The CEO of BCGame Esports asked to reset his team’s VRS points and give him the opportunity to make it to the major as a team from Asia

BCGame Esports CEO Ali Ako Muhanned reached out to Valve via an open letter. He called on the company to allow the CS2 roster to retain its place in the Asian VRS rankings, but with points reset before the decisive championships.

We just want a fair chance to prove our worth. Over the last few days we have been reading everything that is being said about BCGame, the move to the Asian VRS and the Major. We understand why Valve has implemented stricter regional rules. The integrity of the system must be protected, and we respect that. But we find it difficult to accept the fact that our situation is perceived in the same way as others. Our current roster has three players from Asia - asap, mzinho and Senzu. All performed at the highest level of Asian Counter-Strike. This is our backbone. These are the players we believe in. Therefore, instead of arguing about old points, interpretations of rules or technical nuances, we want to offer a solution that we consider to be as fair as possible. Take all the points from us. Let BCGame have zero VRS points and let asap, mzinho, Senzu, s1mple and Magisk start with a clean slate. No existing rating. No rolling points. No advantage. Only the results that these five people earn from that point forward should count. This is exactly what we would be treated like if a completely new organization came into Counter-Strike today with these five players. We do not ask to be treated better than others. We ask you not to treat us worse. Give us a fair starting position: zero. We have about three weeks. We understand that during this time it is almost impossible to rise from zero to the number of VRS points required to qualify for a major. We are ready to take on this challenge. If we can't earn enough points, we won't make it to the major. We accept it. But if these five players start from absolutely nothing and somehow manage to work their way into a position in three weeks that will earn them a spot in a major, then they've earned it. We don't want to remove another player from the lineup just for the sake of a technical solution to the problem. These are our five players. Let them make or break their chance directly on the server. We've invested millions into Counter-Strike because we truly want to be a part of this community and support its ecosystem. We are not asking to take away what the other team earned. We are ready to give up everything that we ourselves have earned. Just give our five players a chance to get it all over again. Send us to start from scratch. Let us play. Let the server decide everything. Zero points. Five players. Three weeks. If we fail, we will stay home. If we pass, it means we deserve it. Ali Ako Muhanned CEO BCGame Esports

BCGame has been active in the European region since opening its CS division in 2024. In 2026, three representatives of Asia gradually joined the team: first, the Mongolians Azbayar Senzu Munkhbold and Ayush mzinho Batbold joined the roster, and at the end of September the team signed Tyson asap Paterson from Australia. This allowed BCGame to change regions and thus have a chance to qualify for the Major as an Asian team.

WW Team and Sashi Esport did a similar thing, but they not only signed representatives from Asia, but also changed the citizenship of one of the current players. After this, Valve changed the rules by which the team's region is determined. According to the new regulations, in order to be linked to another region, the roster must perform in it for at least three months. The CS2 developers clarified that the rules also apply to PGL Major Singapore 2026, so all three teams lost the opportunity to get to the major based on VRS points from Asia.
