A report from HLTV confirms, BLEED benching Nemanja "nexa" Isaković just 2.5 months after his arrival.

The move follows the Hampus’ benching just a few days ago, while VLDN was reinstated on the roster.

Nexa’s short BLEED stint

Nexa joined BLEED following his departure from G2 Esports. He replaced faveN on the roster.

Despite the talent brought in by the Serbian, the team continued to struggle. During his time on the roster, the roster’s best placement was 5th-8th at a B-Tier event. The roster also failed to secure EU RMR for the upcoming Perfect World Counter-Strike major.

Discussing his time on the roster, nexa told HLTV;

“There were a lot of different visions and approaches to the game prior to me joining, and I think my voice there added to the confusion”

Further clarifying;

“I also want to say that at no point was I leading in BLEED. But I am very open to it if I find a project and people I believe I can build something good with.”

Nexa is now open to offers and will be looking for challenges as he explores his opportunities. BLEED is currently trialing players for the upcoming RES Regional Championship 2024 LAN event in Belgrade.
