L Diablo: Yay’s year plus VALORANT losing streak continues as Bleed exit Pacific Kickoff

Going into the fist year of VALORANT partnership, Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker was one of the hottest free agent commodities after a prolific year on OpTic. But over the last 365 days, yay has not won a single professional match.

Yay has lost his last 10 straight matches: the second round loss to DRX at LOCK//IN 2023 while he was on Cloud9, the disastrous seven-match NA Challengers run with Disguised, and now both opening matches at the VCT Pacific Kickoff with his latest team, Bleed. His last win was C9’s victory over eventual Champions grand finalist Paper Rex in the first round of LOCK//IN.
