Previously on BLEED BLEED Inactive , nephh was released from the roster in order to fulfill his national military service. Bilibili failed to reach playoffs for both Kickoff and Stage 1 of VCT China, finishing the latter with a 2-4 match record.
Best known for his time on BLEED, nephh was an immediate contribution to the team's improvement. Prior to his arrival, BLEED were merely a regional contender, with their best result being a top-three finish in the 2022 APAC LCQ. Following their early 2023 rebuild, which included nephh's acquisition, the team breezed past the Malaysia/Singapore Challengers and Ascension Pacific, with only two losses in the year.
After earning their place in VCT Pacific 2024, BLEED announced nephh's and Juicy departures. Juicy was ineligible to compete due to his age, and nephh was stepping back to fulfill his NS duties. The service typically last for two years, but it is possible to delay or receive an exemption, as was the case for Jinggg.
Bilibili have not confirmed if nephh will be a part of the starting roster, but they have experimented with substitutions in the past. As per the organization's Weibo, nephh is fluent in Mandarin, so communication should not be a concern.
