They picked up a paycheck, and now they're heading out.

The ex-BLEED core is splitting up, just one event after adopting the UNPAID name. kassad announced the decision to split on Saturday. In the same post, he explained that some players had offers, and it seems they're heading in separate ways.

It's not clear who the players with offers are.

But VLDN has stated he's taking a break, while nexa openly said he's still a free agent. If we believe them, that leaves CYHPER and jkeam from the BLEED roster. That isn't concrete proof, but it sure does seem interesting. We make no claims.

That does still leave kassad himself.

In the aforementioned post, he went on to say he's still deciding. Leaving the door open for GM, coach, and analyst roles.

If this was a few months ago, were not sure we'd believe he'd get another chance. But with all the mitigating circumstances, and the relative success at RES, it feels different now.

Hopefully wherever these guys end up, they actually get paid.
