Riot removes Bleed Esports from VCT as Boom Esports takes last Pacific spot

As a seasoned Valorant gamer who has followed Bleed Esports since their inception, I must say that this turn of events comes as quite a shock. The Singaporean organization had been a force to be reckoned with, boasting some of the best players and strategies in the region. Losing them from the Valorant Champions Tour feels like a blow to the competitive scene.


In simpler terms, Riot Games, the creators of Valorant, has decided to exclude Bleed Esports from the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) due to not meeting essential reporting requirements. Instead, Boom Esports will take over the 12th position in VCT Pacific that was left vacant.

Esports team Bleed from Singapore has been removed from the premier Valorant tournament, known as VCT Pacific, due to a series of significant administrative problems reported by Riot Games.

After thoughtful deliberation, Riot Games announced that they will be excluding Bleed Esports from the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) and the VCT Pacific.

The partnership between Bleed Esports and its contractual partner was dissolved because they failed to meet essential reporting standards and other crucial responsibilities as outlined in the Team Participation Agreement.

Since the team’s consistent operational issues have been causing problems, Bleed Esports has decided to withdraw from the VCT Pacific tournament to safeguard the well-being and success of its players within the league.

As a dedicated fan, I’d rephrase it like this: “I, as a fan, learned that all players affected by the organization’s decision to disband – an outfit once home to legendary Valorant star yay – were informed well in advance so they could pursue alternative career paths.

Since the 12th spot in the VCT Pacific has been left vacant, Riot Games is replacing it with Boom Esports, who finished as runners-up in Ascension Pacific 2024. This move ensures that the tournament will progress with all 12 teams, as originally planned.

It appears that Boom Esports didn’t receive prior information about the major news, judging by their official account’s apparent confusion following the announcement.

Moments after the announcement, Boom Esports expressed surprise by tweeting, “What a close call! We almost clinched the 12th position against Sin Prisa Gaming at the Pacific Ascension tournament, but unfortunately lost 15-17 on the deciding map.

Currently, our team has received a fortunate turn of events since Bleed Esports appears to have been eliminated. So far, the organization hasn’t issued a statement regarding this development in Riot’s VCT, but we’ll keep you informed if more information comes to light.
