BLEED made changes to their CS2 roster

BLEED made replacements after the failure at RMR qualifiers, sending hampus on loan and returning VLDN with nawwk to the main squad. The substitution came as a surprise as the BLEED coach said the player was under contract and not going anywhere.

Potential replacements

BLEED have experimented with the lineup in recent weeks, including temporarily replacing nawwk with Bulgarian sniper h4rn. However, the team has now kept nawwk and decided to let hampus go on loan to continue his career at Johnny Speeds.

VLDN returns to the BLEED lineup

Another major change at BLEED is the return of VLDN, who was moved to the reserves in May to make way for the signing of jkaem. VLDN is now back in the starting lineup and is set to help the team regain form after failing to qualify for the RMR.

Despite statements by BLEED coach and general manager, kassad, that hampus had a “set buyout” and that the player was “not going anywhere”, the situation changed and hampus still went out on loan.

BLEED's new captain

After the departure of hampus, the question remains who will be the new captain of BLEED. One of the possible candidates is former G2 captain nexa, but he has repeatedly stated that he prefers the current roles of lurker and support.

Therefore, his appointment as captain is not guaranteed. Another option could be the experienced jkaem who could take on leadership roles in the team.

Hampus joined by Johnny Speeds

Hampus “hampus” Poser has left BLEED and has gone on loan to Swedish collective Johnny Speeds, where he will once again play alongside draken. Johnny Speeds, who also failed to qualify for RMR Shanghai, are going to integrate hampus into their lineup, which should strengthen the team.

This move removes the leadership responsibility from draken, who has been acting as leader since Lekr0 left for BC.Game. Hampus will make his debut for Johnny Speeds on September 13 in an online match against Rebels, and he will make his LAN tournament appearance at Svenska Cupen 2024 in November.
