It's finally happened! After teasing Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) esports fans quite a lot, the BC.Game organization (yes, like the bookmaker) has announced a new team member, joining GOAT Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev on their roster that continues to power up. Yes, you read the title correctly, BC.Game has signed Denis "electroNic" Sharipov!

Denis "electroNic" Sharipov was a huge part of NAVI's success a few years ago, winning the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 with the GOAT of CS:GO, Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev. While that Major-winning squad has long since passed, it is a pleasure to report that the duo has reunited on the BC.Game roster.

BC.Game took to social media to announce the signing of Denis "electroNic" Sharipov.

Earlier in October, the Russian rifler was benched on the Virtus.pro lineup, and now we know why!

The BC.Game roster:

• Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev
• Denis "electroNic" Sharipov
• Aleksandar "CacaNito" Kjulukoski
• Andreas "aNdu" Maasing
• Nemanja "nexa" Isaković (IGL)
• Luka "emi" Vuković (Coach)

With BC.Game, s1mple has found renewed form. However, the team has only played online Tier 2 events thus far. It remains to be seen how the squad will perform with Denis "electroNic" Sharipov and when/if they'll break into the Tier 1 scene. Even so, it's exciting to see the Major-winning duo reunite.
