We said BC Game's road to the Singapore Major ran through Asia, and now it does. electroNic is benched, asap is in from THUNDER dOWNUNDER, and the swap takes them from 36th in Europe's VRS to fourth in Asia's, where the top five get Major invites. Elliott wouldn't have guessed asap in a hundred tries. Horizzon and Elliott are with us to pull the move apart: why asap fits neither the role nor the culture on paper, why speaking English shrank the shortlist, and whether a Techno version of this roster would have topped The MongolZ at their best. From there the conversation gets bigger. Team Falcons just walked away from Dota 2, the PIF is pulling its money out of LIV Golf, and ESL FACEIT Group sits in the same PIF portfolio. We also take on the CS2 Rush Hour update, go to war over map pools and pay our respects to Complexity. How long does BC Game have before the money stops? Is s1mple next out the door now that electroNic is gone? If the Saudi tap closes, can ESL survive on profit alone, and is Counter-Strike worth as much without Cologne and Katowice? And is Nuke the best map ever made, or does Dust II's legacy end the argument? ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - 🎬 BC Game switch to the Asian region 1:15 - asap in, electroNic out, and why every region gets gamed 2:49 - Why asap is such a strange fit 5:34 - Does Asia's competitive integrity matter here? 6:40 - A Techno version of BC Game, and s1mple vs 910 9:01 - Why speaking English shrank the shortlist 12:21 - How long does BC Game have to prove it? 14:01 - Is s1mple next out the door? 20:00 - No gambling brand burns money forever 21:40 - 💰 Falcons leave Dota 2.
