I agree, they had the GOAT rifler XANTARES and a top 10 player in syrsoN

wdym "flair" aleksib he is the finnish player but the nip he is the swedish stars. also i dont think they legitimately believe that big 2020 was the best team cs has ever seen, we usually call statements like that "jokes"

2023-02-02 01:01

if k1to plays like prime dupreeh they are good, but if he plays his average game BIG lack firepower to challenge true tier 1 teams

but with latency advantage in favor of BIG, since all servers stays in germany plus playing online = no pressure compared to offline in a stage, if you are a real competitor you know thats a BIG difference (hahaha xD)

Still my point Everyone who watched that big, knows xantares was a pillar, such as when he leaves to play with their turkish friends big cant stay at t1

K1to one in a million series Dont get fooled

But it's not just k1to. faveN & Krimbo have been looking sharp as of late. I regret not choosing one of them in my Fantasy.

2023-02-01 22:23

The grenades have always been good, tabsen is one of the best in the world at lineups. They lack a bit in the firepower department.

Just remembered that from HLTV stats now that you point it out. Really though, watching that Ancient round vs Heroic in BLAST Spring where Krimbo & syrsoN were in a 2v2 and syrsoN faked running into A site from donut with the bomb only for Krimbo to catch one of the Heroic players off guard in CT was when I realized that I was watching a different BIG. It may have looked simple to the viewers, but it was coordinated to perfection.

2023-02-01 22:31

Yes the individuals have been the problem all across 2022 and before. Sometimes syrsoN pops off, sometimes tabseN does, then sprinkle in some nice Krimbo clutches and now some K1to moments. But rarely do we see more than 2 players feeling it. I hope they can regain some of their confidence and reach playoffs in Kato

2023-02-02 00:56

an example of a team that stuck together and are punching well above their weight if they had the pieces of many of the top teams with this system, they'd win everything

2023-02-01 22:14

also good nuke vs. Liquid (16-2) and mirage they said they prepared vertigo for liquid so I assume they have that aswell to an extent But I mean, if they want to reach top ranks they have to be more consistent vs. top teams aswell, not fall off completely in some games like they like to do...

2023-02-02 00:59

Gradually Big is learning and consolidating itself on the maps. They have already shown a big advance in aiming but they need to be consistent, there are games where 1 of them kills 30 and on the other map that same player doesn't kill 10. We just need to improve consistency. This is a great start to the year for them, hope they keep it that way

2023-02-02 22:06

They always have a period where they look strong and then they just disappear for rest of the year. Let’s see if they do different this time

2023-02-01 22:26

1 reply

exactly... but it has to be mentioned aswell, that the constant roster shuffles the last 2 quarters of 2022 weren't exactly providing stability to that at least they can gain some XP with their core for some officials now

2023-02-02 01:01

K1to became him suddenly

2023-02-01 22:26

1 or 2 deep runs maybe even at Cologne and I'd be so happy as German fan

I don’t really care how Katowice turns out but I wanna see them going on a rampage in Cologne when I‘m there. Hope they finally get their consistent top10 spot back this year and MAYBE get a chance for a final. /copium off

BIG have officially passed the unstable roster curse to NIP after their match at blast and they are now free to thrive BIG ERA 2023 CONFIRMED

2023-02-01 22:33

you gonna be disappointed then because they will almost certainly not win anything of importance

2023-02-02 01:03

BIG is a very good team in terms of counter-strats, I don't think any other team can prepare as well for their opponents, hence why they are doing as good when they are able to prepare for their bracket

2023-02-02 00:36

1 reply

Their strength is preparation, which is why they got no 1 when Corona came. They had lots of time like everyone else. Combine this with typical German high efficiency practice routines. And you got a team who rose to the top, but only until the other teams evolved as well.

havu vs big cologne finals ????

2023-02-02 00:43

If you think that one game means anything then you dont know big very well lol. They always have this performance in them, but it's inconsistent as fuck. Wait until they show more, and then maybe you can get hyped

2023-02-02 00:46

imagine having a good igl who is decent at fragging and having tabseN back in his role just as a rifler.

2023-02-02 00:50

I think he needs to revalue his IGL skills. It's not calla which makes them thrive, it's well drilled routines. He once put himself as IGL for his dream team in some YouTube video....

2023-02-02 01:15

They always do this; they have a great game to start the season, but then they gradually lose steam. sort of a curse i guess
