This word is a clear compound made up of 'das Turnier' (the tournament) and 'der Sieg' (the victory). The '-s-' in the middle is a linking sound that connects the two words. Literally, it therefore means 'der Sieg in einem Turnier' (the victory in a tournament).
Der Turniersieg war eine große Überraschung für das ganze Team.
The tournament victory was a big surprise for the whole team.
If you know 'Turniersieg' (tournament victory), you can also easily understand other words with the component '-sieg' (victory). Examples are 'der Wahlsieg' (victory in an election) or 'der Etappensieg' (victory in a stage of a race).
Der Kantersieg der Heimmannschaft wurde von den Fans gefeiert.

'Turniersieg' (tournament victory) is often combined with verbs of achieving or celebrating. Typical phrases are 'einen Turniersieg erringen' (to achieve a tournament victory), 'einen Turniersieg feiern' (to celebrate a tournament victory), or 'den Turniersieg holen' (to get/win the tournament victory).

success
'der Erfolg' and 'der Turniersieg' can both describe a positive result. However, 'Erfolg' is general and fits many goals: work, school, sports, or everyday life. 'Turniersieg' is much more specific and means that someone has won a tournament, that is, a competition with several rounds or games. Learners may confuse the words because a tournament victory is always a success. But not every success is a tournament victory. If no tournament is meant, 'Erfolg' is the right word.
Nach dem letzten Spiel feierte das Team den Turniersieg.
After the final game, the team celebrated the tournament victory.
