Dinh allegedly instilled a \u201cculture of fear\u201d at TSM and the various companies he heads, including Blitz and ICON, according to a report by The Washington Post and the 30-year-old is also being investigated by Riot Games for bullying accusations \u2013 via Wired. In a statement Dinh released, along with a link to the investigations finings by the legal firm Gutierrez Marca LLP, he said the instigator found \u201cno evidence of any unlawful behavior on the part of the company, its executives or me personally.\u201d The report echoed Dinh\u2019s statement in its \u201cInvestigation\u201d section. \u201cThe investigation revealed that there was no unlawful conduct by Mr. Dinh. None of the witnesses interviewed had witnessed or were aware of conduct or derogatory comments aimed at and\/or based on any protected characteristic, i.e. gender, race, religion, sexual orientation,\u201d the document said. In a section titled \u201cRemedial Efforts\u201d the firm recommended that the TSM CEO immediately start mandatory executive coaching along with volunteer coaching for other executives. It also states the company is to set up an \u201canonymous reporting hotline\u201d for employees for future complaints against Swift, TSM\u2019s parent company, executives without fear of losing their jobs. TSM investigation findings According to the investigation findings, Dinh has talked to employees in an \u201caggressive and harsh tone\u201d and that he has called workers names like \u201ctrash.\u201d The report specified that six employees, two of which still work at the company, said that the former League of Legends pro player\u2019s conduct was of a \u201cbully\u201d and that he created a \u201cculture of fear.\u201d \u201cThere was one report of an employee crying as a result of Mr. Dinh\u2019s conduct,\u201d the document said. But, the report also said that 25 current employees interviewed did not find that they were working in a toxic workplace. In Dinh\u2019s own statement, he said that his management style is \u201cdirect, open and honest\u201d and that as the company has ballooned to its current size his communication style is \u201cnot effective at times.\u201d He explained the alleged name calling similarly, saying that when he started TSM with just a few employees that they would often give each other nicknames like \u201cbot.\u201d \u201cI will be more mindful of others and being inclusive while still maintaining a fun culture,\u201d he said in his statement. This investigation started in November of 2021 when an employee made complaints about the TSM CEO\u2019s behavior according to the report. While the investigation was spinning up around that time, former TSM League of Legends player Yilang \u2018Doublelift\u2019 Peng publicly accused Dinh of abuse and harassment. Riot Games currently has its own investigation into Dinh by the independent legal firm O\u2019Melveny & Myers LLP. Those finding have yet to be released. This is just the findings of one of TSM\u2019s recent investigations into itself as the organization confirmed recently that a former coach\u2019s inappropriate behavior around his player\u2019s salaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
