BC.Game will play IEM Dallas with Perfecto as a stand-in, the organization has announced.

He will take Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad's place on the lineup after the Norwegian was moved to the inactive roster on Friday following accusations of owing upwards of $300,000 in gambling debt to several parties.

BC.Game bench jkaem following accusations of him owing $300,000 in gambling debt

It will be Perfecto's first Big Event and tier-one LAN since IEM Chengdu with Cloud9 in April 2024.

He was moved to the bench two weeks later and remained inactive for nearly a year while the rest of the organization's roster fell apart, and was held back from moving to a new team due to a large buyout and few desirable opportunities coming up.

Perfecto played his first officials in 10 months at BetBoom LanDaLan in February, where his EGOISTO mix placed second to Spirit Academy, and also advanced through the fourth PGL Bucharest open qualifier with Roler Coaster before getting bounced from the closed stage in last place.

In the 24 HLTV-recorded maps he's played in 2025, Perfecto averaged a 1.14 rating and a 1.06 impact rating, the former being higher than jkaem's (1.09 rating) and the latter being far lower (1.22 impact rating).

For IEM Dallas, BC.Game will have:

Luca "⁠pr1metapz⁠" Voigt
Tim "⁠nawwk⁠" Jonasson
Cai "⁠CYPHER⁠" Watson
Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković
Ilya "⁠Perfecto⁠" Zalutskiy

Benjamin "⁠cube⁠" Stabell (coach)
