GOSH (BC.Game) at the PGL Singapore Major 2026
s1mple's team reached its first Major through the Asian rankings after an autumn roster change. It plays Singapore as GOSH, with a new logo.
BC.Game is the team built around s1mple, with former MongolZ players Senzu and mzinho and four-time Major winner Magisk. It is the organization's first Major and s1mple's first since BLAST.tv Paris 2023. BC.Game qualified as an Asian team and starts in Stage 1 as the thirteenth seed, ranked #45 in Valve's Regional Standings (VRS) of November 2. The invite is confirmed, but the team will not play under the BC.Game name in Singapore.
Roster and invite
| Players | s1mple, Magisk, asap, Senzu, mzinho |
| Coach | TaZ |
| Region | Asia |
| Valve ranking (Nov 2) | #45 global, 1337 points |

After the Esports World Cup qualifier in August, where electroNic was still in the lineup, BC.Game replaced him with Australian player asap. The signing moved the team from Europe's rankings into Asia's. A Valve rule change on October 6 threatened that plan, but after an appeal from CEO Ali "Ako" Muhanned, Valve announced on October 7 that this five is assigned to Asia and eligible for a Major invite.
On November 6 Muhanned confirmed that local regulations in Singapore stop the team from using the BC.Game name and logo at the Major. He said a new name had been submitted and was waiting for approval. On November 9 PGL's team graphics showed the new name: the team plays the Major as GOSH, with a new logo. This page uses BC.Game for results before Singapore.
Model odds
BC.Game are seed 13 of 16 in Stage 1 (November 24-27). Chances from our model:
| Outcome | Chance |
|---|---|
| 3-0 in Stage 1 | 4.7% |
| Advance from Stage 1 (3-0, 3-1 or 3-2) | 28% |

The model plays the event 20,000 times with Valve's Swiss pairing rules; each map win chance comes only from VRS points (Valve's expected-score formula, softened), so it knows nothing about form, maps or roster news. It is not a betting tip. Calculated November 8, 2026. Play it out yourself in the Major simulator.
Form going into Singapore
- October 2026, DraculaN Season 7: beat FaZe 2-0 in the lower-bracket semifinal on October 22, a win HLTV said guaranteed their Major ticket, then were eliminated 0-2 by JiJieHao later that day.
- October 2026, Stake Pulse Beat III (Stockholm): beat MIBR 2-1, s1mple's first win over a top-20 team in 260 days, then lost 0-2 to HEROIC and 1-2 to MIBR in the rematch and went out in the group stage.
- October 2026, Journey Autumn: lost the quarterfinal 1-2 to BBL Esports on October 3.
- August 2026, Esports World Cup qualifier: beat OG 2-0, then lost a three-map series to 100 Thieves and missed the EWC.
Strengths
- Big-event experience. Magisk has won four Majors (London 2018, Katowice 2019, Berlin 2019, Paris 2023), and s1mple returns to the Major stage for the first time since BLAST.tv Paris 2023.
- They can beat Stage 1's better seeds. The 2-0 over FaZe in October came against the fourth seed in their stage, and the MIBR win came against a Stage 2 invitee.
- Firepower beyond s1mple. In the EWC qualifier win over OG, Senzu went 45-25 with a 1.80 rating.
Weaknesses
- A new piece, late. asap was not part of the lineup that played the EWC qualifier in August, so this exact five has had at most about three months together before Stage 1.
- Results are up and down. In each of their three October events they lost the series that would have taken them deeper: BBL in the Journey Autumn quarterfinal, MIBR in the Stockholm decider and JiJieHao in the DraculaN lower bracket.
- Ranking. At #45 in the VRS only three Stage 1 teams rank lower, so the Swiss draw gives them tough opening matchups on paper.
Key player
All eyes will be on s1mple, but the numbers we found point to Senzu as well. He carried the 2-0 over OG in the EWC qualifier with 45 kills and a 1.80 rating, including 25 kills on Cache. With asap still settling in, BC.Game need both of them firing to win the Bo1s.
Pick'Em verdict
Leave BC.Game out of your Stage 1 picks. Our model, which only knows VRS points, gives them about 29% to advance and about 22% to go 0-3. That 0-3 chance is real, but the model Pick'Em puts Lynn Vision and Chinggis Warriors in those slots, both near 30%, and a team with s1mple and Magisk that just beat FaZe is a risky 0-3 call. s1mple has said he is more than sure the team will reach Stage 3, but their autumn results do not back that up yet. Test their path in the Major simulator, and follow the name announcement on our Singapore Major hub.
