BC.Game bench electronic

BC.Game have officially moved Denis "electroNic" Sharipov to the bench, bringing an end to the Russian veteran's time in the team's active lineup. According to sources cited by HLTV, Australian player Tyson "ASAP" Paterson is expected to take his place.

BC.Game announced the decision on Tuesday, thanking electroNic for his contribution to the team and praising his professionalism during his time with the organization.

electroNic joined BC.Game in October 2025 after leaving Virtus.pro, taking on the role of in-game leader and becoming one of the most experienced players on the roster. The Russian previously enjoyed a highly successful career with Natus Vincere, most notably winning PGL Major Stockholm 2021 with the Ukrainian organization.

His time with BC.Game, however, did not produce the results the organization was looking for, and the team has now decided to make another change to its lineup.

According to HLTV's sources, BC.Game are in talks with Tyson "ASAP" Paterson, who currently plays for Australian side Thunder dOWNUNDER. The 23-year-old would join the team as electroNic's replacement if the move goes through.

The potential addition of ASAP could also have implications beyond the roster itself. BC.Game are currently competing in the European Valve Regional Standings, but a move to the Asian region would give the organization a significantly stronger position in the VRS race.

BC.Game currently sit 36th in the European VRS with 1,191 points. That same number of points would place them fourth in the Asian standings, where the top five teams are set to receive direct invitations to the PGL Major Singapore.

For now, BC.Game have only officially confirmed electroNic's move to the bench, while ASAP's arrival remains unconfirmed and is based on HLTV's sources. If the move is completed, it would mark another significant change for BC.Game as the organization looks to improve its position ahead of the upcoming Major cycle.
