The Twitch streamer Ashkan “TF Blade” Homayouni wants to set a world record in League of Legends and become number 1 in all LoL regions. However, Turkey proved to be too tough for him. The Turkish players trolled him, the streamer flamed, and received a ban from Riot Turkey.
The player TF Blade is considered an excellent player and is one of the largest LoL streamers on Twitch with 600,000 followers – alongside the LoL ruffian Tyler1 and the Twitch streamer IWillDominate, who was recently banned as well.
What is the goal? To entertain his fans and face a challenge, TF Blade wants to reach the highest rank on all servers in League of Legends: He is creating a new account in the foreign regions and leveling that account over several days.
The goal is to become the “worldwide number 1”.
According to him, it took him 15 days to climb to the top in EUW, which is the server where we commonly play League of Legends.
Turks troll Twitch streamer mercilessly
Here was the problem: In Turkey, some Turks apparently did not take it lightly that someone was arriving to become the best player. They got wind of the action.
Now they played extra weird when TF Blade was in their games. This is called “taking someone hostage.”
Clips are circulating showing that all 9 LoL players except TF Blade behave completely oddly in a ranked match. They are not fighting each other, but dancing, trolling, or doing something else entirely.
Normally, one would simply leave to preserve their mental health. But TF Blade cannot just leave such a game, because then he would lose points.
Apparently, this is a targeted behavior to annoy TF Blade when some Turks recognize the player in the lobby. This behavior seems to gradually drive him crazy until he finally gets “tilted” and loses control.
Twitch streamer calls Turkish region “dog shit”
What led to the ban? Riot Games Turkey banned the player for “abusive language” for 14 days. He is said to have called the Turkish region “dog shit” and referred to Turkish players as “dogs” and “backward.”
In clips from TF Blade, it is also heard that he referred to the entire region as “autistic” on his own stream and wondered why it hadn’t been taken down yet.
TF Blade believes he was banned unfairly
TF Blade’s reaction: He says that he was just reacting to toxic players who were sabotaging his matches. In his view, the ban from Riot Turkey is too harsh.
According to him, there was no proper warning and he only said “retard” once – per game.
He has challenged the 14-day ban and called the staff at Riot in Turkey racist, according to dotesports.
How did the world record progress? As Dotesports reports, TF Blade was third in Turkey when he was banned. That was the 4th region where he attempted to set the world record; now he has switched to Europe Nordic and Europe East.
However, TF Blade is not sure if he will visit the LoL servers in Turkey again.
