PGL’s official team graphics for Singapore confirm that four teams with betting brands in their names will play under new ones, and only two of them get a new logo.
s1mple’s BC.Game will play the PGL Major Singapore as GOSH. PGL revealed the names and logos of all 32 teams on X on Monday at , and four sides from the betting industry appear under new names: BC.Game as GOSH, 1win as THE ONE, BetBoom as BB Team and PARIVISION as PVISION.
GOSH and THE ONE come with new logos. BB Team and PVISION keep the symbols fans already know and only lose the betting brand from the name, as NarT pointed out in his side-by-side of the old and new branding.
| Usual name | Singapore name | Logo | Starts in |
|---|---|---|---|
 BC.Game | GOSH | New | Stage 1 |
 PARIVISION | PVISION | Unchanged | Stage 1 |
 1win | THE ONE | New | Stage 2 |
 BetBoom | BB Team | Unchanged | Stage 3 |
No other team has a new name. The other 28 appear as they usually do, and one sponsor survives: 9z are listed as “9z Globant”, since Globant is a software company and not a betting brand. Imperial, whom Dust2.us had also named because of their Gamdom sponsorship, are simply “Imperial Esports”.
Why the names had to change
As we reported on Saturday, Singapore law does not allow unlicensed gambling brands to be promoted at events, and Singapore Pools is the only operator licensed for online betting in the country. BC.Game chief executive Ali “Ako” Muhanned confirmed then that his team could not use its name or logo and had sent PGL and Valve an alternative. Monday’s graphics show which names were approved.
Fan streams face an even stricter line: community streams of the Major cannot show any sponsor at all, as we reported last week.
BC.Game’s own esports account took it with humour the day before the reveal:
GOSH, not GODSENT
The name breaks a week of guessing. Last Thursday, NarT reported the rumour that BC.Game could revive GODSENT at the Major, since BC.Game’s owner had reportedly bought the old Swedish brand earlier this year. Ako ran GODSENT before he joined BC.Game.
GOSH is the name of a live streaming platform, Gosh Live, at gosh.com. Its X account is followed by both Ako and BC Game Esports, and Ako went live on GOSH on Saturday night with s1mple billed as one of his guests.
The new name changes nothing about the lineup. GOSH are s1mple, Senzu, four-time Major winner Magisk, mzinho and asap, with TaZ as coach.
Where the four start
GOSH have the longest road. They start in Stage 1 on 24 November alongside PVISION, the team of Jame, and both need three wins before three losses just to reach Stage 2.
THE ONE wait for Stage 2 on 28 November. nafany calls for the side, and 1win’s owner has promised every player a Rolls-Royce if they win it, a promise Ako matched for his own players, as we reported last week.
BB Team go straight to Stage 3 on 2 December with Boombl4 and the lineup that finished fourth at IEM Beijing on Sunday. They have used the short name before, at IEM Beijing itself.
The playoffs are at the Singapore Indoor Stadium from 10 to 13 December. See every team at the PGL Major Singapore for all 32 lineups.
