Dinh began his career in professional gaming by creating the high-level All or Nothing alongside his brother, Dan Dinh, during the [[League of Legends]] closed beta in September 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=17830 |title=Clan All or Nothing - League of Legends Community |publisher=Na.leagueoflegends.com |date=2009-10-15 |accessdate=2012-11-26}}</ref> 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 Dinh went on to join Team SoloMid, eventually becoming it's captain. After settling on a roster composed of himself, Brian "TheOddOne" Wyllie, Alex "Xpecial" Chu, Marcus "Dyrus" Hill, 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://season-one-championship.na.leagueoflegends.com |title=Season One Championship |publisher=Season-one-championship.na.leagueoflegends.com |date= |accessdate=2012-11-26}}</ref> After this, Team Solomid made several 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, Dinh decided to relocate himself and his team in a gaming house based in [[New York]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.absolutelegends.net/news/225/Team-SoloMid-going-to-MLG-and-getting-a-Gaming-House |title=News - Team SoloMid Going To MLG And Getting A Gaming House |publisher=Absolute Legends |date= |accessdate=2012-11-26}}</ref> Dinh & 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.<ref>[http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/congratulations-to-team-solo-mid-mlg-providence-league-of-legends-champs]{{dead link|date=November 2012}}</ref> |

Going into [[League of Legends]]' Season 2, Dinh & Team SoloMid suffered losses while facing the Russian-based team [[Moscow 5]] at [[Intel Extreme Masters]]' Hanover and Kiev events. Following these defeats, notable founding member Christian "The Rain Man" Kahmann resigned from the team citing differences in interests and Team Solomid subsequently picked up Marcus "Dyrus" Hill to fill the empty spot.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/52875-Rain_Man_leaves_TSM_gaming_house |title=League of Legends: Rain Man leaves TSM gaming house |publisher=SK Gaming |date=2012-04-11 |accessdate=2012-11-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.solomid.net/forums/index.php?/topic/21787-team-solomid-announces-roster-change/ |title=Team SoloMid Announces Roster Change - SoloMid.NET Forums |publisher=Solomid.net |date=2012-03-13 |accessdate=2012-11-26}}</ref> After these changes, Dinh and Team SoloMid went on to win several [[North American]] events during spring and summer. Following a 1st Place victory at the [[North American]] regionals, Dinh & Team Solomid became one of the teams playing at [[Riot Games]]'s Season 2 World Championships in Los Angeles, where they were defeated 2-0 by Azubu Frost and placed 5th-8th with a prize of $75,000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tournaments.leagueoflegends.com/s2-world-championship#tournament-bracket |title=Season Two World Championship | LoL Tournaments |publisher=Tournaments.leagueoflegends.com |date= |accessdate=2012-11-26}}</ref> |
