Disguised Partners With BLEED in SEA

Published by

Singapore-based esports organization BLEED Esports and North American esports organization Disguised—the professional esports initiative of Canadian streamer Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang—have announced a partnership to support a professional Valorant roster in the Malaysia/Singapore region (SEA). 

Financial details on this partnership were not disclosed.

The new team, which will feature some former BLEED Valorant players, will represent Disguised (DSG) in the region, and also signals the organization’s official exit from the North American Valorant Challengers scene.

With this new partnership, BLEED and DSG plan to collaborate on watch parties, events, and community-building efforts in the region and abroad, as well as content creation and marketing efforts across social media and streaming platforms. There are also plans to help DSG venture further into the SEA esports scene and in turn help BLEED do the same in North America.

DSG representing a team in the region is also being described as a bit of a homecoming for Wang, who was born in Taiwan but “grew up in Malaysia and frequently visited Singapore as a child.”

DSG CEO Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang said in a release: 

“One of my goals with DSG is to build it into a global brand, and I’ve always wanted to expand to the Asia region. I lived in Malaysia from age 1 to 13 and haven’t visited since, so I’m excited to make a return. A huge thank you to BLEED for supporting us through this whole process and helping us build a roster. Fans can expect DSG to be visiting the SEA region this year.”

BLEED COO Ian Huston said the following on this new partnership: 

“As the Ascension team for VCT Pacific, it’s important to us to remember where we started. To keep supporting Challengers and Malaysia/Singapore through VALORANT, we couldn’t be more excited to welcome Disguised’s expansion into Asia. More details on our joint initiatives will be revealed soon, where our priority is the fans and growing our community.”

DSG announced in late-December that it would be leaving the Valorant Game Changers esports scene in North America due to issues with cheaters during professional matches.
