BC.Game Advances to the Stake Pulse Beat III Points Tournament

BC.Game secured the final spot at Stake Pulse Beat III, defeating Sashi 2-1 in the second open qualifier final to book a place at the $80,000 LAN event.

Led by Magisk, BC.Game unexpectedly slipped up on their first attempt, falling to Xcity, a side ranked only 325th in VRS. In the second qualifier, Phantom pushed them hard again in the semifinals, but BC.Game ultimately reached the final and, after dropping the opening map, came back from a map down to beat Sashi, finally securing qualification.

This qualification also brought an end to a difficult recent stretch of online play for BC.Game. Over the past few weeks, they made early exits in two PGL Masters Bucharest open qualifiers and the IEM Beijing open qualifier.

Fortunately, both of those losses came before the matches were officially listed on HLTV, so they did not have much impact on BC.Game's VRS ranking, and the team still has a chance to compete for a spot at PGL Major Singapore 2026.

However, their recent struggles also show that this newly reshuffled roster still has plenty of work to do. BC.Game previously won Elisa Breakout Series 1, but then only finished 9th-16th in the EWC open qualifier.

Stake Pulse Beat III will take place from October 12 to 17 in Stockholm, Sweden, with a total prize pool of $80,000. BC.Game will compete alongside Astralis, B8, Liquid, HEROIC and other teams.

The Stake Pulse Beat III lineup is as follows:
