- S1mple has announced that he’s joining BC.Game Esports after leaving Natus Vincere.
- According to him, BC.Game Esports is planning on building a top tier team.
- BC.Game Esports has been active in online tournaments, but not much on LAN events.
On July 29, 2025, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev announced that he’s finally “free” and that he’s joining BC.Game Esports, a tier 3 team, according to his statement. S1mple added that the team gave him a chance and that they are serious about building a top-tier team, which might have led to his decision to join them.
BC.Game Esports is a European team mostly playing in C, B and A-Tier online events. They don’t have that much experience when it comes to offline, and their recent LAN appearance was at Intel Extreme Masters Dallas (IEM) 2025, where they finished 13th-16th after FaZe Clan quickly dispatched their roster.
Looking at the team’s liquipedia page, it seems that there’s a bit of roster changes happening, with only three people in the team, including s1mple. The other players are Nemanja “nexa” Isaković and Luca “pr1metapz” Voigt. Nexa is an accomplished player, winning IEM Dallas 2024 back when he was in G2.
Pr1metapz, on the other hand, has been winning C and B-Tier online tournaments. But his achievements pale in comparison to both nexa’s and s1mple’s dominance in offline tournaments.
BC.Game Esports hasn’t made any announcements about which players will round out their new roster. The team still lacks a coach and two players. If s1mple’s words are to go by, it’s safe to say that they are assembling a team ready for Tier 1 Counter-Strike.
