HighDistortion also reflected on his time with Team SoloMid after the split and revealed his reasoning for not sticking with his former team.

Enjoyed my time & home with TSM for the past 2 years and hope they continue to do well. Minor differences of opinion on both sides for a new contract agreement.
Future looking great with some awesome things in the works for opportunities for me, the brand and my community!
