Rumors: syrsoN has decided to leave BIG

According to the Dexerto portal, the German esports organization BIG is preparing for changes in its CS:GO roster. It is reported that syrsoN has decided to leave the team after failing at IEM Katowice 2023. The 26-year-old German sniper will be benched and will not take part in the upcoming closed qualifiers for IEM Brazil 2023.

syrsoN joined the BIG roster in early 2020, having moved from the Sprout camp. For three years, the 26-year-old German sniper helped the team win DreamHack Open Leipzig 2020, DreamHack Masters Spring 2020: Europe, cs_summit 6 Online: Europe, DreamHack Open Summer 2020: Europe, Funspark ULTI 2020 and Roobet Cup 2022.

In addition, together with the team, he made it to the top three at ESL Meisterschaft: Spring 2020, BLAST Premier: Fall 2020, Intel Extreme Masters XV - Global Challenge, DreamHack Open January 2021: Europe, DreamHack Open November 2021, PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR A, Intel Extreme Masters XVII - Dallas and Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022, and also took part in PGL Major Stockholm 2021 (17-19th place), PGL Major Antwerp 2022 (12-14th place) and Intel Extreme Masters Rio Major 2022 (9th-11th place).

syrsoN's contract with the organization runs until the end of 2023. The sniper is expected to leave the team's starting lineup and look for a new home while waiting for a decent ransom that BIG will ask for.

The changes will take effect today, February 8, as the German team will take part in the closed qualifiers for IEM Brazil 2023. According to sources, syrsoN will miss the qualifiers, and it is not known who will take a place in the roster in the upcoming matches. Given the fact that BIG has a busy schedule ahead of big tournaments, the team will have to seriously consider replacing their sniper.

It is likely that the club will turn to hyped, a young player from their academy, for help. Together with him, the team will play in the upcoming qualifier and, possibly, at ESL Pro League Season 17.

Estimated composition of BIG in CS:GO discipline:

• tabseN
• faveN
• Crimbo
• hyped
• k1to
• gob b (head coach)
