The team is probably the <strong>big favorite<\/strong> and one level above the rest, even though it has yet to achieve a big win in 2026. In fact, the team only has one major tournament in 2025: BLAST Open Fall 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HEROIC<\/strong> is another of the CS2 teams that people will be looking forward to at BC.Game Masters Championship. It\u2019s been <strong>a while since the team achieved something<\/strong> after winning the MESA Nomadic Masters Spring 2025, so we\u2019ll keep an eye on its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, we have<strong> SINNERS Esports<\/strong>. Although this is a Tier 2 team, the squad<strong> already secured an important victory<\/strong> at the CCT Season 3 European Series #13 in 2026. The team will definitely want to continue its good streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s interesting is that the <strong>BC.Game Masters Championship does not include BC.Game Esports<\/strong>. This is the organizer\u2019s own CS2 team that features Oleksandr \u201cs1mple\u201d Kostyliev, among several other big names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BC.Game Masters Championship Group Stage&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/bcgamemasters\/status\/2031718340897411343?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the tournament begins on March 24, we already know each Group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Group A:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fnatic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MOUZ NXT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nexus Gaming<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aimclub<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Group B:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Passion UA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BESTIA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tricked Esport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BASEMENT BOYS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Group C:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ECSTATIC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CYBERSHOKE Esports<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eternal Fire<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HYPERSPIRIT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Group D:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>9INE<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inner Circle Esports<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infinite Talent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the playtoff, all of the High Seed teams are already waiting for their opponents.
