TSM CEO Andy \u201cReginald\u201d Dinh has been accused of fostering a “culture of fear” in TSM and Blitz, a company Dinh co-founded, according to a Washington Post report by Mikhail Klimentov<\/a>.<\/p>
Riot Games, which operates the LCS and VALORANT<\/em> Champions Tour, told WIRED<\/a> in January that it launched an investigation into Dinh following allegations from former TSM League of Legends<\/em> player Doublelift<\/a>, who claimed that Dinh was a “bully” and verbally abused several players to the point that the players began to cry.<\/p>
In January, WIRED’s Cecilia D’Anastasio reported<\/a> numerous alleged instances in which Dinh engaged in “mental abuse” and led to TSM being “dominated by a culture of fear,” a term also used by a former employee who spoke with the Washington Post.<\/p>
Update May 4 11:17am CT:<\/strong> Dinh commented on the Washington Post’s report on Reddit<\/a>, specifically in regard to the firing of TSM’s head of human resources. He said that the person asked for “recommendations on hiring for a competing organization” and that Dinh and that person disagreed about whether that was “a good use of time.” Dinh defended the firing, saying that he did not believe the “approach was effective or would work long term,” which led Dinh to believe it was “best to part ways sooner rather than later.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
