BIG coach: "tabseN needs a helper. That's why k1to is with us"

gob b, coach of BIG, shared his thoughts on the latest line-up changes. According to the 35-year-old German specialist, k1to was necessary for the team to reduce the load on the captain and help build the team's game.

We felt that this would help us move to the next stage in development. Sometimes we need a second captain. During the period when k1to played at the academy and was an in-game leader there, he learned a lot about CS:GO. This impressed us, after which it was decided to replace. We think tabseN needs a helper. That's why k1to is with us. tabseN is forced to talk a lot, because of which he often loses concentration. Now that Nils is back on the team, he brings different ideas and points out different issues. This makes the composition more stable. Also, don't underestimate its firepower. Now BIG can become a stronger team.

Recall that before the start of the second half of the 2022 season, the BIG organization made changes to the CS:GO roster, transferring tiziaN to inactive. His place in the starting lineup was taken by k1to, who spent the last months with the club's youth team.

The BIG team has already started within the framework of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. According to the results of the group stage, the German team took third place in Group C, having beaten Evil Geniuses, but lost twice to the Danes from Heroic. Now gob b's wards are preparing for the start of the Play-In stage, where they will meet with G2 Esports.

BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 takes place from 19 to 28 August in Copenhagen. As part of the championship, twelve partner teams from Europe, the CIS and North America are fighting for a prize pool of $177,498, rating points, and six tickets to BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022.

The current BIG CS:GO roster is as follows:

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