Valve grant BC.Game Asia exception for Singapore Major after CEO offers "take all our points away" fresh start — Sashi and WW rejected

One day after announcing a 3-month lookback on VRS region swaps, Valve granted BC.Game (asap, Magisk, mzinho, s1mple, Senzu) an exception for Asia qualification. CEO Ali "Ako" Muhanned had offered a VRS reset: "We're willing to give away everything we have earned" — asking Valve to treat the lineup as a brand new team and let their next 3 weeks of results count. Sashi (citizenship irregularities) and WW initially rejected under the same rule.

Valve tighten VRS region-swap rules: 3-month lookback — BC.Game, Sashi, WW face DQ from Singapore Major unless they "find a solution"

Valve: "A roster is only eligible for a Regional Assignment if they did not appear in any other region's VRS list in the preceding three calendar months." Rule effective for Singapore Major (3 months before Major invites are distributed). Teams who already swapped — BC.Game (asap signing), Sashi (Hatz + TjP), WW — "are disqualified from the Major run, unless they reach out and find a solution." Community sharply split: some celebrate anti-abuse move, others cite retroactive application.
