BC.Game to buy tier-one core after s1mple's shock signing, says OverDrive

BC.Game will sign three additional players after picking up Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev, according to the Russian insider and Spirit scout Aleksey "OverDrive" Biryukov.

While OverDrive didn't speculate which players BC.Game are targeting, he said they'll come from a tier-one organization.

The move seems logical as BC.Game will most likely not qualify for the StarLadder Budapest Major with their current lineup, given they're the 70th team in the world when it comes to their position in the Valve Regional Standings (VRS).

If the casino-backed organization can pick up a core that is placed higher in the Valve Regional Standings, they'd have a fair chance of making the next Major.

This is pure speculation, but B8 would be almost perfect for BC.Game's ambitions. All their players are Ukrainians like s1mple, and they're currently in #27th in global VRS.

For now, BC.Game are:

• Luca "pr1metapz" Voigt

• Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković

• Aleksandar "⁠CacaNito⁠" Kjulukoski

• Oleksandr "s1mple⁠" Kostyliev

• Andreas "aNdu" Maasing (Trial)

• Luka "emi" Vuković (Trial Coach)

• Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad (Inactive)
