BC.Game Eliminated from Stake Pulse Beat II Open Qualifier for Second Time

BC.Game concluded its run in the open qualifiers for Stake Pulse Beat II after a loss to the Ukrainian mix Team NT with a score of 13:16. This marks the team's second consecutive elimination in the qualifiers — previously, BC.Game also failed to advance past the first qualification round.

The organizers held two separate open qualifiers on August 20 and 21. Each offered the winner a spot in the main tournament in Sweden .

Second Attempt Ends in Defeat to Team NT

In the second open qualifier, BC.Game reached the decisive stages, where they faced Team NT — a mix featuring the Ukrainian player Woro2k .

The match ended in favor of the Ukrainian mix — 16:13.

Thus, BC.Game once again found themselves just a step away from continuing the fight for a slot. The team couldn't capitalize on their second chance and ultimately concluded their performance in the open qualifiers.

BC.Game Also Failed in the First Qualifier

The day before, the team had already had a chance to qualify for Stake Pulse Beat II, but their performance ended in yet another disappointment.

In the first open qualifier, BC.Game lost to QUAZAR.GG with a score of 9:13 on Mirage. Before the match, BC.Game was ranked 47th in the VRS, while QUAZAR was in 90th place.

Therefore, the team couldn't advance through either of the two open qualifiers, despite having two chances to secure a spot in the lan tournament.

What's Next for BC.Game?

Stake Pulse Beat II will take place from September 21–26 in Stockholm, with a total prize pool of $60,000. Two slots were contested through the open qualifiers.

For BC.Game, the next opportunity to return to the competition for a major tournament will be the open qualifiers for IEM China 2026, scheduled for August 23–24. The organization had previously announced this tournament in their upcoming calendar.

This is an unfortunate result for BC.Game, especially considering the team had two attempts to qualify. In the first qualifier, they lost to a team ranked lower in the VRS, and in the second, they couldn't overcome the Woro2k mix.

Now BC.Game has only one quick opportunity to turn things around — the qualification for IEM China 2026, which starts in just a few days. If the team fails to qualify again, their schedule for the near future will become significantly less busy.
