BanKs slams BC.Game’s last-minute Asia switch before PGL Major Singapore AI

James “BanKs” Banks criticised BC.Game’s decision to change its regional registration from Europe to Asia roughly a month before invites for the PGL Major Singapore 2026. Sport.ua reports BanKs said the timing, not playing in Asia, is what bothered him. Kyiv CS2 fans tracking invite lists and roster moves should note region switches can alter which teams qualify for major events and invite slots.

James “BanKs” Banks, a well-known CS2 host and interviewer, expressed frustration after BC.Game changed its registered region from Europe to Asia shortly before invites for the PGL Major Singapore 2026. Sport.ua published his remarks on 30 September 2026.

BanKs said he has no issue with BC.Game competing in Asia per se, but criticised the timing: the move came about a month before invite decisions, which he implies was intended to affect their eligibility. Sport.ua links the change to the recent signing of Tyson “asap” Patterson, whose arrival officially reclassifies BC.Game’s roster as Asian rather than European.

The report cites a YouTube source for BanKs’ comments. Kyiv esports followers should watch roster and region announcements closely, since such late changes can reshape major-event invite lists.
