S1mple and BC.Game Arrive in Sweden for a LAN with Five Bo1 Matches in a Single Day

The team BC.Game, together with Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, has successfully arrived in Sweden to take part in Red Bull GIBAWAY JOURNEY 2025 — a new LAN tournament for Counter-Strike 2. The legendary Ukrainian sniper confirmed his arrival by posting a photo from Sweden on social media.

For Kostyliev, this will be his first offline tournament as part of BC.Game. The team was formed relatively recently but has already attracted attention from the community thanks to its participation in several online qualifiers. However, the roster previously failed to qualify for the Skyesports Chennai Esports Global Championship 2025, which could have become their second offline event.

On November 7-8, there will be a tournament in Sweden: Red Bull GIBAWAY JOURNEY 2025 with a prize fund of $10.5 thousand and VRS ranking points. The format is very tight: already on the first day, teams will have to play as many as five Bo1 matches of the group stage, where players will have to show maximum focus and consistency. Moreover, the teams that get a good result will also play the first round of playoffs in Bo3 format just on that day, which makes the schedule even more intense.

Red Bull GIBAWAY JOURNEY 2025 will be a real test of endurance for the renewed BC.Game roster and an important stage for s1mple himself, who continues searching for his form and stability. So far, many fans are looking forward to seeing if he can again show the level that befits one of the Counter-Strike legends.
