene. <\/p>\n
