The move would not be dissimilar to Liquid's acquisition of Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa in order to receive an Americas invite to IEM Cologne. As for electroNic's tenure in the lineup, BC.Game's best showing was a first-place finish in Elisa BreakOut Series #1.
The team then went seven consecutive qualifiers without advancing, until they finally qualified for Stake Pulse Beat III last week. Over these last three months, the Russian has put up a 0.99 average rating over 21 maps.
When asked about the move by HLTV, BC.Game CEO Ali Muhanned said, "It has nothing to do with electroNic.
If we had more time for the Major, I would have actually given him more time just because the team is new." For 23-year-old asap, this would be his first foray outside of an Australian organization.
