A new loud rumor has emerged around BC.Game, directly related to the principles behind the roster’s formation. According to information shared by kassad, citing the club’s owner, the team will allegedly no longer have players from Russia, with the only exception being the transfer of Denis “electroNic” Sharipov.
It is also reported separately that one of the informal criteria for potential newcomers may be “good relations with Kostyliev.” In other words, this is not only about playing quality or role within the roster, but also about internal compatibility with the main star of the project — Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev.
BC.Game are once again at the center of discussion
BC.Game were already one of the most discussed teams of the off-season. After s1mple’s move, the organization effectively became a project followed by the entire scene: every potential signing, every rumor, and every internal change immediately receives increased attention.
That is exactly why information about possible transfer restrictions looks so resonant. If previously the main question was whom BC.Game would sign for the remaining positions, now the discussion has shifted in another direction: what principles this roster is being built on in the first place.
What exactly kassad reported
According to kassad, he found out about this situation when he was interested in the manager vacancy at BC.Game. It was then, according to his version, that he learned the team allegedly did not plan to have Russian players.
The key detail is that this is being presented as s1mple’s personal wish. At the same time, it is important to separate confirmed facts from unconfirmed reports: there has currently been no official statement from the club or the player himself regarding such a policy. Therefore, this information should be treated specifically as a rumor, not as a finally confirmed decision by the organization.
The exception for electroNic
The most interesting part of this rumor is the exception for electroNic. If the information is true, then his transfer was viewed not as a violation of the rule, but as a separate case due to their previous history and personal compatibility with s1mple.
This logically explains why electroNic could have found himself outside the general framework. He played with s1mple for many years at the highest level, won big titles with him, and knows his in-game demands well. For a new project, such a connection may be more important than any general transfer restrictions.
“Good relations with Kostyliev” as a transfer factor
A separate part of the rumor concerns the idea that potential newcomers must have good relations with s1mple. In the context of an ordinary team, this might sound strange, but in the case of BC.Game, this logic looks understandable: the entire project is largely built around Kostyliev.
A team that signs a player like this almost inevitably has to take into account his role not only on the server, but also in the overall roster structure. If BC.Game want to quickly assemble a competitive lineup, they need players who will not create internal conflict and will be able to coexist normally with the team’s main star.
Why this may affect the market
If such an approach really exists, it significantly narrows BC.Game’s transfer field. There may be enough strong players on the market for specific roles, but far from all of them will fit in terms of internal chemistry, language model, experience of playing together, or personal relations.
For the team, this can be both an advantage and a risk. On the one hand, a roster with good internal compatibility has a better chance of starting to work quickly. On the other hand, overly strict informal criteria can limit the choice and force the organization to reject strong candidates.
Why the scene’s reaction is so strong
The name s1mple alone makes any news story loud. But here, political, reputational, and roster-related context is also added. In stories like this, the audience almost always splits into two parts: some see it as the right of a star player to influence the roster, while others see it as a risk to the professional logic of team-building.
That is exactly why this rumor has received so much attention. It is not simply about one potential player or one transfer. It is about how BC.Game may build an entire project around s1mple and how far his influence on roster decisions may go.
The main thing is to wait for official confirmations
For now, this story remains at the rumor level. There is no official position from BC.Game, no direct statement from s1mple, and no public confirmation of a specific list of transfer restrictions. Therefore, it is too early to draw final conclusions.
But even as a rumor, this information is important, because it clearly shows how unusual the current BC.Game project is. This is not just a team looking for a fifth player. This is a roster where sporting logic, personal connections, and s1mple’s status may be closely tied together.

The rumor about BC.Game
The rumor that BC.Game allegedly will no longer have Russian players, with electroNic being the only exception, has already become one of the loudest discussions around the team. If the information is confirmed, it will mean that the club is building the roster not only by roles and statistics, but also according to the principle of internal compatibility with s1mple.
For now, the main conclusion is simple: BC.Game remain one of the most unpredictable projects of the off-season. And the closer the official announcement of the full roster gets, the more attention there will be on who exactly fits into this system around Kostyliev.
