Social media erupted after a series of posts from BC Game Esports, an organization that hinted their negotiations with a potential CS2 superstar fell through due to extraordinary contract demands. What first seemed like a joke quickly turned into one of the most talked-about stories in Counter-Strike this week.
“Just sign him” — until you see the list of demands
Facts – Everyone loves the idea of “just sign him,” until you see the list of demands on the table 😅

It all began with a tongue-in-cheek tweet from the official BC Game Esports account:
Facts: Everyone loves the idea of ‘just sign him,’ until you see the list of demands on the table .
At first glance, it looked like a bit of social-media trolling meant to stir engagement. But moments later, the team followed up with a shocking comment that transformed the joke into a full-blown rumor:
One player asked for a helicopter ride with his wife once a month + dinner.

The internet instantly went wild trying to guess who the mysterious player might be — someone so confident in his star power that he’s requesting romantic helicopter rides instead of standard bonuses.
s1mple or rain? Fans split into two camps
Shortly after the tweet, analyst Jet Thevenot added fuel to the fire with a post suggesting that the comment might refer to players of the highest caliber:
Rain/s1mple are the kind of players worth overpaying for. They only become available once every 10 years, and signing them instantly makes you the most interesting team in CS.
That single statement triggered a wave of speculation. Many fans believe the tweet refers to Oleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyliev, who recently skipped an official BC.Game match while playing Dota 2 — a coincidence that only deepened suspicions.
Is s1mple’s new demand to play Dota 2 whenever he wants? one Telegram channel joked.
Others, however, think it’s about Håvard ‘rain’ Nygaard, the Norwegian veteran who recently parted ways with FaZe Clan and is rumored to be exploring new offers.
Rain is in negotiations I see. Closer to BC Game Rain, wrote user @THEGODOFTHUNDER1, tagging FaZe’s official account.

Chaos on Twitter/X: from serious analysis to full-blown memes
Within an hour of the initial post, Twitter (now X) turned into a chaotic community debate. Some users treated the topic seriously, analyzing BC.Game’s roster situation and market strategy; others flooded replies with pure comedy.

Highlights from the reactions:
- @gust45602: “Sign flamez or rain.”
- @Atompro34: “Sign electronic, fl4m3us and rain.”
- @Sushante2447: “From a business perspective, signing rain is worth it. Huge buzz, new casino users, jersey sales — the ‘rain’ brand pays for itself.”
- @TOY: “Bro, just put the total offer in a slot machine — if it hits, meet his demands.”
- @RenierPPorter: “My demands are a 2013 Toyota Corolla.”
- @Arxgedon: “Just sign them already.”
Even amid the memes, fans agreed on one point: landing any of these names — s1mple, rain, electronic, or fl4m3us — would instantly elevate BC.Game into the global elite.
Between trolling and PR brilliance
Though BC Game Esports never mentioned any names directly, many analysts suspect the organization intentionally launched a viral “inside joke” campaign to generate buzz around its brand.
Known for its flashy marketing and experimental roster moves, BC.Game has struggled for results in recent months. The so-called “helicopter demand” may have been the perfect PR move: within hours, everyone from Reddit users to Telegram channels was talking about the team.
Community reaction: laughter, theories, and wild advice
The discussion hasn’t cooled down even after 24 hours. The mix of humor and curiosity has turned this into one of CS2’s most entertaining off-season stories.

Among the most-liked community comments:
- “Sign rain — the hype will pay for itself.”
- “s1mple just wants the helicopter to fly to The International.”
- “This is the best CS2 storyline of the month.”
- “Whoever it is, give him the damn helicopter and get it done!”
Whoever stands behind the now-legendary “helicopter clause,” BC Game Esports has already achieved what every marketing manager dreams of — dominating the CS2 conversation during a quiet period between tournaments.
Whether rain is truly in talks or s1mple is just trolling remains unknown. But one thing’s certain: no other organization has generated this much laughter, speculation, and viral attention from a single tweet.
