BC.Game's $500K 2026 CS2 Circuit Includes Two Female Tournaments
Crypto esports bookie and CS2 team owners BC.Game have announced a sizable investment in the professional Counter-Strike scene. On March 20, the betting company revealed a series of 11 tournaments throughout 2026, with $500,000 up for grabs. Here are all the details on BC.Game’s CS2 tournaments announced.
$500,000 BC.Game Roadmap Revealed
BC.Game, known for having paid
big bucks to sign s1mple to their CS2 roster, is looking to give back to the community. The org announced
11 tournaments across 2026, primarily aimed at supporting the lower-tier scene.
Tournaments are lined up for each remaining quarter of 2026, with an
EU Final LAN event
and
Asia Finals LAN event
lined up to close out the year. These two tournaments make up a total of 60% of their entire $500,000 allocated prize pools.

Support for the Female CS2 Scene
The biggest news is the
inclusion of two female CS2 tournaments, each with $25,000 up for grabs.
It’s no secret the women’s CS2 scene has been struggling lately.
ESL Impact
was discontinued in November 2025, meaning female players no longer have a sustainable way to compete. Organizations also began pulling out, forcing female players to compete without proper sponsors or backing.
Earlier this month, the BC.Game X account published a post saying that if their page reached a 5,000-follower goal, they would announce female tournaments, writing “Support the scene → we invest in the scene.”

Though they’re still roughly 2,000 followers away from the goal,
BC.Game still went ahead
and announced the two tournaments.
While two tournaments in a year is a far cry from what the ESL Impact circuit used to offer, it is still a much-appreciated gesture from the
esports betting site
to provide some financial backing to the declining scene.
A Much Needed Boost for Lower-Tier Counter-Strike
It really feels like BC.Game’s roadmap intentionally targeted the weaker scenes in the Counter-Strike esports ecosystem.
On top of female tournaments, BC.Game will also host events in the Asian region, which is another scene that hasn’t received much love. Aside from teams like The MongolZ, Lynn Vision, TYLOO, or FlyQuest, the rest of the Asian scene has been overlooked.
We can’t expect the
best CS2 teams
to sign up for BC.Game’s tournaments. We’ll most likely see newer faces competing in these events. It’s more about supporting the Tier 2/3 Counter-Strike scenes, which is something everyone in the community can appreciate.
