After several controversies and an unsatisfactory run in the VCT 2024 Pacific league’s first spilt, VALORANT star yay is officially taking a temporary leave of absence. His organization BLEED Esports cited “health reasons” as the reason behind yay’s decision and pledged its support for the 25-year-old star.
This is the second time yay has taken a hiatus from VALORANT while at BLEED; after joining the team in September 2023, he stepped back in early December just before the VALORANT ONE Pro Invitational, also due to “unforeseen health issues.”
“Health and wellness are at the forefront of our priorities at BLEED,” the org’s chief operating officer Ian Huston said on X (formerly Twitter) earlier today. “Yay will be missed as he gets back to 100 percent, but he has our full support throughout this return.”
This is a breaking story and is being updated…
