The Doublelift and Regi Drama Explained 

What's your thoughts on all this? I've seen plenty of strong opinions either way!

Sincerely, when your org’s owner backseat games on Bjergsen’s coaching and openly tweets draft gap during series with C9, that’s crazy.

Regi has it all! punchable face, height of a minion and toxic attitude. Dude needed more support than his own players

The only interaction I’ve ever had with Reginald was when he was in a ranked game with me and flamed the fuck out of me as he ran it down on support

We've known Reginald was a toxic, abusive bully for more than 8 years at this point. Ever since his complete rant against Dyrus who spoke out against him in frustration, and got straight up harassed in return for it, everyone have known exactly who Regi is. This is just confirmation at this point. Had Reginald been anything but the owner he would have been sacked YEARS ago. He's absolutely the core reason TSM is being held back, and any prior achievements has been despite of him, not because of him in any way. And I say this as an ex-TSM fan who left solely because of Reginald. Who can support a team who has that kind of ownership? And I'm no doublelift fanboy either. I have and will always think of Doublelift as an arrogant player with a massive ego who will always want to be center of attention. But I believe him when it comes to Reginald's alleged abuse.

This off-season is the best in LoL Esports history: • Carlos showing their org's true color • TSM Drama (Doublelift vs Reginald) • Rekkless moving to EU Masters • TL Super team consist of loyal players. The team's roster consist of Bwipo, Hansama, Bjergsen, and Corejj. • T1 releasing 8 players and 2 staffs this year • TL releasing their future player (Tactical) • FPX releasing their franchise player (Doinb) • Showmaker and Canyon enters free agency • Uzi unretire and rumored to make a super team with IG teaming up with Rookie and TheShy • Chovy and Deft try to leave HLE after their miracle run from Regional qualifiers to Worlds • This year is the most import the LCS got in history. (And the most talented)

TSM need to get their shit together, especially Reginald. If he just stops being a back seat andy, maybe their players will perform better and stay on the team longer. Whether you believe or disagree with Doublelift's allegations if we look at TSM's track record it's evident that most talented/promising players that join the team almost always underperform.

During the OTV interview podcast w/ Scarra. Scarra even said he didn't like andy and he's not TSM, I am kinda leaning towards DL on this one. However, i am also getting the vibe something is not being mentioned that is kinda big.

I saw that vid where Andy was bullying Dyrus while playing League and then gets angry at Dyrus cause he told him to shut up. imo, Andy is shady af and idk why Dyrus is defending him

We might not know the whole facts regarding this issue but I think former players' response to their time on TSM speaks a ton about the environment within the team (Santorin, Svenskeren, Zven, Akaadian, etc.). Be it true or not, no corporation in any industry should be allowed to foster this kind of environment for their employees. For E-sports to be truly considered an established industry, they should be held to the same standards as other big companies in other industries. Just my 2 cents.

I think double lift shouldn’t be the one to start this. His ego is just as bad, but his criticism still holds some credit. Ofc when he used to bully his teammates he was no different, but as he progressed it happened less. Regi on the other hand is outta pocket. He’s a back seat gamer with league knowledge from season 5, he should just shut up and be the ceo rather than trying to throw shade at his coaches. Dyrus clip still makes me cringe so bad. I find it hard to believe that beyond the camera regi is not like that.

Ahh yes, Leena’s boyfriend vs ex-boyfriend

The fact that Reginald has made up/is friends with some of the old players doesnt make the abuse go away

Imagine an industry full of socially awkward nerds given sudden and meteoric success and financial gains being full of immaturity, unprofessionalism, and ego. Truly I am shocked, I tell you.

Leena definitely has a type for guys with BIG egos...

Regi is typical Middle management. Doesn't matter what job you work..we all know this type of person.

Been watching competitive league for a long time. I totally agree with Doublelift on this. Most people dislike Doublelift has a wrong impression of him. While he enjoy trash-talking, he respects the players. He does not trashtalk after the match is done. That's not who he is. He only does it before matches when the match is undecided because it hypes up the matches. Regi on the other hand is a very competitive retired player, while he was good during his time playing, the standard of play has gone far beyond his reach but his huge ego still makes him believes that he would still be one of the best players if he was still playing. This is an important point because whenever his team lost/made a mistake, he firmly believes the team messed up and that HE would have done better. It's because of this, he comes down hard on the players because he had imagined that such a mistake wouldn't be made by him, this creates some sort of resentment towards the players. Like why am I paying you if I could have played this better than you? This makes him a very toxic backseat Andy. This means that if you made a "mistake" and Regi comes to you and puts the blame on you, the best thing to do is do nothing and agree with him. Because he's going to tell you how he would have done better and that it was your fault. You will never win an argument with Regi, because of his ego and his belief that he would have played that better, also because he is your BOSS. Regi is a bully. Make no mistake about that. This is why Doublelift said that the best thing to do in TSM is not get involved with Andy. Nothing good ever comes out from trying to make a constructive criticism about the play with Regi because that's not what Regi wants. Regi wants you to admit that you were wrong and better yet, stroke his ego and tell him that he is right.

I like how its a video of dyrus getting abused hard, followed with a tweet of dyrus saying 'no one has been abused'. It's so suspect that all former tsm players tweeted similar nice things about regi at similar times.

Dyrus was mentally and emotionally abusive to his ex to it makes sense why he would defend regi. Also the amount of people just learning now about regi is funny, dude has always been a bad person.

This actually clears so much up. I wasn't sure what to think after Doublelift just retired even though TSM signed Swordart, but this puts it all into perspective and I feel bad for both Swordart and Doublelift. There had been rumors that he retired because he only wanted to play with a top-tier Support, but him specifically saying he wanted an English-speaking support makes more sense. I was so confused why Doublelift went back to TSM when he had just been thrown out like trash before. My opinion of TSM probably will never go up till Regi retires from having any say in the LoL space.

Covering FGC stuff would be sick too for content it’s a lot of good smash storylines going on too that would be epic to see on the channel :)

Bruh i'm with DL, I went from a TSM fan to an Anti-TSM fan a long time ago. This just makes it so much sweeter. Reginald sucks, i feel bad for anyone who plays on that team. Saw this way back with Dirus being abused by him almost 10 years ago. EDIT: Oh shit they covered it.

No wonder why NA is dying, it's not because of the players, but it's because of toxicity within the orgs.

idk man if Regi comes at me like how he came to Dyrus I wouldve punch him

This is nothing new I still remember those times when Reginald still played and he was so toxic towards the team even though he was the worst. I never saw a change in his attitude tbh

Why is it that every offseason after worlds there is drama on tsm

Easiest way to take this is Bjergsen is coming back and NOT with TSM. This man was/is a co-owner and former coach. That is speaking volumes to me in this.

Following mostly CS:GO, never had a good impression of Reginald considering the Seangares open letter and the Astralis guys' history.

The biggest difference between DoubleLift and Reginald is that DL is self aware of his huge ego and stubbornness. He's acknowledged multiple times that he is hard to work with and has worked on changing himself to be more amicable with teammates. He still is arrogant and trash talks a shitload, but is self aware. Reginald on the other hand is completely oblivious to his flaws and nothing is worse than someone who is blind to their own issues while verbally attacking others for the same things... Teapot calling the kettle black.

Wasn't Regi pretty well known to be toxic back in his days a player? It's like a decade ago but vaguely remember both Regi and Chaox to be problematic on TSM.

They're both egotistic but atleast Doublelift looks like a normal human

Came back to this video after riot announced today they’re investigating Regi. About time

i had enough of doublelifts diva drama every single season

If anyone is in disbelief that Reginald treats his players like ass, look into the danish CSGO roster he fucked over (who eventually became 4 time major winners). Big yikes, not surprising at all.

One of main reason why i dislike TSM. I love their apex, r5 roster, but not this fugly guy who abused his power to constantly being rude to others.

damn if only NA put the same amount of effort on creating infrastructures and helping players improve their gameplay as they do when cooking up drama, they'd make it out of groups

gotta be one of the worst places to be at atm, not DL or Regi but being Leena sitting between the two of them...

How does this channel get faster and faster when it comes to this stuff

reminds me of the good old CLG DL vs TSM Regi banters/trashtalk. remember that trash bin meme banter? lmao Love the video!

I was just watching for the new TSM roster and this suddenly came up.

From the outside looking in both parties have huge egos and have not interest in defending or helping anyone but themselves and their interests.

Here's some popcorn 🍿🍿🍿 To not get hungry while watching this pit fire 🔥

I don’t doubt Doublelift’s statement, but sadly, I think this toxic environment is normal in eSports. The other players don’t realize how bad it was because every team was like that.

Doublelift and Regi are the reasons I didn't enjoy watch NA LCS too much. But I've just disliked Regi more.

finally... i always hated TSM ONLY because of regi.

When you think of it, it's actually funny and believable that Doublelift's girlfriend is the ex-gf to Reginald (Andy). Mah boy DL not only exposed his toxic ass, but stole his girl like Bully Maguire stealing Gwen from Eddie in Spider-man 3.

I think it was fairly disgusting how people defended Regi on this by simply saying 'Oh he is just passionate and wants to win' - as an owner you should NEVER ever intervene like this and treat people like this.

us regular ass working people can't/shouldn't talk shit about their former employers damn dude is really living the dream

Did I miss somewhere that he's no longer a streamer for TSM?

I was waiting was this video.. didn't know where all this started

I've played and watched League of Legends since Xin Zhao was a new character so I have a bit of a background. TSM has always been a favorite for NA. Hard to compare them to a sports team on how loved they are. When you watched TSM in LCS, that twitch chat was spamming TSM for sure. They had world class players. Bjerg is literally one of the best players, just like doublelift said, a perfect player and a perfect person. And regi said, "we got out drafted..." to compare it, thats like having golden era Michael Jordan on your basketball team, and saying your team is bad. Now, I dont know about you guys, but having the best player, still losing, and no one really batting an eye, there has to be something behind the scenes. Or in this case, someone. Only a coach with absolutely horrible coaching skills can not only make your team lose every year and depressed at the same time. You always heard regi was a person not very well liked but it took a very known person in the league community to bring light to the situation. I dont envy doublelift for calling out regi, but I do respect the hell of this man to cast the first stone at this giant gapping asshole that is the owner of TSM.

Imagine how many people get left in tears by their bosses for a lot less money in a lot less time with much less personal baggage attached.

Not sure, but beyond all the accusations of non-commitment and verbal abuse, it all boils down to guys who let their egos run their brains and air their dirty laundry whenever they feel like it. Reginald has been known for his toxic backseat gaming tendencies, and Doublelift is known for burning out his good graces with other people. I won't be surprised if they decided to bury the hatchet after a few years. Unless someone other than Woodbuck airs his shit with Regi, this controversy is over, for now.

The thing is sometimes you just have people that don't get on. In the case of Peter & Andy, I think they both are "Alpha" in their own way and conflict always comes out of that. There is no rule to say that team mates have to be friends but it certainly helps, just like there isn't any rule to say owners, managers or whatever have to like their players. It's important though that the organisation recognize the players are the most important thing, not the staff or the owners - players win championships. Sounds like Andy can't get out of his own way and the fact he slammed Bjergsen during the season, during the finals speaks volumes on that point. The only person talking about the players should be the coach and the owner shouldn't be saying a fucking thing publicly during the middle of games or even at all during the regular season.

Anyone doubting what DL is saying here just doesn't like him, lol. To be fair, I don't either, but there's literal proof of Regi's abusive behavior on-camera, who the hell knows what goes on in the TSM house if he does these things in public in front of a camera.

And this is the difference between NA VS the World. A selfish player with a huge ego vs the Owner who gave him everything.

Like everyone here I want to share my opinion, though I do notice Reginald it's a very bossy and harsh owner, DL it's know in the LoL scene as a trash talker and egocentristic player that it's known to give away games due to his massive "overconfidence" which at times seems like he is trolling by trying to 1vs1 an assassion or 1vs5 the enemy team. DL does have a couple points in his favor but still he did make a hard pass on staying in the team even if SwordArt was not inside the team.Just like a company, if you decide to abandon the company right before a big negotiation since you're not sure if it will succeed then the director or boss has the right to deny your entry back when everything about the negotiation goes right.

So what I'm gathering in my opinion, clearly hypothetical, Is during the phase where Leena and DL started talking was where everything was about to go downhill. DL wanted to be closer to leena so he came back to TSM, Regi probably had a little jealousy but tried to brush it off. DL finds out Bjergsen is going to retire and probably heard Leena will leave the company too so he decides if the swordart deal doesn't go through its not worth his time to play anymore(for the team at least). Regi's wording/saying of the deal not going through doesn't come out right(the way he speaks to you is very upfront and aggressive tone) and Doublelift just says fuck it imma run it down to the exit of tsm since Leena is also leaving and most of his best co-players/workers/friends also left. Mostly probably because he wants leena to cut ties from the organization. Regi probably also during all that time probably wanted to cut ties with DL too because of Leena. In the end theres no winners just bad looks all around.

just a heads up to all the 13 year olds watching this stuff, just because you think you aren't/weren't being abused, doesn't mean it's true. a huge percentage of victims of abuse can't admit to themselves or realize they were abused, this stuff happens all the time sadly. stockholm syndrome is a real thing

This beef is better than any league content I've consumed this year arcane included

Worst possible outcome, Regi or the tsm as an org sues doublelift

Ozzyman is into esports now?

This is just fuel for Dblift to pop off with Olleh

Until Andy gets his hands out of the team, TSM will never do more than win the LCS. It’s just like pro sports teams. It does not matter how good your players and training staff are, if your management sucks you will never be successful.

Go watch the clips of Regi when he was a player. He never changed from his attitude or as a person from back then.

The score still not linking original video they got footage from. Have we not learned our lessons from Thorin? I like your content but need links to watch whole videos to get context of footage bring used.

for those that didnt know, andy got his nickname reginald because he was always raging

I just feel bad about that palette guy lol

finished the entire video and still can't make sense of this shit show lmao

I've supported TSM for years, initially because of the kooky cast of Oddone/Dyrus/etc., but more recently just because Bjergsen was such an easy guy to get behind. As DL mentioned, you see Regi's kinda toxic behavior, but you almost ignore it... because that's how his personality is. When it's laid all out there though, and you think of him making these young dudes cry behind closed doors, subtweeting my man Bjergsen, and just being purely disrespectful (and frankly childish)... I just can't support this team anymore. I'm so happy Bjergsen is out of there and I genuinely hope he finally gets the real success he was chasing all those years. I hope Spica is able to get out soon as well, another promising young player with a great attitude that I would love to see succeed. I guess I'm a TL fan now

so much effort for a west team that cant even get to quarter finals in worlds

I bet the teacher way of doing this is the best both apologise and both get detention

They should honestly just have a fistfight. Squash the beef there and then.

Regi is the result of somebody that hasn´t been punched in the fucking face. That goes for DL aswell.

Don't forget regi was never really a good player and in the end of his player career tried to force himself into his team's roster in multiple different positions and failing horribly before retiring from play.

I've been a fan of tsm from beginning,and this was the only problem for tsm, especially when Hauntzer svenskeren bjerg double frost,that team was so focus on destroying everyone that regenald didn't matter

Bjerg left. That says a lot. One of the best and most influential NA Players doesn't see potential in TSM getting to Worlds. GGz

Hell yeah now that everyone with a genuine opinion and a functioning brain have weighed in and put their sources to the test, thescore can make a video on it. Just wish it was colon this time.

Doesn't DL do this to every team he leaves? Who remembers when DL left CLG and burned every single bridge / entire org to the ground? When he left TL? Aphro even stated he brings people down...

I can’t stand Andy/Regi but Peter has no place to make accusations like that when he acts exactly the same way. Peter has always been a diva. He thinks he’s untouchable and treats people that don’t benefit him in some way in his life like shit. Every since he did what he did to Aphromoo, I have zero respect or sympathy for Peter. Literally none.

The people that got abused are probably still playing right now and can't come out because If they did they could risk their e-sport careers

I don’t like the way you worded that man “Dyrus lost his cool” like what? Bad choice of words man, you’re making it seem like Dyrus was the bad guy here

Regi has never been a good person.

Doublelift and regi has the biggest ego in league esports

Dream Team for 2022: Top - Impact Jungle - Xmithie Mid - Jensen ADC - Doublelift Support - Aphromoo

Blue Card Andy has always have that big ego since his pro play. you can see see his videos still on youtube and It's infuriating to watch,like he knows more that his teammates/players and is so salty when losing.

I don't wanna put all the hate on Reginald here. But that face, that puchable face plus his way of arguing and talking to people man. Just the perfect combination to be hated or at least disliked.

Those clips of Regi are old af. I give young 18 to early 20 year olds a lot of slack on their behavior because 99% of us have acted poorly and made mistakes. If there was more evidence or people speaking out with more recent evidence, it would be more damning.

15:05 this is arguably a misrepresentation, if it takes away or downplays it does ppl share their own honest feelings, if it doesn't change anything about what he's saying then it doesn't, if it does change soemthing it does. The idea that it could contradict it true or not and spinning it that way is wrong, ppl are supposed to come to the right conclusions without other views or added information

Doublelift has since replied to the reddit post days before this video was posted.

Tough time to also be named Andy Dinh.

Regi looks happy to get the attention of flaming his players. Let’s all be honest tho. Regi was never good at league of legends and never had the hands to even be a mid tier mid player outside of season 2 league when lck and lpl were not included

artwork is class

This is an indicator of the future of esports. This will continue to be an issue until something changes, the reality is that the dynamic between players and ownership is just weird, you have players who can flame people publicly and hold all the PR power, then you have owners who can fire people at a moments notice. On top of that a lot of the people involved are introverted gamers who don't really do the social/business thing correctly either, and some where even handed enormous wealth and prestige while they were teenagers. It just kinda all leads to a pretty toxic place and is basically a ticking time bomb for stuff like this. That's why traditional sports like the NBA have rules and stuff, guaranteed contracts, player associations and stuff like that, to reduce the risk of things going wrong, so everyone knows what the rules are and to keep everyone happy, obviously thats significantly harder to do in Esports, but i don't see a world in which stuff like this doesn't happen without proper rules and regulations in place, likely a formal set of rules like a lot of the franchised teams have in like the CDL and stuff like that, but bigger.

Pls make one of the small documentaries of alarm he was so great and taken way to young

1 thing is for sure tho leena has bad taste when it comes to men

How can Doublelift not know if he is dating the TSM president?! Bull SHIT Doublelift!!

Poor dyrus. He doesnt have a healthy view on whats acceptable in relating to people. I feel for the guy as he is going through a hard time. Dyrus... Andy dinh was abusive. Its not ok for him to treat you like that in the old stream clip. I wish you the best man. Hopefully someone can send this to him.

This ego drama is big because everyone know lcl cannot win a single trophy and is only popcorn worthy moment of the season

This is why I don't care about League
