BC.Game will play as GOSH, 1win as THE ONE, BetBoom as BB Team, and PARIVISION as PVISION. The Counter-Strike Major starts on November 24 with 32 teams.

This article covers the new names, the logo changes, the reason for the rule, and the PGL Major Singapore schedule for each team.

BC.Game is ranked No. 49 on HLTV’s world ranking. 1win sits at No. 16, PARIVISION at No. 13, and BetBoom at No. 7. The ranking was last updated on November 2.

Why the 4 Teams Must Change Names

The reason is Singapore’s gambling rules. The companies behind the four teams are not licensed to operate in the country. Earlier coverage linked the situation to Singapore’s Gambling Control Act 2022.

Earlier reports said the restrictions cover team names, logos, and in-game stickers. The same coverage said all teams with a gambling sponsor would not be allowed to show those sponsors. The four teams in this story had to change their full organization names.

BC.Game CEO Ali Muhanned said that the organization knew about the gambling restrictions in Singapore. He said it had submitted an alternative team name and was waiting for PGL and Valve to respond.

Teams Used Different Names Before

The change is not new for these teams. BetBoom appeared as BB Team and PARIVISION used the shortened name VISION at IEM Beijing 2026. 1win competed as The One during ESL Pro League.

At The International 2026 in Shanghai, BetBoom used BoomBoys, PARIVISION competed as Team Vision, and 1win appeared as Iron Wing. BetBoom had said it would not use the BoomBoys name at the Singapore Major.

BC.Game GOSH Roster

BC.Game will field s1mple, Magisk, asap, Senzu, and mzinho. The five players will compete under the GOSH name. BC.Game qualified for the Major through the Asian Valve Regional Standings.

PGL Major Singapore Schedule and Format

PGL Major Singapore starts on November 24 with Stage 1. Stage 1 features 16 teams, including FaZe, Liquid, 100 Thieves, and HEROIC.

The Major has 32 teams in 3 Swiss stages. The highest-ranked teams from each region start in Stage 3. The next group starts in Stage 2, and the lowest-ranked teams start in Stage 1.

The Major playoffs run from December 10 to 13 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. The event carries a $1,250,000 prize pool.

The name changes do not affect qualification. All four teams earned their places through the Valve Regional Standings.
