BC.Game received devastating news today as Valve blocked their path to the PGL Singapore Major. The decision came as part of Valve's crackdown on teams attempting to switch regions for easier Major qualification routes.
The ruling hit BC.Game particularly hard since they had essentially secured their Singapore spot after their first showing with Tyson "asap" Paterson at ROG JOURNEY Autumn 2026.
While BC.Game initiated the region switch attempt, BIG co-founder Tom J. Lemke revealed that Valve cited Sashi's similar move as the trigger for enforcement action.
This sparked Mongolian star Azbayar "Senzu" Munkhbold to unleash on social media. He posted an emotional message encouraging supporters not to lose faith, promising to work ten times harder and grind toward their next opportunity at Stake Pulse Beat III.
Then came the shots fired: "And fuck these bots, they should be making sushi instead of playing CS." The wordplay targeting the Danish organization was unmistakable.
BC.Game manager Dylan "spiroo" Lo Vetere defended his team's approach, highlighting they signed three top regional players individually on long-term deals. He contrasted this with another squad adding two APAC players simultaneously while changing an existing player's nationality just before Major invitations.
BC.Game's official account retweeted Lemke, asserting Valve penalized the wrong team.
Meanwhile, Sashi responded with humor, joking about supposedly orchestrating the entire controversy.
