Roman R. became the head of BIG in CS: GO

German esports organization BIG announced the appointment of Roman R. to the position of head of the CS: GO discipline division. The 38-year-old German will oversee the team, working closely with the coaching staff and players to consistently achieve goals. In addition, Roman R. will directly lead BIG Academy, helping to develop young talents.

Roman R himself commented on his appointment:

I have always been in close contact with my friend and mentor Yilmaz Ozan after my playing career ended long ago. As the founder of mousesports, Yilmaz already entrusted me with the sporting successes of the Counter-Strike team, and we were able to celebrate a long history of success together. Therefore, I am very glad that I can now take up my passion for esports again after my long career as a professional player. At BIG, I initially founded and developed the merchandise department together with Andreas Wolny. However, one of my main directions was working with the CS team. Today, together with Christian Lenz, I manage all processes as the head of the CS: GO department and am responsible for the development of this department, including our academy.

Looking ahead, I am confident that we will continue to grow at a rapid pace together as a team and that we can celebrate many more fantastic moments.

Roman R. is a legend of the German scene. Having started his esports career in 2003, the 38-year-old German managed to play for such teams as mousesports, a-Losers and Team ALTERNATE. During his nine-year career, Roman R. earned over $ 60,000 in prize money (taking into account the development of e-sports at the beginning of the 2000s and inflation - a cosmic sum), and also became the winner of EPS Germany Season I, EPS Germany Season III, EPS Germany Season V, CPL Spain 2005, ClanBase EuroCup XI, EPS Germany Season VII, ClanBase EuroCup XII and EPS Germany Season IX.

As a reminder, BIG recently signed a contract with faveN. Rumor has it that Sprout's esports transfer has become the most expensive in the history of the German scene.
