Could you recommend me any BL mangas where:
- Two guys [love rivals] fight for one guy, of course they dislike/hate each other but in the end they are together?
So far, I have found:
- Rival ni Ki wo Tsukero by YAMAKAMI RIYU
- Renai Kyoutei Nukegake Nashi! by SAKURAGI Yaya -> Thanks wolf_unknown for reminding me about it^^
- Harenchi no Susume by HIGASHINO You -> yeah, they don't hate each other but still, you get the point? These kind of relationship is still ok^^
- Two guys are rivaling/challenging with each other [it may be job, school or sth else], like:
- Aisaretaino by YAMAKAMI RIYU
- Kichiku Megane by MISASAGI Fuhri
- Revenge! by ROKUYA Sanae
- Koi wa Ichiya ni Shite Narazu by KAMO Nabako
- Hate To Love You by Makoto Tateno -> I tried it, but somehow I don't like it
Nah, I just like all these hate/love relationship!^^ Aren't they more exciting than these typical ones? xD Thanks in advance!

Haru Wo Daite Ita is an obvious suggestion, maybe, but they ARE professional rivals at first. Same goes for Boku no Koe, except the rivalry continues a lot longer. Umaimon Kuwasero too. All are by Youka Nitta, who obviously likes romantic rivalries. Lol.
Restart has competing models, or at least one of them is competitive with the other...
Shortcut Love has competing executives falling in lust/love.
Usagi to Ookami no Shinshi Kyoutei has competing office workers who fall in love.
Relationship is a really cute one-shot about very competitive guys who even take their competition into the bedroom. Lol.

I read all Youka Nitta works but somehow I don't like her stories, just not my cup of tea^^
Thanks a lot for other suggestions, will try them

It's a oneshot and it's leaning towards the WHAT THE spectrum of BL, but you might want to try 50x50 by Kunieda Saika.
Edit: Just recently got recommended to me, Get the Moon is also something like that.
From that same author (heck, the plot is kinda similar too) you can also read KirePapa. It's been made to an anime as well ^_^

For #1, I recommend Mukizu ja Irarenee. Both rivals are involved (or have been involved) with one guy but end up having a covert relationship.

A lot of Makoto Tateno's work is like that.
Try Romeo x Romeo and Kirai Kiraimo. Check out some of her other work too, I think there are more that has that kind of tone. (Hero Heel, another of her work I just rememberered)
