Andy Dinh, known by his gamer tag "Reginald" is a Vietnamese American entrepreneur and former player of the multiplayer online battle arena, League of Legends. He is currently the owner and coach (only if needed) of the North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS) team Team SoloMid (TSM). Dinh remains one of nineteen players who have qualified for 3 World Championships, along with xPeke, SOAZ, Nyph, CyanideFI, YellOwStaR, TheOddOne, Xpecial, Candy Panda, Watch, Bjergsen, PawN, Uzi, Deft, Maple, NL, Swordart, Westdoor, Faker and Bengi.
Andy "Reginald" Dinh began playing League of Legends in the Closed Beta in 2008. Playing alongside his brother, Dan "Man Dinh" Dinh, he quickly became one of the most recognizable players in the game's sprouting playerbase, along with other soon-to-be professional gamers such as William "scarra" Li, George "HotshotGG" Georgallidis, and Joshua "Jatt" Leesman. Andy and his brother then formed one of the earliest competitive League of Legends teams, team All or Nothing, during the League of Legends closed beta in September 2009. Around this time, he also founded the SoloMid website, one of the first websites dedicated to League of Legends, which also doubled as a website for his clan/team. In early 2011, after disagreements between himself and Dan Dinh, All or Nothing disbanded and Andy "ReginaId" Dinh went on to join the team that he was sponsoring, Team SoloMid, eventually becoming its captain. After settling on a roster composed of himself, Brian "TheOddOne" Wyllie, Alex "Xpecial" Chu, Christian "The Rain Man" Kahmann, and Shan "Chaox" Huang, the team's first venture onto the professional eSports scene was during League of Legends Season One Championships during the summer of 2011, where they took 3rd place and $10,000. After this, Team Solomid made many appearances at various tournaments including Intel Extreme Masters Season VI - Global Challenge Cologne and Major League Gaming Pro Circuit - Raleigh, where they placed 2nd and 3rd respectively. After these tournaments, Andy "ReginaId" Dinh decided to relocate himself and his team in a gaming house based in Lindenhurst, New York. Dinh and Team Solomid's first breakthrough would occur at Major League Gaming's Providence tournament, where they came out victorious over the competition and brought home 1st Place.
