What is BCS?

Blitz Combat Score is a metric we are developing and following in the game that measures a player's overall performance in a match. It takes into account various actions and achievements during a game to provide a numerical representation of a player's contribution. It primarily takes ACS into consideration which is calculated based on factors such as kills, deaths, assists, spike plants, spike defusals, and other in-game actions and adds some other factors along with it. It's a comprehensive way to evaluate a player's impact beyond just the number of kills they secure.
