About

PARTH NAIDU

I have two dogs. I do my best work late at night or early morning when everything is quiet. I’m on a quest to find the best pizza and cola in the world. I enjoy fantasy novels, but have given up on Patrick Rothfuss ever completing Doors of Stone. A vacation where every hour is planned out is not a vacation. My heart is in the work.

This my personal website where I write about relevant topics in e-sports and education.

TSM

General Manager, League of Legends Operations

For the past seven years, I have been working at TSM. In 2015, I moved into a house in Los Angeles with seven other players and staff. Since then, I have worked as an Assistant coach, Head coach and General Manager of the League of Legends division where I helped develop a multi-million dollar high performance e-sports program from the ground up. The division now boasts academy and amateur programs, comprehensive coaching staff with specialized roles, and cutting edge health and fitness initiatives. I've had the privilege of working with major sponsors such as Logitech, Geico, Gillette, and Redbull, as well as Riot Games and other franchise teams on the development of the League. During my tenure, TSM has won five LCS championships and one IEM World Championship.

Carnegie Mellon University

Master of Science, Materials Science and Engineering

In a past life, I was classically trained as an engineer and worked at Boeing on R&D projects for commercial planes, until I chose to take a 329-day hiatus from work to travel and pursue my interests, notably e-sports and education. This website was originally built to document my thoughts during that time.
