OverDrive claims BC.Game is targeting HEROIC's core after failing to buy Astralis' roster

According to Russian insider and Spirit's unofficial talent scout Alexey "⁠OverDrive⁠" Birukov, BC.Game are looking to acquire HEROIC's core as part of their efforts to breach the tier-one Counter-Strike 2 scene. According to OverDrive, BC.Game's interest in HEROIC comes after the organization were rebuked in their efforts to buy Astralis' lineup.

OverDrive's claim follows BC.Game parting ways with or bench Aleksandar "⁠CacaNito⁠" Kjulukoski, Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković, and Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković in recent days.

Were BC.Game to acquire HEROIC's core they would be immediately propelled into tier-one as the team are currently ranked 17th on the Valve Regional Standings (VRS). HEROIC have previously been receptive to potential buyers for their players and rosters, having sold their previous core to Falcons, along with numerous players to the likes of Liquid, NIP, G2, and Spirit this year.

As always, OverDrive's reports should be taken with a grain of salt as the Russian "fixer" is heavily associated with the Spirit organization and his track record on roster moves outside of the CIS region is less than perfect. However, as it is well established BC.Game are willing to shell out big bucks for Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev and is looking to "jump the queue" after their previous roster peaked at 82nd in the VRS, acquiring HEROIC's lineup could help the org accomplish their stated goal of entering the tier-one conversation.
