TSM’s coach was fired after a few months for “stealing” players’ salaries

Over the years, Cloud9 and Team SoloMid can be said to be the 2 largest Esports brands and organizations in North America. They compete with each other in many areas from competition performance to the business of accompanying products such as clothing, PC accessories… Perhaps when seeing Cloud9 fired coach LS at the beginning of the season, TSM is also not far behind, but announced the termination of the contract with his coach Peter Zhang a few days ago.

TSM recently announced the dismissal of coach Peter Zhang

Specifically, according to the announcement from TSM, this coach was made by the players with serious allegations of professionalism as well as a conflict of interest. According to a source from the Dexerto site, the main reason for this decision is that coach Peter Zhang has been stealing the salaries of TSM players. In addition, this coach also used many different “tricks” to earn a large commission from TSM recruiting a series of young players from the tournament. LPL.

According to the source of the Dexerto site, coach Peter Zhang took advantage of his position as the head coach of TSM to convince the players in China. He then asked those players to sign a contract where Peter Zhang would act as an “agent” and receive extremely high commissions when the players signed with TSM. Not stopping there, the contract that the other players signed with Peter Zhang has a clause that divides part of the salary from TSM to this coach.

Peter Zhang was discovered to have an “agent” type of contract in which he received a high commission, shared salary with the player, in exchange for that player’s position at TSM.

In addition, the Dexerto side also revealed that Peter Zhang “stealed” an amount of up to 80,000 USD (about 1.8 billion VND) of SwordArt. Specifically, during a year of playing at TSM, SwordArt bought a car to facilitate traveling and living in the US. After deciding to return to China and join Weibo Gaming, SwordArt asked Peter Zhang to sell this car for $80,000. Although the car has been sold for a long time like money, it has not been returned to SwordArt because this coach keeps it.

If you remember, a few months ago, Team SoloMid organization or more precisely, boss Reginald received a lot of accusations of swearing and abusing employees. Therefore, it was Riot Games that had to step in to investigate to ensure the interests of professional League of Legends players who have been playing for TSM.

Combined with the fact that TSM has been caught up in a drama involving its coach, the organization is really having a hard time in the first half of this year. As a result, TSM is currently standing at the bottom of the table in the LCS tournament and will almost certainly have to watch MSI 2022 at home.
