One of the biggest names in VALORANT, yay, is said to be on the verge of signing with Bleed Esports and competing in VCT Pacific. Despite initial speculations of joining G2, the North American superstar seems to be heading to the other side of the world for his next venture.
According to VALORANT reporter Flynn, yay is “close to signing” with Bleed Esports, a team that secured their spot in VCT through Ascension. Fans have been buzzing about this potential move, as yay has been seen duoing with Bleed starter Deryeon under the name “zommy.” Observant viewers noticed similarities in crosshair and crosshair placement, leading them to believe that yay is indeed preparing to join Bleed.
Further fueling the speculation, yay’s account on tracker.gg has gone inactive, suggesting that he may be playing on a new account in a different region. While it may have seemed unlikely at the start of the 2023 season, yay’s willingness to do whatever it takes to return to tier one, including switching roles or moving regions, makes this move to VCT Pacific more plausible.
After a disappointing end to his 2023 campaign with Disguised Toast, yay expressed his depression and even pledged to donate his last paycheck to charity, feeling that he didn’t deserve it. Once considered the most sought-after free agent prior to the 2023 season, yay now has the opportunity to make a fresh impact in the VCT.
| Date | Opponent | Result | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 2023 | Cloud9 | Loss | 2-0 |
| August 2023 | Disguised Toast | Loss | 3-0 |
yay’s move to VCT Pacific is a surprising development, but it presents him with a second chance to prove himself and leave a lasting impact on the competitive scene. Fans eagerly await his official announcement and look forward to seeing him in action with Bleed Esports.
