PARIVISION eliminate BC.Game with s1mple and electroNic from ESL Challenger League Season 50: Europe

PARIVISION have knocked BC.Game’s star-studded roster featuring Oleksandr s1mple Kostyliev and Denis electroNic Sharipov out of ESL Challenger League Season 50: Europe.
In the online semi-final on 18 November, Jame’s team won 2–0 — 13–11 on Ancient and 13–5 on Mirage — and moved to within one best-of-three of a spot in ESL Pro League Season 23. 

Match recap: Jame’s squad shut down the super-duo

The series was played as a best-of-three semi-final in the ESL Challenger League Season 50 Europe Finals. The veto left Ancient as PARIVISION’s pick, Mirage for BC.Game, and Inferno as the decider that was never needed. 

Ancient – PARIVISION 13 : 11 BC.Game

PARIVISION started strong, taking an 8–4 lead in the first half and eventually closing the map 13–11. 

According to HLTV stats, Emil “nota” Moskvitin topped the server across both maps with 36–21 K-D and 1.52 rating, while Andrey “BELCHONOKK” Yasinskiy and Vladislav “xiELO” Lysov also posted ratings above 1.25. 

Mirage – PARIVISION 13 : 5 BC.Game

On BC.Game’s map choice, PARIVISION dominated, winning the first half 7–5 and then sweeping the CT side to finish 13–5, leaving the decider Inferno unused. 

nota once again led the way on Mirage with a 2.23 rating, backed up by high-impact games from AW, BELCHONOKK and xiELO. 

For BC.Game, s1mple ended the series with a 1.03 rating (27–27 K-D), while electroNic finished on 0.96. The rest of the squad — nexa and aNdu — struggled to keep up with PARIVISION’s pressure. 

Bracket and what’s next

ESL Challenger League Season 50: Europe Finals is an online event running 18–20 November, with teams fighting for a single slot in ESL Pro League Season 23. 

PARIVISION’s win over BC.Game secured their place in the grand final, scheduled for 20 November, 21:00 MSK. 

In the second semi-final, SINNERS Esports face Friendly Campers, with the winner meeting PARIVISION in the decider. The match is set for 19 November, 21:00 MSK. 

For Jame and his team, one more series now stands between them and a place in EPL’s revamped format, where Challenger League winners feed directly into the early stages of the Pro League. 

PARIVISION: from Challenger grinders to favourites

PARIVISION’s CS2 roster has been built as a long-term project around Dzhami “Jame” Ali as in-game leader, with nota, BELCHONOKK, xiELO and AW forming the current core. 

Over the course of 2025 the team has steadily become one of the most dangerous Tier-2 lineups in Europe:

1st place – ESL Challenger League Season 50 Europe Cup 1. 

2nd place – ESL Challenger League Season 49 Europe. 

Qualifying for StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025 after a strong run in regional qualifiers.

The organisation itself highlights these ECL results as part of a broader push into CS2 that has already seen them lift multiple regional trophies and qualify for bigger international events. 

BC.Game: superteam project hits early roadblock

BC.Game entered the Season 50 Europe Finals as one of the headline squads of the tournament thanks to their star power. Their current lineup features:

Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev

Denis “electroNic” Sharipov

Nemanja “nexa” Isaković

Aleksandar “CacaNito” Kjulukoski

Andreas “aNdu” Maasing 

The organisation is relatively new to CS2 but has already built up a solid résumé in the Tier-2 scene, including:

Victory at CCT Season 2 Europe Series #19. 

A string of strong online results that pushed them into the European top-30 and earned a slot in ESL Challenger League Season 50: Europe. 

On their own website, BC.Game also celebrate winning ECL Cup #2 with the new roster, underlining how quickly the project started to deliver results before this finals setback.

How the s1mple & electroNic reunion came together

BC.Game’s elimination is especially notable because the club invested heavily in rebuilding around the legendary duo who dominated CS with NAVI.

s1mple’s move

In late July 2025, BC.Game announced a long-term deal with s1mple, describing him as the centrepiece of their ambitions to break into Tier-1 Counter-Strike. 

In the official announcement, s1mple said:

“This isn’t just a signing — it’s the start of a new chapter. I’m excited for what’s ahead.” 

electroNic joins to reunite the duo

In October, BC.Game completed the reunion by signing Denis “electroNic” Sharipov, reuniting him with s1mple after their six-year run together on NAVI, where they won titles such as PGL Major Stockholm 2021, IEM Cologne and BLAST Premier Global Final. 

Upon joining, electroNic commented:

“I am glad to announce that I am joining the BCGame Esports team. I am very happy to play together with s1mple again. Incredibly hungry and motivated to work like never before!” 

BC.Game’s own communications emphasise that electronic will contribute not only in the server but also in content — match breakdowns, behind-the-scenes videos, and fan events — as the organisation tries to build a broader esports brand around the roster. 

What this result means

For PARIVISION:

Another deep run in ESL Challenger League confirms their status as one of the strongest Tier-2 teams in the CIS and Europe.

A win in the grand final would secure a spot in ESL Pro League Season 23, and with it regular matches against the world’s best. 

For BC.Game:

The project around s1mple and electroNic takes an early hit, missing out on one of the most straightforward paths to ESL Pro League via Challenger League regional finals. 

Given their recent tournament wins and the calibre of their roster, expectations will remain high for future qualifiers and events.
