Being accused of racist behaviour with Koreans just because rubbing their eyes, TFBlade was banned forever by Riot Korea – TFBlade Ban

TFBlade Ban – The journey to climb rank of TFBlade at the Korean server is really too arduous.

TFBlade is currently performing a 14-day series of challenges to climb the top 1 Challenger at all LoL servers around the world, however, when stopping at the Korean server, the journey of this streamer did not go smoothly. .

The first is the boycott of the Korean gaming community, when every match has TFBlade in the team, the Korean members will automatically AFK, accept penalties to prevent this guy from winning the match. It’s all because TFBlade blatantly criticized professional League of Legends players, typically Nuguri.

But it didn’t stop there, last night, while streaming on Twitch, TFBlade received notice that his account at the Korean server was permanently banned. More importantly, this is the account provided by Riot Games, and during the try-hard process, TFBlade also showed no expression beyond the standard range of gamers.

Understanding the cause of this penalty, TFBlade fell back when he discovered a post on the Korean social media forum, captured a picture of the guy rubbing their eyes in a previous stream there. This image has been taken by the Korean gaming community and has become evidence of accusations of racial discrimination against Asians (referring to the eyes of Korean people).

Immediately, Riot Games Korea immediately imposed punishment on this guy.

Although during the stream on Twitch, this  streamer explained that it was simply an act of rubbing his eyes. He even pressured that Korean fans are too sensitive, and these denunciations were simply because they hated him: “How do you think I can rub my eyes when are wearing big glasses and that earphone? “

Even then, TFBlade also complained to Riot Korea to regain account, however, the answer was “No”, and of course, the result was that his Korean server League of Legends account was still banned.

To protest the move of Korean Riot, TFBlade also threatened to … switch to DOTA 2 stream immediately. However, perhaps this threat will be difficult to realize when his stream contract with Team Liquid also has specific constraints.

The case of TFBlade has caused the League of Legends community a lot of controversial opinions. Many advocates argue that Korean fans are too sensitive in this case. However, the rest of the community thinks that TFBlade is also up to something, he had a history of being banned for 30 days on Twitch because of racism, so if TFBlade’s actions carry a negative connotation it is not strange.
