In a move that’s turning heads across the CS2 scene, BC.GAME Esports has officially announced the signing of Denis “electronic” Sharipov, reuniting him with long-time teammate Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev under the same jersey for the first time since their NaVi days.
The pair previously formed the backbone of Natus Vincere’s golden era, lifting the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 trophy together and dominating events like BLAST Premier Global Final and IEM Cologne. Their synergy, mid-round discipline, and ability to deliver in high-pressure situations made them one of the most feared duos in CS:GO history.
Now, under the BC.GAME Esports banner, they aim to bring that same chemistry into CS2.
“I’m excited to join @BCGameEsports and reunite with @s1mpleO,” said electronic. “I’m more hungry and motivated than ever before—and ready to put in the work.”
As part of a broader effort to strengthen its competitive foundation and deepen fan engagement, BC.GAME Esports confirms that electronic will not only play a central rifler role but also contribute to content creation through match reviews, training footage, livestreams, and community meetups.
The organization also hinted that another tier-one signing is in the works to complete their core lineup ahead of the new competitive season.
