Valve has made BC.Game eligible to receive a PGL Major Singapore invitation through Asia, granting the Counter-Strike 2 roster an exception to its regional eligibility rule. The updated tournament operation exceptions list assigns asap, Magisk, mzinho, s1mple and Senzu to Asia and marks them eligible for a Major invitation.
Valve’s three-month VRS eligibility rule bars a roster from receiving a Regional Assignment if it appeared on another region’s VRS list during the preceding three calendar months. BC.Game’s recent VRS listing elsewhere prevented it from qualifying for an Asia assignment under the standard rule, so the exception clears a route through Asia.
BC.Game publicly appealed on October 7, offering to surrender all its VRS points and start again from zero. Valve’s exception instead preserved the roster’s existing standing while restoring its Asia assignment.

The ruling makes BC.Game eligible for an invitation, but does not itself confirm that an invitation has been issued.
