Zeek’s benching from ACEND had nothing to do with his mental breakdown earlier this year, according to him

European organization ACEND removed one of its longtime VALORANT players, Aleksander “zeek” Zygmunt, from the active lineup yesterday to “improve” their chances in the Last Chance Qualifier. The removal led to some speculation in the VALORANT community and zeek himself addressed the rumors today in a TwitLonger.

Part of the VALORANT community was commenting on social media and Reddit threads that the removal was related to a mental breakdown zeek experienced earlier in 2022.
