Denis “electroNic” Sharipov has reunited with Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev after agreeing to a move out of Virtus.pro’s bench to join BC Game.
Arguably one of the greatest duos to ever grace Counter-Strike, electroNic and s1mple shared the stage for 6 years in NAVI colors, winning some of the most notable honours and etching their names in the history of the game.
Since the release of CS2, both players have fallen below their usual standards, with s1mple going off the radar until his return to tier-1, marked by a brief stint with FaZe and Falcons. electroNic, on the other hand, spent his time on unsuccessful rosters until he was benched from his IGL role in Virtus.pro.
BC.Game has been quietly acquiring top talent in the hopes of building a roster that would reach tier-1 at some point. While signing s1mple was far from quiet, electroNic’s addition would definitely draw the world’s attention to them.
BC.Game are now:
- Aleksandar “CacaNito” Kjulukoski
- Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev
- Andreas “aNdu” Maasing
- Denis “electroNic” Sharipov
- Nemanja “nexa” Isaković
- Luka “emi” Vuković (coach)
It is hard to when which tournament they plan to take part in next, but it goes without saying that this roster will be closely monitored by the CS community, given the names that will be donning BC.Game’s colors. Whether this will work or not, only time can tell, but till then, we can get a few more matches with s1mple and electroNic as teammates.
