A bizarre situation has unfolded between Bleed and aspas. The two parties had agreed on a record-breaking deal, where Bleed would pay the full buyout of aspas, offering him the highest salary in Valorant history.
However, after details of this negotiation were leaked, former players filed a complaint against Bleed with Riot Games, citing payment delays from the 2024 Kickoff event to Masters 2.
Only one player received payments during this period. This isn’t Bleed’s first issue with contract fulfillment, putting aspas’s future in jeopardy.
Aspas and his agency are now scrambling to secure a new deal. With his buyout remaining steep, teams in EMEA and APAC are being approached, but only a few organizations can afford the operation.
