Bleed Esports withdraw from VCT Pacific Kickoff 2025, Boom Esports promoted
Singaporean Esports organization Bleed Esports has been officially removed from the VALORANT Champions Tour and VCT Pacific Kickoff 2025.
The official announcement of this situation came directly from Riot Games, with the company stating that the removal was due to failing to comply with "critical reporting requirements" and other obligations under the Team Participation Agreement. With one vacant spot in the VCT Pacific, the publisher promoted Ascension Pacific runner-up Boom Esports to the tier-one league.
Aside from failing to comply with Riot Games requirements, the update also states there were persistent operational failures from the esports organization, forcing BLEED Esports to be removed from the league. As a result of the teams removal, several BLEED Esports players, including Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker, are looking for other opportunities.
Bleed Esports made an official public statement to address the outcome, stating that the team had issues related to the deliverables in the TPA. The organization also noted that it will take some time to process and evaluate the team’s position in the FPS game.
In addition to Boom Esports, the tournament will also feature Paper Rex, Gen.G, T1 and other notable Asian representatives.
