After months of speculation, BC.Game Esports have confirmed one of the biggest transfers of the season. Denis “electroNic” Sharipov has joined the team, reuniting with his former Natus Vincere teammate Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev. For the first time since PGL Major Stockholm 2021, where they led NAVI to their historic title, the iconic duo are once again playing side by side. This time, however, they do so under the banner of an ambitious yet developing organization.
A successful debut for BC.Game

The opening day of the Skyesports Chennai Esports Global Championship 2025 European qualifier turned into a statement for BC.Game.
Their first match ended in a confident 13–6 win against QUAZAR on Mirage. electroNic played a steady game (17–10 K–D, 1.54 rating) and controlled the A-site with precision. Meanwhile, aNdu stood out as the MVP with a 1.91 rating.
Later, BC.Game faced NOVAQ in the quarterfinals and won 2–1. Once again, the reunited duo proved decisive:
- s1mple: 74–52 K–D, 1.26 rating
- electroNic: 69–60 K–D, 1.16 rating
Together they recorded over 140 kills, showing that their chemistry remains intact. If BC.Game beat BIG in the next round, they will qualify for the $50,000 LAN event in India.
The return of legends — BC.Game’s new core
The comeback of s1mple and electroNic quickly caught the attention of fans and analysts alike. Although BC.Game still belong to the tier-three scene, the project already looks promising.
The organization appears to view its new star duo as the foundation for a future tier-one roster. Some fans even joke that “BC.Game are becoming NaVi 2.0,” only this time in a more commercially driven and fast-moving environment.
Community reaction and memes
Social media immediately exploded after the news that the two could travel to India for the LAN. Dozens of memes flooded Telegram and Reddit. The most viral one showed s1mple and electroNic riding elephants with the caption:
If they beat BIG — s1mple and electroNic are going to India for a $50,000 tournament.
electroNic himself joined the banter, writing:
We remember those Indian tournaments… You go out for a walk, and pigs are roaming around piles of garbage.
The comment triggered both laughter and controversy. Many community channels joked that
The 2021 NAVI tactic lives on — just in a different lineup.
Fans filled the comment sections with lines like:
- “Just don’t go outside when you get to India.”
- “It’ll be fun watching this duo’s road from rags to riches.”
- “Better not tell them that ‘castes’ in India aren’t about commentary.”
- “Hope they don’t catch dysentery there.”
Despite the humor, the phrase ‘s1mple + electroNic in India’ became a trending topic across multiple esports platforms. Within hours, it brought BC.Game hundreds of thousands of mentions online.

What’s next for BC.Game?
Next, BC.Game face their biggest challenge yet — BIG, a real test of strength after electroNic’s arrival. A win would not only send them to the LAN but also confirm that this project has real potential. If the s1mple–electroNic duo can stay motivated and consistent, BC.Game might evolve from a “meme project” into a genuine tier-one contender on the global Counter-Strike 2 stage.
