The Mighty Lossie Phantoms Soar from Chaos to Comeback in BFBS Pro League Week One

Report by: Dean Bowditch

Now then, let me set the scene. The lights are bright. The cars are rocket-propelled. The comms are just the right side of chaotic. It’s the BFBS Pro League 2025 and into this beautifully absurd, turbo-charged theatre of military esports drop our unlikely Station heroes: The Mighty Lossie Phantoms.

Now, this isn’t some plucky underdog tale where we all pretend not to notice the early losses. No — this is an actual tale of grit, of learning on the fly, and of a team that remembered mid-evening that they are, in fact, quite good at this.

Assembled with the kind of precision normally reserved for Ops briefs and last-minute Thursday night shift Mario's runs, the squad featured:

• AS1(T) Ryan Beesla (@beeslaryan) – Captain, fast, fearless, and occasionally upside down

• AS1(T) Lucas Cod (@SeanDyche) – tactical, tidy, terrifying when caffeinated

• AS1(T) Anthony Kariuki (@Karis808) – part mechanic, part magician, all vibes

 A Night of Two Halves (and One Traitor)

The Lossie Phantoms opened against the RAF Tempests, who brought a tactical surprise: one of their former teammates (Cobie), now in enemy colours. Some say he defected for better ping. Others claim snacks were involved. Whatever the reason, it added a pinch of betrayal to a 2–0 result that didn’t go the Phantoms' way.

Next came the Falcons and Royal Navy Orcas, (yes, Orcas. Because the Royal Navy sat down one day and asked ‘what’s the most majestic yet terrifying sea mammal we can name ourselves after?” and then stuck with it) both solid teams with the kind of rotation discipline usually found in aircraft hangars. The results? 0–2 and 0–2. The mood? Bruised, but never beaten.

But Then… Lift-Off

In true military fashion, the Phantoms regrouped, recalibrated, and decided they weren’t here to make up the numbers. Against Foxes, they snapped the streak — 2–1 — with calculated plays and the kind of cross-map demos that make casters shout.

And then? Well, then came the show. The final match of the evening, live on the BFBS stream, saw them face the Las Pollos Hermanos, a Navy side with swagger. The Phantoms didn’t just win — they put on a show. Air dribbles, precise passing, and a 2–0 scoreline that felt like a mic drop. The Royal Navy had brought flair. The mighty Lossie Phantoms brought closure.

Week One Debrief

•  RAF Tempests 2–0 Lossie Phantoms (feat. one turncoat)

•  Falcons 2–0 Lossie Phantoms (wings clipped)

•  RN Orcas 2–0 Lossie Phantoms (splash damage)

•  Foxes 1–2 Lossie Phantoms (bite back begins)

•  Las Pollos Hermanos 0–2 Lossie Phantoms (streamed. styled. sealed.)

The Word from the Wing

“We knew it’d be a tough start,” said AS1(T) Beesla, staring calmly into the middle distance like a man who’s just calculated orbital velocity with a fidget spinner.
“But the second half of the night? That’s what this team’s about — adjusting, adapting, and executing.”

There’s something electric about watching a team find themselves mid-tournament. Something better still about watching them do it with cheeky demos and goal-line saves that defy physics.

The Phantoms Are Here Now

One week down. Seven to go. If this is the shape of things to come, opponents better bring more than fancy decals and a kickoff cheat sheet. The Mighty Lossie Phantoms are in this fight, and judging by that final match — they’re only just getting started.

They may have entered the arena as underdogs, but they’re leaving Week One as contenders. And frankly? We love to see it.
