"BLEED Esports was terminated due to its failure to comply with critical reporting requirements and other key obligations under the Team Participation Agreement."
In other words, this is another The Guard-esque situation, where the organization doesn't do what Riot tells them to and are losing their spot in tier 1 as a result.
Why are we all acting like BLEED is being relegated? Why are we all saying teams that have been doing poorly are going to be kicked out of franchising? That's not at all what's happening.
