Riot reportedly vetoed partnered VALORANT team merging with another organization for VCT 2023

Global Esports, an India-based organization that secured one of the 10 spots in the Asia VALORANT partnership league, was in talks to join forces with Bleed eSports and compete in VCT 2023 as GE BLEED, according to a report by Dexerto.

Sources told Dexerto that the deal between Global Esports and Bleed was valued at $6 million, but the negotiations were ended once Riot Games stepped in and told its partnered organizations in VALORANT about the league’s restrictions. Riot is set to impose “tight regulations” on strategic partnerships to avoid potential conflicts, according to Dexerto. The publisher will ultimately be the one approving or denying such deals.
