On their farewell post, Bleed thanked Taiga for his time on the team: “Today we bid farewell to @Taigadota — a brief yet memorable journey. We are grateful for the time shared with Taiga, we extend our thanks and wish him the best in his next chapter!”
In his own post in reply to the announcement, Taiga thanked his former team: “Short but it was fun trying out a new region nonetheless. Gotta shoutout to @HadesCasts (Sean “Hades” Goh) for helping out alot during the process and felt comfortable during my stay, and wish you guys better luck forward.”
