BC.Game CEO Asks Valve to Wipe Team's VRS Points: "Take All of Our Points Away"

BC.Game's CEO wants his team to start over. In an official statement published on 7 October 2026, Ali "Ako" Muhanned asked Valve to strip the organization of every VRS point it holds and let its current five players earn a Major place from nothing.

The statement is a response to Valve's recent adjustment to the CS Major Supplemental Rulebook, which changes how regional assignment is handled after roster changes. BC.Game says it has been affected by that change. Muhanned opens the statement by saying the organization has spent the past few days reading everything written about the team, its Asian VRS ranking and the Major.

A concession before the request

Muhanned doesn't attack the rule itself. "We understand why Valve introduced stricter regional rules. The integrity of the system needs to be protected, and we respect that," he writes. His objection is to how it applies to his team: "it's difficult for us to accept that our situation is being treated the same as every other case."

His case rests on the roster. BC.Game's current five are asap, mzinho, Senzu, s1mple and Magisk. Three of them, asap, mzinho and Senzu, are Asian players, which Muhanned describes as "three players who have competed at the highest level of Asian Counter-Strike." He calls them the team's core.

The offer

Rather than argue over "old points, interpretations or technicalities," as the statement puts it, BC.Game proposes the reset as what it considers the fairest option. Muhanned frames it as the treatment a brand-new organization would get if it entered Counter-Strike with the same five players today.

He also acknowledges what the offer costs. The team has roughly three weeks, and he writes that going from zero to enough VRS points in that window "might be almost impossible." BC.Game says it is willing to accept that, and that missing out would mean missing the Major.

Keeping the roster whole

The line that explains the whole statement is about personnel. Muhanned says the organization does not want to "remove another player simply to find a technical solution." That reads as a reference to the option the new rule might otherwise push BC.Game toward, though the statement does not spell out what that option would be. His position is that the five should win or lose their spot "on the server."

He also leans on the organization's record of investment, saying BC.Game has put millions into Counter-Strike because it wants to be part of the community and support its ecosystem. On the points, he draws a distinction: the team is "not asking to take away something another team has earned," while being "willing to give away everything we have earned."

What happens next

Nothing in the statement or its accompanying coverage indicates that Valve has agreed to the proposal, and this is a public request, not a ruling. The full text of the rule change is covered in HLTV's report on Valve's VRS region swap adjustment.

For now the position is laid out in Muhanned's closing lines: "0 points. 5 players. 3 weeks. If we fail, we stay home. If we make it, we earned it."
