Former TSM Player Doublelift Reveals Cease and Desist Letter
Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng, a former League of Legends player for TSM, has shared a cease and desist letter sent to him by Electronic Sports and Gaming Law, the law firm representing TSM. The letter was posted on Doublelift’s personal Twitter account, sparking controversy in the community.
Doublelift Reacts to Washington Post Article on TSM Owner
In a recent Twitch livestream, Doublelift discussed an article by Washington Post journalist Mikhail Klimentov that accused TSM owner Andy “Reginald” Dinh of fostering a “culture of fear” within the organization. During the livestream, Doublelift revealed that he still had a letter that TSM sent him last year. Now, he has taken to Twitter to expose its contents.
Doublelift Breaks Confidentiality, Exposes TSM’s Claims
The letter accuses Doublelift of multiple breaches of his employment agreements during his Twitch livestreams in November of the previous year. It was sent shortly after Doublelift publicly criticized Reginald on his personal Twitch livestream. Despite the letter clearly stating that its contents are confidential, Doublelift disregarded the disclaimer and shared it with his sizable Twitter following.
Doublelift’s Alleged Violations Raise Concerns
The letter suggests that Doublelift violated the terms of his termination agreement when he retired from TSM’s active League roster in 2020 and broke further agreements when he rejoined TSM as a content creator in 2021. The alleged violations include publicly disclosing confidential information about the organization and making disparaging remarks about TSM.
Reginald has not directly responded to Doublelift but has promised to conduct an “Ask me Anything” on Reddit once Riot Games completes its investigation into TSM’s practices.
