Oleksandr \u201cs1mple\u201d Kostyliev has shared detailed thoughts on BC.Game\u2019s current training process, offering a clear look into how the new roster is taking shape. The Ukrainian star spoke about intense daily practice, early competitive decisions, and the realistic path toward official matches through qualifiers. His message made one thing clear: motivation and belief are fully back.<\/p>\n

Straight into training mode<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BC.Game did not ease into the project. The team completed three full days of practice right away, including three scrims on the opening day. After testing the pool, the roster immediately removed one map \u2014 a small but telling decision that showed how fast the team is defining its direction.<\/p>\n

Such quick calls underline that BC.Game are not treating this lineup as an experiment. The focus is on structure and clarity from the start, even if that means making difficult choices early. s1mple said the team environment already feels right. He pointed to strong internal chemistry while acknowledging that improvement is still needed.<\/p>\n

The team really clicks with me. Of course, there\u2019s still a lot to work on \u2014 that\u2019s normal.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n

Qualifiers instead of a direct LAN debut<\/h3>\n

s1mple also addressed expectations around his first official matches. He initially believed BC.Game would debut at IEM Krakow, ESL\u2019s first major LAN of the year. Instead, the team now faces the challenge of fighting through the IEM Rio qualifiers.<\/p>\n

He showed no frustration about the situation. Instead, he framed it as part of the process and stayed focused on the work ahead. That approach stood out against the usual star-driven narratives that follow his career.<\/p>\n

Ten-hour days and full commitment<\/h3>\n

The clearest signal came from s1mple\u2019s description of the daily routine. He revealed that the team practices up to ten hours per day \u2014 a workload more typical of Major bootcamps than early roster builds.<\/p>\n

We practice around ten hours a day. I\u2019m genuinely happy to be back in a real working atmosphere.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

Fans quickly picked up on that wording. Many interpreted it as a sign that s1mple feels mentally reset and fully engaged again after a turbulent period.<\/p>\n
