Despite being considered one of the favorites, BLEED failed to advance past the Group Stage of the Skyesports Championship 2024. With 9 points, they were eliminated alongside ENCE and The MongolZ in Group A due to Round Difference criteria, highlighting the impact of narrow victories and significant losses on BLEED’s campaign.
The underperformance of nexa and CYPHER was evident throughout the tournament for BLEED. While nexa was expected to shine after his departure from G2, he has yet to reach his full potential in the new team. However, there is still hope for improvement as he adjusts to his role in the lineup.
