BC.Game Esports ended a streak of seven consecutive failed qualifiers and qualified for Stake Pulse Beat III

Yesterday marked the conclusion of the second open qualifier for Stake Pulse Beat III—BC.Game Esports secured the final invite to the tournament after defeating Sashi Esport 2-1 in the final.

Thanks to this victory, Alexander “s1mple” Kostylev’s team ended its streak of seven consecutive failed qualifiers—a run during which the squad missed out on opportunities to compete in the Esports World Cup 2026, Stake Pulse Beat II, IEM Beijing 2026, and PGL Masters Bucharest 2026.

Stake Pulse Beat III will take place October 12–17 in Stockholm, Sweden. Sixteen teams will compete in the VRS tournament, with the champion to be determined following two stages. The event’s total prize pool is $80,000.
