s1mple passionately argues with netizens over the regional issue.

The regional-status controversy sparked by sashi has recently set overseas fans arguing nonstop. sashi brought the issue of switching competitive regions into the open and put it firmly on the community’s radar. Valve has finally stepped in to tighten the rules, but BC.Game Esports can still qualify for PGL Major Singapore 2026 through Asia. The debate has therefore centered on whether BC.Game Esports should receive a special exception from Valve to gain Major qualification eligibility through Asia. In a rare burst of intense online activity, s1mple traded heated barbs with fans.

kassad: Fairly speaking, neither Sashi nor BC.Game should have been disqualified. Strictly speaking, they (sashi) didn’t do anything that violated the rules and shouldn’t be punished.

s1mple: Even dumber than I imagined.

kassad: Did you even read that tweet, or were you high as hell?

s1mple: I'm not talking about any specific tweet or any particular Valve Regional Standings situation, just speaking more generally.

kassad: Ah, yes, that’s exactly what you’re doing right now. Talk less here and do more in-game. And I don’t mean Dota 2.

s1mple: Ah, my foolish CS2 enthusiasts, I can see you're trying your best, but unfortunately, your brain's IQ doesn't allow you to understand CS any better—whether on the server or off it. Go watch the demo.

kassad: You used to be one of the greatest players. Look at you now—trying to qualify for the Major by exploiting loopholes and abusing the rules. Pathetic. If you had any guts, you would not even try something like this. But that is who you are; it has always been who you are. At the end of the day, you are washed.

s1mple: Hahaha, you should retire—and while you're at it, level up your mental health to the next tier. I’ve got the guts to say this because, before all this happened, I’d never even thought about switching regions. But your true nature is to be this universe’s cesspit, doing nothing but dragging attention onto yourself. Grow up, kid.

kassad: You should probably go to sleep, GOAT. Whatever little you had left in your head is too fried for this conversation. Stop lying to these people — it doesn’t suit you. People who got kicked will obviously talk. Get some sleep and focus on your game.

b1rd: But why throw shade, brother? What exactly did kassad do to you, honestly?

s1mple: No, this has nothing to do with me. I don’t think he’s ever said anything bad about me. I’m just tired of his rage-bait posts about all kinds of CS topics.

Mauisnake: Hating purely out of love for this game.

s1mple: I found you a new friend. You can work out the podcast stuff between yourselves.

neL: Honestly, I don’t understand why BC is being treated differently. Sure, it’s not quite as blatant, but the goal is basically the same: to take advantage of Asia. The regional switch happened 10 days ago. Why is one acceptable, but not Sashi? *I’m willing to hear why people think this is fine.

s1mple: Are you stupid?
