Though that seems to be how the sentence is actually parsed, it seems odd that that would be true. That indicates that every toxic player worked there, and some of the horrible people who worked there were actually not horrible in the context of the game.

I think what it's trying to convey is that when an employee was a toxic gamer, they were also a toxic employee.

Yes, that's what it would seem like, because that makes sense, but what it actually says is the exact opposite of that - if you're a toxic player, you're also a toxic employee, but if you're a toxic employee, you're not necessarily a toxic player. Seems wrong.

How so?

Maybe Ted for fired for sexual harassment of a co-worker. Maybe he worked for HR and rarely, if ever, played LoL in the first place. He'd be fired as a toxic employee without anything in his LoL chat log to hint at it.

What they're saying is that if you have a toxic LoL chat log, you're likely to be a Ted. But the reverse isn't true: you can have a pristine chat log, and still be a Ted.
