S1mple’s and electroNic’s Portuguese spiced team BC.Bame, enters IEM Kraków 2026 as a volatile but dangerous underdog.
We haven’t seen a whole lot of them yet, but what we have seen has been disappointing. The lineup has played only 5 maps in the past 30 days. They lost their both teams against lower tier and ranked opponents, Ursa and Nemesis.
🔍 Opening Match vs Legacy
BC.Game still have some pieces to produce upsets. Their raw talent gives them upset potential — especially in early matches before their opposition can adjust. Their opening match against Legacy is a critical test and speaks volumes if we can expect anything out of this new s1imple’s team. Blowout loss, and we’ll gonna put all the chips against them in the lower bracket clash.
Legacy are solid #20 ranked Brazilian CS2 team. Their key players late and dumau could roll over the volatile BC.Game. s1mple needs a really good start in the early rounds to boost their confidence and get the ball running in right direction.
We don’t believe BC.Game are ready for this IEM Krakow yet. But there is a chance that they could surprise one team in Poland before heading home.
Betting Value: Why We’re Backing BC.Game
BC.Game are offered huge 2.75 odds in the Legacy match up. Before starting to write up this article, I was sure we are going against BC because of the s1mple hype. But these odds are too good to miss out on. The esports bookies might undervalue them. You can’t make a value bet out of Legacy 1.40 CS2 odds.
To summarize, BC Game disappointed in IEM Rio qualies. But there for sure was things to clean up and fix in the practice before this tournament. The Portuguese are able to put up numbers too. We calculate BC.Games winning probability as 37 percent, which makes our CS2 Betting Pick a huge value bet.
After the game we are wiser about the team. But in the first match, we are hopping to the s1mple bandwagon. Backed by our sophisticated roster data. If s1mple hits his legendary form early, they become one of the most dangerous lower-seeded teams in the Play-In.
