Four Teams Change Their Names for the Singapore Major: GOSH, THE ONE, BB Team and PVISION
Four CS2 teams will play the PGL Major Singapore under different names because of local advertising rules. Here are the new names and why it happened.
In short
- Four teams with sponsor names in their brand play the Singapore Major under new names.
- The changes follow Singapore's restrictions on unlicensed gambling advertising.
- The lineups do not change — only the name, and for some teams the logo.
- The new names are also used for the Major stickers.
If you open the Singapore Major bracket and can’t find s1mple’s team, look for GOSH. On November 9, PGL revealed the official names and logos of all 32 teams, and four of them play under new names.
The new names
| Usual name | Name at the Major | Starts in |
|---|---|---|
| BC.Game Esports | GOSH | Stage 1 |
| 1win Team | THE ONE | Stage 2 |
| BetBoom Team | BB Team | Stage 3 |
| PARIVISION | PVISION | Stage 1 |
Why it happened
The four organisations carry the names of sponsors that do not hold a gambling licence in Singapore, and the city-state restricts that kind of advertising. PGL therefore asked all teams with such names or logos to change their names, logos and Major stickers for this event.
This is not new for these teams. BetBoom already played as BB Team at IEM Beijing 2026, and several of them used other names at Dota 2’s The International 2026 in Shanghai.
What it means for you
- Watching the broadcast: the scoreboard, bracket and overlays use the new names.
- Major stickers: the stickers for these teams also carry the new names and logos.
- On ClutchHub: our Major overview and daily recaps use the official Major names, so the bracket matches what you see on stream.
GOSH and PVISION have the longest road: both start in Stage 1 on November 24 and need three wins before three losses to reach Stage 2. Read also: all four stand-ins confirmed in the roster lock.

FAQ
Why is s1mple's team called GOSH at the Major?
BC.Game, s1mple's team, had to use a different name in Singapore. They chose GOSH, the name of a live-streaming platform. The players are the same: s1mple, Senzu, Magisk, mzinho and asap.
Do the renamed teams have different players?
No. Only the name changes, and for some teams also the logo. Rosters stay exactly the same.
Has this happened before?
Yes. Some of these teams already used other names at events in China and at Dota 2's The International 2026 for the same reason.
