BC.Game Esports Attempted to Buy Out FaZe Players for Nearly $10 Million

BC.Game Esports considered the possibility of a major roster upgrade in Counter-Strike 2 by acquiring players from FaZe Clan. According to available information, the organization was prepared to offer nearly $10 million to buy out three players at once, but the deal ultimately did not go through.

This became known from a public exchange between analyst Duncan “Thorin” Shields and representatives of BC.Game. In his message, Thorin mentioned potential interest in Finn “karrigan” Andersen, David “frozen” Čerňanský, and Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski — key FaZe players who form the experienced and competitive core of the team.

In response to the analyst’s question, BC.Game representatives confirmed that the organization had indeed attempted to buy out the players and was ready to invest close to $10 million in the deal. However, the details of the negotiations and the reasons for the transfer falling through were not disclosed.

BC.Game’s interest in star players coincided with major internal changes within the team. In December, Nemanja “nexa” Isaković, Aleksandar “CacaNito” Kjulukoski, as well as head coach Luka “emi” Vuković, left the organization. Following this, the community began actively discussing potential roster rebuilds centered around Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev.

There had also been earlier rumors about BC.Game attempting to sign players from Heroic and Astralis, indicating the club’s ambition to quickly assemble a competitive lineup for CS2 tournaments. However, as the situation with FaZe shows, even large financial offers do not always guarantee successful top-tier transfers.
