BC Game have lost four open qualifiers in a row. At first glance, this looks like the end of their major qualification hopes. However, the numbers tell a different story.
According to analyst Udknud, only one of those four defeats actually counted as a ranked match. This means BC Game still holds a strong record in the VRS system. Therefore, their path to a major is still open, even if it will not be easy.
Why BC Game’s Recent Losses Matter Less Than They Seem
BC Game has faced a tough stretch of results lately. On the surface, four qualifier losses in a row would normally signal a team in decline. As a result, many fans may assume their major chances are already gone.
But the VRS system does not count every match equally. Open qualifiers often include unranked games, which do not affect a team’s official standing. This detail is key to understanding BC Game’s real situation.
BC Game’s VRS Record Since the Roster Change
Since mzinho and Magisk joined the roster, BC Game has built a 9-2 win-loss record in ranked VRS matches. Out of their four recent qualifier losses, only the defeat against FOKUS counted as a ranked game. The other three losses did not affect their VRS standing.
In addition, BC Game has not yet reached the maximum LAN win points available to them. This means there are still easy points on the table for the team to collect.
If BC Game can string together wins and defeat strong opponents on LAN, they could still reach major qualification territory. This includes the EU region specifically.
A Difficult but Realistic Path Forward
Reaching a major spot will still be a hard task for BC Game. The loss to FOKUS counts as one costly defeat. However, the team can only afford a few more setbacks like this before November 2nd, which is the deadline to qualify as an EU team.
To stay on track, BC Game will likely need to keep a similar win rate to the one they’ve shown since their roster rebuild. In practical terms, this means winning 8 out of their next 10 ranked matches.
Why This Matters Going Forward
BC Game’s major qualification story is far from finished. While their recent qualifier losses looked alarming, their actual ranked record tells a more positive story. The team still has room to grow their points total and a clear, though difficult, path to the EU major spot. The coming weeks, and how BC Game performs in ranked matches, will determine whether they can turn this opportunity into a real qualification.
