BC.Game Target SAW Core in Major Roster Rebuild – Sources

BC.Game are continuing their aggressive Counter-Strike 2 rebuild and have now set their sights on the core of SAW, according to multiple sources cited by HLTV and Dust2.us. The move would mark another step in BC.Game’s attempt to fast-track themselves into the top tier of international CS2 competition.

BC.Game Interested in SAW’s Portuguese Core

Sources indicate that BC.Game are targeting three key players from SAW:

• Christopher “MUTiRiS” Fernandes

• António “aragornN” Barbosa

• Adones “krazy” Nobre

The reported plan would see BC.Game acquire a ready-made core, a strategy increasingly used by organizations looking to benefit from Valve Regional Standings (VRS) continuity and faster access to tier-one events.

Why the SAW Core Makes Sense for BC.Game

From an esports ranking perspective, acquiring SAW’s core could provide instant structural stability, established roles, and valuable ranking points. SAW have consistently competed in international events and built a reputation for discipline and tactical cohesion — qualities BC.Game have been seeking throughout their rebuild.

This approach aligns with BC.Game’s recent transfer behavior, which has focused on high-impact acquisitions rather than long-term development projects.

BC.Game’s Ongoing Roster Overhaul

BC.Game’s interest in SAW follows a turbulent off-season that has already seen several major changes:

• Signing s1mple, one of the most decorated players in Counter-Strike history

• Adding electroNic, reuniting a proven championship duo

• Parting ways with nexa

• Benching CacaNito

• Ending the collaboration with coach emi

The organization is widely expected to continue reshaping the roster before finalizing its competitive lineup for the upcoming season.

SAW Players Drawing Interest Elsewhere

SAW’s situation is further complicated by reported interest from other organizations. Portuguese media have previously linked:

• story with international suitors, including FlyQuest

• Ag1l with interest from North American organizations

While none of these moves are confirmed, the growing attention around SAW’s roster increases the likelihood of significant changes during the transfer window.

Previous BC.Game Transfer Attempts

Before turning their attention to SAW, BC.Game were reported to have explored other high-profile options. Sources previously linked the organization to talks involving Astralis players and later the HEROIC core, though neither avenue ultimately materialized.

With those options off the table, SAW now appear to be the most realistic and strategically aligned target.

What Happens Next?

As of now:

• No agreement has been finalized

• Talks are described as interest and exploration, not a completed transfer

• SAW continue to compete with their current lineup

Still, if completed, the move would represent one of the most impactful roster acquisitions of the CS2 off-season, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape heading into 2026.
