BLEED announce roster overhaul, bench four players

BLEED BLEED Asia-Pacific Rank #21 have announced plans to overhaul their roster for VCT Pacific 2025. Derrick "Deryeon" Yee, Jorell "Retla" Teo, and Kim "Zest" Ki-seok (김기석) have joined Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker on the inactive roster. All four players are now able to explore their options as restricted free agents.

BLEED freshly entered VCT Pacific this year as the champions of Pacific Ascension 2023. During the offseason, Tyler "Juicy" James Aeria and Marcus "nephh" Tan departed from the team due to the former's ineligibility to play in VCT Pacific and the latter's required military service. They were subsequently replaced by yay and Javier "Egoist" Chua coming into Kickoff.

Following an unceremonious 0-2 elimination from the group stage of Kickoff to start their season, BLEED continued to make roster moves. They parted ways with Egoist and benched Ngô "crazyguy" Công Anh, bringing in Zest and Retla and moving Nutchapon "sScary" Matarat to the in-game leader role for Stage 1. These changes did not improve the team's results as they went 1-4 in Stage 1, their only win for the season coming against DetonatioN FocusMe DetonatioN FocusMe Japan Rank #7 Meiy Ibuki Seki Art Jinboong Kim Jin-won (김진원) Akame Yu Gwang-hui (유광희) gyen .

Following Stage 1, yay stepped back from the starting roster due to health reasons and crazyguy returned to the in-game leader position. Despite taking maps off of strong opponents such as Team Secret Team Secret Asia-Pacific Rank #7 invy Adrian Jiggs Reyes JessieVash Jessie Cuyco Wild0reoo Brheyanne Christ Reyes 2ge James Goopio Jremy Jeremy Cabrera and Gen.G Gen.G Korea Rank #1 Foxy9 Jung Jae-sung (정재성) t3xture Kim Na-ra (김나라) Munchkin Byeon Sang-beom (변상범) yoman Chae Young-moon (채영문) Karon Kim Won-tae (김원태) , BLEED failed to secure a win in Stage 2 and did not qualify for playoffs, cutting their year short.

BLEED have promised more updates on their roster in the coming months. The players have not yet announced their respective plans for next season.

BLEED BLEED Asia-Pacific Rank #21 is now:

Ngô "crazyguy" Công Anh
Nutchapon "sScary" Matarat
Nikola "LEGIJA" Ninić (Head coach)

a player can negotiate and agree to a contract with another team, but the player's original team can match/beat that offer and keep them or even just refuse that offer (at least, I think). similar to other sports. an unrestricted free agent can sign with whoever he wants and the org can't do anything.

so basically, a player can negotiate and sign with another team, but then the current team has to approve. i don't think i've seen a team refuse an offer for a player in vct so far? someone feel free to fact check

okay I love crazyguy to death but keeping him over Deryeon Retla or Zest in an unbiased standpoint is nuts

Yeah I only understand Zest and maybe Retla but cmon Deryeon was also part of the Ascension team + singlehandedly made the GenG match close

Deryeon is an amazing flex too, so much more flexible than most players. He can fit in the duelist and/or sentinel role like most normal duelists but can also flex to smokes if needed (itk he's played Astra before).
imo Zest and Retla are both better than crazyguy. ig Zest's IGL value isn't amazing unless he learns more English but they're definitely still good players.
crazyguy is amazing, good clutches, solid aim and understands the game relatively well but he has too little T1 experience and not amazing consistency. If Bleed manages to build a team around him and sScary though I'll eat my words gladly
