BC.Game approaches a decisive point in the season. This week, the team featuring s1mple and electroNic will begin their run at Red Bull GIBAWAY Journey 2025, where the results could determine their qualification for BLAST Bounty 2026 — one of the key tournaments at the start of next year.
From experiment to serious lineup
BC.Game was founded in the spring of 2025, initially appearing as a temporary mix. However, with the arrival of s1mple, electroNic, nexa, CacaNito, and aNdu, the roster evolved into a fully-fledged project under Serbian coach emi.
Over the past few months, the team has stabilized its play, reaching a 62% win rate and performing confidently in online events. Their peak ranking so far is #43, while their current position stands at #60 (VRS) and #77 (Valve).
The path to a BLAST Bounty 2026 invite
According to analyst Udknud, a flawless 8–0 performance at Red Bull GIBAWAY could propel BC.Game to 26th place in the global rankings by December 1 — the exact date when the BLAST Bounty 2026 invite list will be finalized. This tournament will serve as the team’s final opportunity to make a leap back to the top level after a disappointing start to the autumn season.
Context: the return of a legendary duo
The reunion of s1mple and electroNic has become one of the biggest storylines of the CS2 autumn season. Both players were searching for a fresh start after parting ways with NAVI and Virtus.pro. In BC.Game, they’ve been given the chance to rebuild from scratch — and both are steadily regaining form: s1mple currently holds a 1.24 rating, while electroNic, who joined just three weeks ago, maintains a consistent 1.00 rating.
The team now balances the experience of veterans with the flexibility of younger players, creating the foundation for its current upward trajectory.
Current form
Over the past three months, BC.Game has played more than 60 maps. Their strongest maps are Mirage and Dust2 (both with 66.7% win rate). The team has claimed victories over Alliance, NOVAQ, and EYEBALLERS, but has fallen short against BIG and ECSTATIC. At Red Bull GIBAWAY, they will face Alliance, WOPA, boomer demons, and AM — matches that will be crucial for securing a playoff spot.
The last chance before the new season
After a series of roster changes and transfers, BC.Game has managed to establish internal cohesion. Coach emi has built a structure that allows players to showcase individual potential without sacrificing team discipline. If the team maintains consistency at Red Bull GIBAWAY, they won’t just re-enter the top 30, but could become one of the primary contenders for an invite to BLAST Bounty 2026.
Eight victories
Red Bull GIBAWAY Journey 2025 could become a defining chapter in the careers of s1mple and electroNic. With eight victories, BC.Game would earn a chance to return to the main BLAST stage — turning what started as an ambitious experiment into a genuine story of resurgence.
