BC.Game Officially Sign SAW Trio to Complete New CS2 Roster With s1mple and electroNic

BC.Game have officially secured the SAW trio of MUTiRiS, krazy, and aragornN, finalizing their new Counter-Strike 2 roster built around superstar duo s1mple and electroNic. The move concludes weeks of speculation and confirms one of the most high-profile roster rebuilds of the CS2 offseason.

The Portuguese core joins BC.Game after SAW confirmed the sale of their roster earlier this month, with multiple Tier-1 and Tier-2 organizations linked to the players during negotiations.

BC.Game complete roster rebuild with SAW core

With the signings now official, BC.Game’s active CS2 lineup consists of:

Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev

Denis “electroNic” Sharipov

Christopher “MUTiRiS” Fernandes (in-game leader)

António “aragornN” Barbosa

Adones “krazy” Nobre

MUTiRiS is expected to take over IGL duties, bringing structure and leadership from SAW’s recent competitive run. The trio represents the core of a roster that previously held a top-25 position in the Valve Regional Standings (VRS)—an important factor in today’s CS2 competitive ecosystem.

Why BC.Game targeted the SAW trio

BC.Game’s interest in the SAW core was first reported by HLTV sources following a turbulent rebuild period that saw several roster and staff changes. The organization ultimately prioritized:

VRS continuity, crucial for invitations and long-term stability

Established chemistry, with MUTiRiS, krazy, and aragornN playing together consistently

Clear leadership, allowing s1mple and electroNic to focus on firepower

Earlier reports linked BC.Game to alternative roster options, but negotiations eventually shifted toward the Portuguese lineup after SAW explored selling their roster.

MUTiRiS reacts to SAW exit and BC.Game move

Following the official announcement, MUTiRiS shared an emotional message reflecting on his time with SAW, thanking teammates, staff, and supporters for the journey. Shortly after, he expressed excitement about the new challenge and the opportunity to compete alongside two of Counter-Strike’s most decorated players.

The move marks MUTiRiS’ biggest international opportunity to date and positions him as a central figure in BC.Game’s long-term project.

SAW confirm roster sale amid transfer window chaos

SAW publicly announced the sale of their roster shortly before BC.Game finalized the deal. During the same period:

Other SAW players were linked to teams such as FlyQuest and North American organizations

Multiple outlets reported on interest across Europe and NA

SAW effectively exited top-tier CS competition for the time being

The announcement cleared the way for BC.Game to complete negotiations and register the trio.

Strategic impact for BC.Game in CS2

This roster gives BC.Game:

A clear competitive identity built around elite firepower and structured leadership

Immediate relevance in CS2 roster rankings and VRS calculations

One of the most internationally diverse lineups in the scene

While results will determine the project’s success, the organization has now fully committed to a defined direction after months of instability.

Final thoughts

The signing of MUTiRiS, krazy, and aragornN officially ends BC.Game’s rebuild phase and launches a new chapter featuring s1mple and electroNic at the core. With proven leadership, preserved ranking value, and star power, BC.Game enter the next CS2 season as one of the most closely watched projects outside the traditional Tier-1 elite.
