BC.Game’s S1mple Falls to Partizan at The Proving Grounds 3

BC.Game, featuring the legendary Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, suffered its first defeat at The Proving Grounds 3. In the match for a playoff spot, the team lost to Serbian side Partizan with a 0–2 scoreline.

The series began on Mirage, where BC.Game struggled against their opponents’ aggressive style, falling to a crushing 2–13 loss. Dust2 was a closer contest, but Partizan once again came out on top, sealing the map 13–9. The result was a convincing victory for Partizan and a drop to the lower bracket for BC.Game.

Team leader s1mple finished the match with 19 kills and 29 deaths overall, including just a 3–14 performance on the first map. This outcome came as a surprise to fans given the Ukrainian AWPer’s reputation and experience.

BC.Game roster: S1mple, Nexa, Cacanito, Pr1metapz, Andu. Coach — Emi.
Partizan roster: Dragon, C0llins, Depreshn, Kind0, Vldn. Coach — Baxacha.

The loss sends BC.Game to the 2-1 pool, and the team will now need to play a decider on August 15 in order to secure a playoff spot. Partizan, however, has made it to the next round of the tournament.

It is not the first time that Partizan has been accused of dirty tricks. Several professional CS2 players have claimed that the team uses radarhack — prohibited software that allows players to see opponents’ positions on the radar. Despite these allegations, the team continues to compete and achieve results on the international stage.
