BIG crush EnVyUs, book last Main Qualifier spot

18-6-2017 10:37

BIG have secured the last spot at the PGL Major's Main Qualifier after decimating EnVyUs 2-0 (Cobblestone 16-4, Overpass 16-6) in the Europe Minor's lower bracket final.

Kevin "⁠keev⁠" Bartholomäus kicked off the match for the last spot at the Main Qualifier with a quad-kill in the pistol round, with BIG starting on the CT side of Cobblestone. After Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy and Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom each put up two entries in the following two rounds, the score was soon equal at 3-3.

From there on, the half was firmly in the hands of the German squad, whose keev proceeded to get another highlight reel with an ace on A long, and BIG eventually conceded only one more round for a dominant 11-4 half.

Envy never recovered on their own CT side, losing the second pistol round and forcebuying again and again afterwards, which allowed BIG to pick up map one at 16-4.

On Overpass, it was Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz who gave BIG the pistol round on the Terrorist side with four kills, as the German side got off to an amazing start.

It took Envy eight rounds to reply, with ScreaM opening up the round with two AWP kills, while Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia pitched in by getting a double in a 2v2 for two rounds in a row.

BIG still switched over with a marvellous half, leading 11-4 right after Envy picked up two more rounds at the very end on the back of Alexandre "⁠xms⁠" Forté's 1v3 clutch.

Fatih "⁠gob b⁠" Dayik and company once again took little to finish things off, picking the Frenchmen apart in the second pistol round and surviving the following forcebuy by the skin of their teeth. Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer's squad clinched two rounds up against match point, but that was all she wrote as BIG closed the series with a 3v3 retake at 16-6.

Major without Happy RIP

To be fair there is no way they would have qualifyed for the actual major playing like that so it would have been a major without him most likely anyway.

2017-06-18 11:09

first major without Happy... im so Sad ;(

2017-06-18 11:36

Imagine how sad he must be, no more glory for him.

What happened to EnvyUs? They looked so promising at the ESL Pro League finals and then they come to the minor qualifier and they completely shit the bed. They were awful all tournament long. So disappointing considering the talent they possess. As for BIG, God TabseN top fragging again.

2017-06-18 10:49

They have no synergy nor any tactics. The same 2 year old lurk/bait while the team has no strats to work of. Its 2017, adapt to the meta or get out and stay in the dumpster. No way this team stays like this...

lose to TIER4 envy is done ohhhh they are since 2015 EleGiggle

2017-06-18 10:59

Envy is a team of leftovers no one wants to play with. Of course they suck.

Well done BIG! TabseN what a god

Light a candle for ScreaM fanboys [*] Never ever to play in a major again.

2017-06-18 11:43

Did not have many good words for gob b in past, but he played way above his (low) standards this tournament so far. I still dont believe they are capable to play even close to this vs T1 teams though :|

2017-06-18 11:45

Who does lose to NV cmon now really???

2017-06-18 11:53

The thing I like about BiG is that they are just consistenly improving. Other lower tier teams have a good showing here and there but overall stay at the same level

2017-06-18 12:06

penta is lower team but they are not consistenly improving?lul

2017-06-18 12:52

Really nice by big. Now just kick nex and legija and they might become a really good team

2017-06-18 12:15

I hope they manage to upset some teams at the qualifier

2017-06-18 12:16

ScreaM showing once again that he got off his poor form, 19 impact kills and 0.70 rating. Bahahahaha

2017-06-18 12:54

Rofl Favourites.

This major we are guaranteed to get some cool stickers : D not like at last major quals where there were like almost 6 fixed teams to qualify.

2017-06-18 13:55

Gob b has done a great job creating big. Everyone said two weeks max etc and now we see big not only qualifying for events but they also play good and structured counter strike. Nrg must hit their heads right now

2017-06-18 14:00

god b best igl >

2017-06-18 14:34

yeeez

that's impressive the old schooler gob b found a way to show such nice results lately...

hello darkness my old friend

2017-06-18 18:36

God damn it nV :/ Why? Happy wasn't in a good day again? They've got so much potential and they've shown it against SK, IMT, and C9. But this... BIG is a great team. But they had two chances to beat Premier Teams and they got crushed 2 times. With LDLC we could've gotten more than 3 french teams in the Major qualifier... If LDLC would've won this last match against Dignitas, we would have at least one french team qualified. We have NONE.
