Azbayar “Senzu” Munchbold, a rifler for the BC.Game Esports Counter-Strike 2 roster, and team manager Dylan “spiroo” Lo Vetter commented on Valve’s latest update to the Major supplementary regulations on their personal X social media pages.
Senzu promised not to give up on his goal and spoke out about the players from Sashi Esports, whose actions—according to BIG and MOUZ co-founder Tom Jan Lemke—were the last straw that broke Valve’s patience:
Haha, to be honest, things are actually just getting more interesting. Thanks to everyone who supports us. The main thing is—don’t lose hope; we’re getting better every day. Nothing is impossible, and we’ll keep working hard. I’ll work ten times harder and keep grinding until we achieve our goal. So, see you at the next tournament. And to hell with those bots [The player is referring to Sashi Esports. — Ed.], they should be rolling sushi instead of playing CS.
spiroo, for his part, expressed more general dissatisfaction with the company’s decision, but also didn’t forget to indirectly mention Sashi Esports in his post:
We signed the region’s top three players one by one, signing long-term contracts with all three. Then, a month before the Major invites, we learn about this change, even though just yesterday we were officially classified as an Asian team in Valve’s rankings. Meanwhile, another team is adding two players from APAC at the same time and changing the nationality of an existing player. An interesting situation.
Earlier, BC.Game Esports CEO Ali “akofocus” Mohanned suggested that Valve completely reset the club’s points in the VRS ranking to give them a chance to continue competing in the Asian region and qualify for the Major.
