Team Liquid's decision to release Ashkan “TF Blade” Homayouni from their League of Legends roster has caused a massive stir in the Twitter community.
Some of the responses have been negative, stating that his toxic behavior which he showcased during his streaming sessions could potentially be a downfall in his career.
Watch his stream for 20 minutes and you'll see how he'd fit in a pro team.
Extremely selfish playstyle and a temper that flares up in no time if the team doesn't play around him 24/7. No way he could go pro, there's far too much involved than just mechanics alone.

Regardless of the response from the community, TF Blade could serve as an asset to any organization who wishes to expound on their content or acquire a young prodigy that could shape their roster.
In Liquid's farewell message to TF Blade, Steve Arhancet, the co-CEO of Team Liquid narrated the journey that TF Blade had to endure for him to be involved with the organization. It started with TF Blade's goal in achieving his desired rank, which he accomplished during his tenure with the organization. He started his career under Liquid's academy where he grinded his way until he earned a spot as a substitute player for the main roster. He also served as the team's streamer and content creator during his free time.
