well because that was ages ago and people would think that he has changed or give him benefit of the doubt. Also its been covered up so I can see why some may be surprised.
@@JnxakaBeasie Depends what you mean by not caring, i'm surely not launching a social justice crusade about it but i always disliked tsm because of him since the Dyrus incident, not everyone feels the need to shout to the world their indignation on twitter or whatever the kids do nowadays, i can simply dislike something, hope it crashes in flames and not support it. Btw what he does has a name in work environments, and it's not legal.
Andy has never been seen as a likeable person lmao. I remember watching a video a long time ago where they asked how he came up with the name Reginald and he said something along the lines of "I thought of the most unlikeable name that people would hate to lose to." Even when he was still a player on TSM there's the video where he made Dyrus rage. He's always been an instigator and bully. I'm on DL's side 100%
Yes even now I listen to his interview etc, I personally never liked tsm or Reginald I was more of a team liquid. My thoughts aren’t bias, it’s just that he just seems a bully, and some narcissistic almost, just I see him as a corporate factory trying to make money for the org. Maybe, or maybe it’s just who he is, regardless it’s wrong. As for double lift I always felt he stands up for something that is right. Fights back against what’s wrong.
@@jeffjohnson2264 you’re delusional if you think firing someone on the spot like that is ok at all. For any business this behavior from higher ups is not ok.
yea Exactly, TSM is a top tier team in NA, but I just don't like them from the beginning because the name TSM sounds stupid and the Logo as well. Good Job Andy
The biggest surprise that Dl actually uploaded all this to his channel. Which means he is rlly going all out with all this. Guess Bjergsen and Leena still being on Tsm was the only thing holding him back
Regis been like this ever since he became the owner of TSM. He literally showed his true colors during TSM gaming house and baylife/chaox days. I think we just forgot because he shut his mouth for a few years after he retired from playing. Glad someone in a high position in esports is putting him on blast when most people wouldnt have the balls too. Big respect peter
I went on TSM's sub to laugh and they posted as soon as this started "Dlift is streaming again and it's spicy" or some shit like that so, not weird at all
I was a huge TSM fan back in the day when Reginald was on the roster playing alongside Dyrus, TheOddOne, Chaox/Wildturtle, and xpecial. If you were to watch some of the TSM's day in the life or whatever you call it back then, you can see day by day Reginald giving everyone emotional trauma
reginald would actually bully the entire team and film it and post it on youtube back in the day, I’ve always been a TSM fan but i’ve always hated regi’s guts. Now that Soren isn’t on the team anymore, I couldn’t care less abt the org. I hope TSM crashes and burns and regi has to crawl back to everyone who made the org and beg them to come back
@@Nortunie It;s pretty fucked up, eh. Can only imagine what kinda shit he got up to when the camera was switched off. The way he treated sme of those players; Acting like a straight up baby.
this one where xspecial is purely depressed and listen to every word he says for the first 4 minutes ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HodPa9Aq9mg.html
Literally the guy filming the behind the scenes of regi flaming tf out of his team said they actually cut the worst of it. So when we saw those videos of regi just shitting on theoddone and dyrus, know that it was actually worse. *edit: fixed a typo
@@jimai808 damn what an ego. He lucked out coming so early to the scene. Could've sold out like Hotshot GG but he stuck it out. Which you can respect but seems that it feeds his ego.
I was doubting some of the stuff DL was saying, but after watching all those regi videos of him arguing/flaming ex-TSM players, I think DL is just speaking the truth lol
@@seffer9772 victims defending their bully is nothing new lmao they were told they were worthless and that it was all their fault for years that they end up believing that
I know it's only one example, which happened a long time ago as well, but I'm still pissed off at that video of Reginald lambasting WildTurtle in the car after their loss to CLG. That's some of the most disgusting bully behaviour I've ever seen. Obviously it doesn't automatically prove everything DL says here but it sure makes it a lot more believable.
@@axel7445 they literally shouldn't have. His behavior is repeated, and therefore inexcusable. We're all human. We make mistakes. We say things in heated moments and regret them. We apologize and move on and try to never do them again. Regi does them again.
hello, big Doublelift fan here. I have playlists of dozens of interviews, team content, discsussions of Doublelift if you want to use and organize them onto your channel. A lot of older stuff is gradually disappearing so you might want to make copies if you can. The playlists are public.
tbh his current GF is really hot. but we all know some people must learn (in this case, deserved) the hard way. Bol Bol from Denver Nuggets learned it the hard way like a month ago with that 'instagram model' hahaha
@@asdf0747 is Regi's current gf the one on the boat in his instagram? She's not that hot. TBH Leena isn't that hot either IMO. DL's ex, Bonnie IMO was better than both.
OMG TSM HOLY WAR PART TWO SOMEONE SHINE THE THORIN SYMBOL INTO THE SKY WERE IS THE AVATAR WHEN WE NEED HIM MOST. I LITERALLY CANNOT WAIT FOR THORIN & MONTE TO GET THEIR HANDS ON THIS.
Double himself agreed, at some point on TL I think can't remember exactly, that he can be a difficult person to work with. So on its own that criticism is valid.
he fell on his own sword which is smart. i think he agrees and wants to improve. but let's be honest, it's next to impossible hard and the change is very gradual.
@@asdf0747 DL has gotten much better at working on his issues. I think with every team he left especially CLG and TL he learned a lot about what's wrong with him. I think his change is pretty visible though.
Yup, the big diff with regi is that regi neves has had to own up to any of his shit because hes the big boss, so he just coverd it up. DL knows whats up because he comes from a similar attitude background, but got put on his place because of it coz he was an employee, while regi never learned/never HAD to learn shit to keep going. Hes still the fucking toxic wukong gold carding minions shitter
@@Hidea98 DL "trashtalk" is his brand. He can be disrespectful but is self-aware of his limits and has shown growth over the years. Meanwhile wukong is just a straight up douche
Makes you think that the most NEUTRAL statements about Regi are all from people who have financial backing in TSM, literally anyone who is 100% out of TSM says Regi is an asshat. Hmmmm
@@Stickerbrushes Oh that poll, who gives a fuck what randoms think when the majority of the professional scene that work with Reginald are backing him.
oh my god the editing can't better. thank you our lord and savior god DoubleLift. Regi needs to meet his retribution. I wonder what he can do without Leena in negotiations, his "best behavior" will earn him a spot in blocklist.
I’m still relatively new to League, but in that short time I’ve never seen anything or heard anything good about Reginald. My first thought when I heard Bjerg was leaving is that he finally had enough of his shit.
This has always been evident. As a long term TSM fan you could see it when Regi would play on the team. The team would be going to make a positive play somewhere to get an objective, and it would only be 4 because you had the Regi show going to get a "highlight reel". Loved when he stepped down because he was a detriment to TSM. Always has been.
This whole thing with Andy being a bully is why I held the opinion that so many of TSM's players would have done so much better on different orgs, I especially thought this of Bjerg when there were rumors of him leaving two years ago before they gave him some equity with TSM, I felt that he would do so much better with a breath of fresh air. And I think this just goes to show that Andy is the core reason why so many TSM players can start out incredibly promising, then take a steep dip in skill only to bounce back when they leave the org.
So much respect for Peters position on Regi. The ways Regi constantly abuses his position of power is unacceptable. He's a man baby who doesnt even seem to care about anything but his own self interest. Shouldnt be anywhere near a leadership role.
"Oh he's joking." Okay. So what's the joke then? That's the thing about that statement; it needs to actually be a joke and if you have to explain it it isn't a good one, lol.
a plat player can be a good coach, as being able to analyze the game and a player's performance and communicate that is totally different from actually playing the game. that said Regi has coached / been way more hands on in the past. by all accounts he's a terrible fit for that role.
@@DagarMan0 idk about that one brother, I know by fact that he was GM in korea last year, and im pretty sure you are not even plat, why would you trash talk someone that was on talks with T1 to be their coach?
@@ezequieltamez9318 this wasn't trash talk, just something I kinda remembered being discussed on reddit. if it's false or I may have confused coaches, i will edit my comment to be accurate, but the point was that being a good coach and analyst requires skills that don't necessarily translate into gameplay and vice-versa
i always liked how doublelift never holds back. guy knows his worth and built a whole career with nothing . also shows what he brings to every team he plays for drive, passion, and determination
Lol when i read the segment where Andy said doubleleift didn't want to play play Lehends. I knew that was a lie lmao. Legends is one of the best supports in lck. Why wouldn't you want to play with him? Corejj proved that you can come to NA and play well even if your English might not be fluent. In saying that cores English has improved a lot over the years
I never understood reginald keep getting away with being a bully. I still remember his discussion with dyrus when dyrus was streaming. You can see dyrus being sick of reginald. Because he is a bully, he gets in peoples head. He is a bad person. Period.
i can imagine what the conversation between doublelift and regi was when he made that lucian blunder at worlds. doubelift probably never saw the end of it
Dyrus Xpecial Wildturtle Svenskeren Santorin MikeYeung Zven Mithy Dardoch And doublelift are just a few players that had their own difficult experiences with TSM. Dyrus and Xpecial called a lot of aforementioned things early on. There's videos of them being super fed up with Regi back in season 2 or 3. Yet here we still are almost a decade later. DL is probably far from blameless in the whole situation, but there's a reason why TSM has ruined so many players and yet played better when they left.
lots of people surprised that someone notorious on the world has pointed it out now when in reality montecristo and thorin have been pointing out this shit from years
@@lostonmars2570 True this isnt pre franchise where teams get relegated and you have a chance to take a spot. You need to now buy an existing Org which are worth way too much money. I think Mark Cuban said they dont make a profit but claim they are worth 200 million
@@snarf0596 considering its bjergsen. He and DL can probably actually start their own org. They have the connections and the reputation so people would probably back them up.
Strait up too. Like na league was built on big egos and when they franchised they had to save face for public image. Regi doesn't fit in anymore and DL is bringing it into the spot light.
By effectively being a whistleblower, doublelift might actually create more bridges than he burns. Honestly he has much less to lose than Regi so mind as well vent out his (likely mostly valid) grievances. Regi might have someone who can help him write rebuttals, but probably not legitimate PR staff (a competent PR would probably tell him to ignore it and most importantly, not fire back).
I hate bullies like this because overcoming them takes an incredible amount of sacrifice and courage to do so. Often times the only option is to just get away from them, a very unsatisfying option I feel. They are like the devil in disguise, luring people in with what they want, and unless someone stands up to them, they move forward as if nothing happened. On the other side, the abused have to sacrifice their jobs, goals, dreams, friends, or even futures just to escape. Only if enough people leave will the bully will face the consequences of his actions. I hope that time comes soon. You can't hide from the truth forever. I hope this whole situation leaves Regi exactly where he belongs. Alone.
I have always disliked Regi since season 2, after seeing how he treated Dyrus, Xpecial and the others from early seasons I knew he was a toxic bully. People grow up but usually people like him don't change and get worse with money and power. I even made a post a few days ago talking about how I can't support TSM with regi as owner and got flamed to hell. There are videos of him screaming at dyrus and bullying xpecial after a game lol. People are so blind
@@Bai_Su_Zhen my prediction for the top 3 team 2022 will be : 1 TL : bwipo-santorin-bjer-han sama-corjj 2 EG : impact-inspire-jensen-DL-volcan? 3 100t: sunday?-closer-NAfaker-FBI-huni
@@unicorn2921 That EG line up would actually be sick, idk about inspired but the other 4 are all great (assuming DL get back on form. The unfortunate reality of the situation but I believe in him considering how long he played)
no, its because at one point the meta was duo mid. Right when regi was getting popular there was shift to solo mid. Whenever he would get into ranked lobby, he would type in "solo mid" over and over. This was before you could choose your role. You just queued up and typed in your role and whoever called it first got it. Exactly how todays normal games go. He got popular for spamming the words "solomid" in his lobbies. It has nothing to do with him or his ego. Its just the name of his position and he arguably had a hand in shaping the meta by being stubborn and leaning away from the outdated duo mid meta.
I don't think it's a coincidence that 90% of the top players to ever join TSM left the team with a very serious decline in performance by the end of their contract with TSM or by the start of their contract on new team. I have seen it so many times, year to year. Ex: Yellowstar, Biofrost, Hauntzer, Svenskeren, Santorin, Broken Blade, Dyrus etc etc... It has happened consistently so many times.
This explains why TSM changed their jungler and/or support almost every year for many years. Players who were decent for TSM (understandable with a toxic management) are thriving at other teams. My friends and I have agreed on this for many years, that Wukong is rotten to the core and has been the main problem at TSM for many years.
You are doing the right thing. Dont ever doubt yourself. You are standing up and speaking out because you have the power to and a lot of other people dont, and youre using it for exactly the right thing.
One of the reasons I've always been against supporting TSM literally goes back to how Andy treated Dyrus years ago. That kind of behavior literally kills teams. You can have success but once you kill moral it's over.
Double lift is one of the only people who can do this. So he is. Like it or hate it like or hate doublelifr. The fact that he’s going to lose money to show just how shut this guy is because he’s one of the only people that can. Is respectable
Poe signing with tsm came out on November 11th, huni on November 16. DL retired on November 25th, swordart deal finally gets made November 26th. Factually, tsm had a mid, a top and a jungler and THEN DL decided to retire.
Yeah... I think I'll cheer for TL from now on. I am tired of TSM drama holding back not only the players, but the organization in general. It sucks to see Regi continue to do this, looking at this as a long time TSM fan.
I recently rewatched some of the costreams with meteos and sneaky. Even then they talked about it multiple times. All of them criticised those tweets and mentioned how bs they are. So for those that ask why he didn't mention it earlier and if he uses this narrative as an excuse, obviously not. It is something he has said repeatedly and openly. This video/stream seems to be more of a summary.
Some people are just psychopaths, and society is completely oblivious and generally in a state of shock and are hopeless to figuring out the underlying cause of this behavior that it remains a consistent issue through almost every layer of social interactions.
I remember recently seeing the video of Andy being verbally abusive to Dyrus while he was playing solo que for 10 minutes nonstop, despite Dyrus trying multiple times to end the argument, and I thought “Wow, I’m surprised this guy is so successful now.” This drama with DL is seeming to get a lot of publicity, I hope this actually sheds some light on what a horrible person Andy is. I genuinely think he has to have ASPD or something, because he’s a real fucked up, manipulative guy.
Holy shit, DL and Ignar could be an absolutely terrifying bot lane. They both have very aggressive playstyles and they are always looking for the outplay. I think DL/Ignar could be an NA botlane that can compete with the LPL and LCK botlanes.
@@AaronBeSpeedy Ignar almost played with doublelift back then on TSM before they signed yellowstar we knew how that went him and ignar could’ve been on DL/ Core level maybe even better
I wanna see ex-tsm members get together and create a new team. Then beat TSM to prove what can be done without reginald. ROX Tigers made to worlds finals on their own without management.
By this time, it might seem that Regi doesn't accept well when people apologize but imo he actually loves it. When someone apologizes and humble themselves, he suddenly shifts to attack mode and takes advantage of that person opening up and saying sorry. As we saw in the Dyrus video and with Dlift, he goes into gaslighting mode and brags about the fact that he was right the whole time + attack the person + tries to make them feel bad, while not accepting the apology on top of it all. This guy needs Jesus in his life. Its the only way he'll learn how to be humble and forgive/accept forgiveness
