Biography[edit]

Reginald originally came from San Jose, California, USA. On September 2009, Reginald created the SoloMid.Net website. At this time he was part of team All or Nothing.

After the team disbanded due to conflict between Reginald and Dan Dinh on what the team needed, as well as differences in play-style between the brothers, he moved onto Team SoloMid in 2011 and became the mid laner for the team.^[4] He has competed at LAN events such as MLG, IEM, and IPL. Currently his main champions are
Ahri,
Cassiopeia,
Morgana,
Kennen,
Karthus,
Gragas,
Galio,
Twisted Fate,
Ryze and in rare cases
Ziggs. After the Season 2 World Championship, Reginald announced his retirement from professional League of Legends and said he would become a manager for Team SoloMid, but later announced that he would instead remain as the team's Mid Laner; he has since stepped down from Mid Lane and has become the team's Coach/Analyst.

On August 14, 2014, it was announced that Reginald violated the LCS rules by refusing to apply the instructions or decisions of LCS officials by announcing Lustboy as new player of TSM without Riot's final approval. He was fined $ 2,000.^[5]

Playstyle[edit]

Reginald is known for having a very aggressive playstyle in the mid lane, roaming a lot and attempting for kills in lane. He later on switched to a more balanced playstyle, knowing when to go aggressive and when not to.

Trivia[edit]

Founder, owner, and formerly the captain and shot caller of Team SoloMid.
Known for his strategic abilities.
Known for his BAY LIFE Empire.
Known for his aggressive play-style, especially in Season 1.

Known for his
Karthus,
Cassiopeia, and
Gragas in Season 2.
Nicknamed 'Rageinald' for his temper.
Brother of Dan Dinh and Jonas Dinh.^[6]
Some of his teammates have called him the "sponge" of TSM as he absorbs all of the hate, for example when Chaox was removed from the team he claimed it was his decision and his alone.
Got a penta kill in the Sound Blaster Nations Championship with
Gragas which is considered the first penta kill in competitive League of Legends.
The origin of the name Reginald came from Andy trying to think of the most annoying, hated name he could, hence Reginald.^[7]
One of five players to have qualified for the first three World Championships, along with Dyrus, TheOddOne, Xpecial, and YellOwStaR.
