A closer look: BC.Game has entered the world of CS2
BC.Game has made a significant entrance into the competitive Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) scene by assembling a new roster featuring a mix of seasoned veterans and promising talent.
The team, which is sponsored by the online gaming platform BC.Game, has attracted considerable attention with the return of legendary AWPer Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács as their coach.
GuardiaN, widely recognized as one of the best Counter-Strike players of all time, brings his vast experience to the team. He previously played for top teams like FaZe Clan and Natus Vincere, and his leadership is expected to be a crucial asset for the new roster.
The lineup has been rounded out with notable players such as Jonas “Lekr0” Olofsson, known for his strategic gameplay and experience with teams like NIP and fnatic, and Luca “pr1metapz” Voigt, who is emerging from BIG Academy. Additionally, Guy “anarkez” Trachtman, Aleksandar “CacaNito” Kjulukoski, and the recently added Kacper "KwertzZ" Weitz have joined the roster, each bringing unique strengths to the team.
However, the team faced an early setback when Joel "joel" Holmlund was removed from the roster following a ban by Akros Anti-Cheat during an ongoing investigation. Despite this, BC.Game remains focused on establishing themselves as a competitive force in the CS2 scene.
BC.Game’s strategic recruitment reflects their ambition to compete at the highest level in upcoming tournaments, and the esports community is watching closely to see how this new team will perform under GuardiaN’s guidance.
Lackluster results
The BC.Game lineup narrowly lost out on qualification for the European RMR tournament for the upcoming Major in Shanghai. A 19-16 win against ECLOT was followed by two close defeats to Sangal and GamerLegion before losing their third match in a row to be eliminated from the qualifier by TSM.
In the CCT Season 2 Europe Series 7 tournament, BC.Game had made their way into the playoffs, but had to withdraw from their match against B8 due to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Joel "joel" Holmlund.
BC.Game is currently competing in the ESEA Season 50: Advanced Division – Europe tournament, where the team is on route to qualify for the playoffs with an 8-3 score so far.
