My guy... the org was very aware of what they were doing and likely in constant communication with Riot.
In regards to their players... they did end up last place this season. They were dreadful. Multiple players would have been released anyway.
Now of course my condolonces to those who would have had a bleed job and deserved it.
On the other hand Boom very much deserves it so theres a good thing in this too. The people are getting massive raises and more stability.
Higher management knew from the looks of it
There is no way riot just wake up one morning and think, "Yes, we want to kick Bleed"
They probably told the higher management they are reevaluating or taking a decision days prior to the announcement, management just didn't think Riot would do that or just couldn't give enough fucks to let the players and coaches know
