League of Legends pro play can be quite similar to solo queue sometimes. Given there is more on the line, the players have to be really careful with their emotions. One of the pro players who didn't always get that right was FORG1VEN. He is known as the most toxic pro player in the game, and this year he is trying to make a comeback.
At the start of his career, Konstantinos-Napoleon "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou was one of the best, if not the best ADC player in Europe. He has played in multiple teams like Origins, Schalke 04, H2K Gaming and Gambit Gaming before leaving the pro scene in 2020 after a number of controversial statements.
However, it looks like he's now coming back as a pro player.

FORG1VEN is known for his unsportsmanlike behavior in solo queue and even in professional team environments. In 2020, he has had some drama where he and his team Schalke 04 agreed that he would step down from the team. He has then posted a tweet where he blamed the organization for not wanting to win.

Needless to say, that this was the end of his career. His time in Schalke was supposed to be his great comeback since he has been declared one of the best ADC in EU and maybe even the world at that time. The only thing holding him back was himself.
He has played in lots of different teams, and being toxic has lead to him burning many bridges. He had a great chance of having an amazing legacy but turned himself into a meme with the exit out of Schalke 04.
In his comeback split, the team went 0-7. Not that he is the only one to be blamed for this, but his performance wasn't that of one of the greatest ADC's Europe has ever seen. Before that, he had great success with H2K in 2016 which he had to postpone for the obligatory Greek military service.
