Reginald’s position as a player in the active competitive League of Legends was a mid-laner.
Andy disbanded the first team made by him in partnership with his brother in 2011. This was due to major disagreements between the Dinh brothers.
TSM has been a great investment product but they haven’t been invincible or formidable by any stretch of the imagination.
In 2014, a hacking crew called “Null Consolidated” hacked into the TSM servers, stole user data, and vandalized the branding site.
The 29-year-old former player did come out of retirement in 2014 for a brief appearance in the 2014 NA LCS Spring Split as a substitute for Bjergsen.
Net Worth
Andy Dinh is turning his life around from his playing career to his management and investment career. The latest estimates place his net worth at over $2 Million USD. Most of his income has come from his post-retirement investment, management, and business entrepreneurship. At such a young age, Reginald has a long way to go in the Esports industry.
