On October 4, Riot Games announced that Bleed was eliminated from the VCT system, and the VCT Pacific tournament. After this announcement, the Bleed organization and the members of the Valorant team all spoke about this issue. First, the Bleed organization wrote: “This morning (October 4), we received a notice of Riot's decision on the termination of the team participation (TPA) and our type from VCT Pacific
“We are very disappointed by this result but will respect Riot's decision and will continue to cooperate with them in this process. In the past year, we have continuously discussed with Riot to solve problems related to TPA. Unfortunately we have not been able to overcome the problem in a satisfactory way and eventually lead to decisions from VCT Pacific.”
