BCGame among four teams forced to change name for Singapore Major

BCGame Esports, featuring star aussie Tyson "asap" Paterson, will play under a different moniker as part of the crackdown on gambling advertising at November's PGL Singapore Major.

Singapore's strict betting company licensing requires countries to register for a gambling license in the country — something that the likes of BCGame, PARIVISION, 1win, and BetBoom do not possess.

As a result, they'll all play under different names; BCGame will be known as GOSH for the major — the team signed GOSH, a live-streaming and video site, as a major sponsor last week.

1win will play as "THE ONE", whilst also sporting a similar logo that looks not too dissimilar to the Titan logo of old. BetBoom (BB Team) and PARIVISION (PVISION) will use monikers we've recently seen represent the organisation in both Counter-Strike and Dota 2 in similar countries with restrictions on gambling advertising.

Full team lists revealed for Singapore Major; BnTeT to stand in for GOSH

With the team name swaps locked in, we also saw a confirmation of the team lists for the Singapore Major — and there's a surprise name amongst the Asia VRS representatives.

Hansel "BnTeT" Ferdinand has been listed as a sub for GOSH (BCGame), and while it's unlikely he'll be needed to suit up on the server, his name is sure to shock many fans both at home and abroad.

BnTeT was last spotted playing for Alter Ego before stepping back and taking time off for his wedding and honeymoon.

It was unclear whether he had actually left the Alter Ego squad; he is no longer listed as a player for AE on HLTV, but there has been no official communication of his departure.

Otherwise, there were no other changes with our Asia VRS reps as far as substitutes go; coaches Aaron "AZR" Ward (FlyQuest) Dai "GUM" Yifei (Lynn Vision), Munkh-Ochir "Redka" Myagmarsuren (Chinggis Warriors), and Erdenedalai "maaRaa" Bayanbat (The MongolZ) have all been named as their team's backups.
