Yay breaks year-long curse to finally win first VCT Pacific series with Bleed Esports

After a whole year of disappointing finishes, one of North America’s former VALORANT superstars has finally found his way back to the winner’s circle with his new team.

Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker has managed to shed the monkey off his back by finally getting his first win with Bleed Esports, following a horrendous start to the year with no series wins. He has also broken a year-long victory drought that started back when he lost to DRX in the second round of the 2023 LOCK//IN.
