Instead of repairing the optics of the situation, Xu’s Reddit statement made things somehow worse.

On top of that, however, it triggers yet another web of conflicts between jungler Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett, his current employer in TSM, his current team-mates, one of which is now Doublelift, and the association which, in theory, should represent his interests now that such intimate information about the player has been leaked to the public due to admitted mistake by his employer — the NA LCS Players Association (NALCSPA). Both Leena and Peter are also the very best candidates for their positions.

Tsm should be fucking fined to hell for this. As for Doublelift, the information was leaked on his stream and by his girlfriend, so how can he advocate for the rights of a player against a president who is the employer of both, but also in relationship with an NALCSPA vice president? “DL has streamed in the past while I was working and we didn’t have many issues,” Xu writes, alluding that she has potentially conducted TSM business in the presence of her boyfriend, while he was on a rival team (Team Liquid). This involves providing information and legal council when the need calls for it, like when a player thinks he’s getting unfair contract in terms of wage or terms of employment (including potentially career-ending non-compete clauses), or he’s been mistreated by his organization, for example. Leena’s statement does make it harder for Dardoch to find a new team, but it’s impossible to say how much the statement hurt him and whether it matters at all since he is still “owned” by TSM. “There are contracts that won’t be favored in states, some agreements basically force employment status to players and some are simply awful. TSM owner Andy “Reginald” Dinh also came out with a TwitLonger addressing the many recent issues with his company, apologizing to Dardoch for the leaked information, while also stating that, in his eyes, there is no conflict of interest between Xu and Doublelift.

NALCSPA doubled down on being “independent” on their official webspage, stating: “We are an organization run by and for NA LCS and Academy players to inform and enrich their professional experience as esports athletes. Like seriously. Yea that was the problem. It’s our mission to provide vetted, unfiltered and independent resources for pro players to understand their rights, advocate for their own interests and have all the tools necessary to realize their goals and maximize their potential.”.

It hurts Dardoch’s bargaining ability, which could result in a worse contract for him with potentially lower salary than what he might’ve wanted, and also hurts his position with potential teams that might’ve been interesting in signing him and which were not privy to the information Xu has now leaked. is seriously bad for your negotiating position.
