Banned, Trolled, Held Hostage: One Streamer's War With Solo Queue

by devaccess



TF Blade is one of the biggest League streamers on Twitch. He averages over 10k viewers, annihilating his competition with champions like Irelia and Jax.

Before he was the king of solo queue, TF Blade was a normal high school student, trying to convince his parents to let him pursue a career in esports. But after his pro plans fell through, he spent his remaining time trying to hit rank one in every region.

That has always been the thing about TFBlade for me.
I can respect his ambition. What he has accomplished is simply amazing.
But sometimes, he acts towards the other players he plays with ingame with so little respect that I feel he needed that reality check in Korea.

“Definitely not acceptable” is bullshit, if blade had made his own account or just bought one illegally in Korea, and he said the same stuff, no one would care, it’s just a bad excuse for double standards and a over sensitive outsider culture that has rooted from uzi’s inning last year

When it comes to LoL's World, "Turkish Server" Means Garbage.
It's not a offense to the country, but the region is toxic and unskilled.

riot korea is racist, simply put, it might be the second most toxic server in the world (next to euw) but the korean players wont get banned for the same behaviour.

People don't understand the culture difference in Korea compared to other places. Flaming and toxicity is completely unacceptable and you can get fined for it, which is why you need a South Korean ID to play the game. Here in EUW or NA it's accepted but doing it in Korea will lead to a lot of players hating you, which is what happened to TF Blade. Players such as Ruler would dodge deliberately to avoid him as he was that disliked. I personally don't think flaming is a big deal – I don't flame myself – because the mute button exists and I don't have a fragile ego but it's an offence in Riot's rules and TF Blade just wouldn't stop flaming wherever he went and so he was punished fairly.

The thing is that TF Blade has been racist and toxic in the past. He just doesn't care and you can't do that kind of thing on a Riot Account at all.

When I moved to Korea I thought it would be less toxic but in low elo it’s so much more toxic than past regions. Plus they are super xenophobic and if you type any English they go off. More instances of afks and international feeding here as well. They don’t seem to clean up low elo with the same rules they have held tf blade to so I think unjust even though he is a streamer and that’s why were strict but should have been temporary ban.

So 100% Barry Sanders is my favorite player in any sport because he was quiet and great. I also realize that competitive games get you excited. That said, this is a kid who is better than you. Eat a giant C word and let him play. The best players are the best players and seriously F these companies that want you to be nice. Michael Jordan always said the right thing right? Stop being pussies. Ok 👌

I agree that he's good and devoted, however he is also extremely toxic and self-centered in game. It's fine if he wants to lash out on his stream, but he's ruining other people's enjoyment of the game.

The funny thing is that server is so toxic. If blade just didn't use english swear words he's fine. Fuck is a flagged word in KR…

We're really out here defending toxic pros. Too many pros are allowed to talk shit just because they are part of the scene.
