BC.Game have benched Denis electroNic Sharipov as part of a major roster shakeup. The organization plans to sign Australian player Tyson asap Paterson to strengthen the lineup.

The primary goal behind these moves is to shift the team qualification region to Asia. This strategic adjustment aims to secure a spot at the upcoming PGL Singapore Major.

The decision drew immediate public scrutiny. Analyst Duncan Thorin Shields voiced sharp criticism regarding the unorthodox qualification strategy.

“Terrible that BC.Game qualify for a major by having three players from Asia/Oceania and playing at European LAN tournaments. Much better are ‘exquisite and honest’ traditional methods: qualifiers with tech losses tailored for you or matches against tier-five teams from Oceania,” Thorin wrote.
