Krimbo to miss remaining Pinnacle Cup Championship matches

10-6-2022 18:03

The German player is out for the remainder of the tournament after testing positive for Covid-19.

BIG has announced that the team's youngster, Karim "⁠Krimbo⁠" Moussa, has tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss the final matches of the Pinnacle Cup Championship.

Taking the 19-year-old's place will be former BIG and current BIG Academy rifler Nils "⁠k1to⁠" Gruhne, who flew in on short notice to start for the main roster.

Krimbo will have to sit out the remainder of the tournament

This will be k1to's first matches with BIG since standing in for Josef "⁠faveN⁠" Baumann during the IEM Dallas Closed Qualifier, already after being replaced by Krimbo from the main squad earlier in the year. He will feature in the upper-bracket final against Astralis at 20:00 , after which BIG will move on to the grand final or consolidation final on Saturday.

BIG are also scheduled to fly to Lisbon after the tournament in Lund to compete at the BLAST Premier Spring Final, which starts on Wednesday, June 15, giving the youngster a short recovery time.

BIG will play the remainder of the PCC with:

Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz
Tizian "⁠tiziaN⁠" Feldbusch
Florian "⁠syrsoN⁠" Rische
Josef "⁠faveN⁠" Baumann
Nils "⁠k1to⁠" Gruhne (stand-in)

Fatih "⁠gob b⁠" Dayik (coach)

Stand in era

2022-06-10 18:08

Rip my fantasy lol

OMG he's in my Blast fantasy, FUUUC

+1 rip

2022-06-10 18:59

-Tizian +K1to, cmon... Tizian has 0.92 rating and is not even an IGL.

Tabsen is a fragginf IGL. Tizian is dropping all the stuff to other players and plays shit positions which usually IGLs do, that's why his rating is so low. He's important to the team (and mentality) and won't get dropped. Accept it

2022-06-10 18:34

this. some dont understand how teams work from inside cause they never played in a team

2022-06-10 20:31

heroic astralis final because of this??

They can beat astralis with 4 players already

2022-06-10 18:09

KITO IS BETTER

Still dont get why k1to ends up in academy team while Tizian is still in the roster.

2022-06-10 18:12

Not that big of a difference firepower wise imo but Krimbo helps Tabsen with the calling so there's that. Fast recovery for Mr. Karim while welcome back Kito!

k1to surely be jetlagged, advantage Astralis!

2022-06-10 18:14

? that makes no sense lol that flight is short af

2022-06-10 19:47

yeah nvm still could be rusty and no motivation

2022-06-10 19:55

Testing positive =/= Having covid

testing positive but potentially not actually being positive =/= no problemo just stay who cares about following the rules that are based on science that says the false positive rate of test is extremely low

2022-06-10 18:20

"Based on science" lol. John Bohannon exposed the fraudulent peer review process that we thought of as the gold standard in the scientific community. Between January and August 2013, Bohannon submitted fake scientific papers to 304 journals owned by fee-charging open access publishers. The papers, writes Bohannon, "were designed with such grave and obvious scientific flaws that they should have been rejected immediately by editors and peer reviewers", but 60% of the journals accepted them. He even submitted a paper claiming that eating a Pokémon substance (forgot the name) protects you from covid, and it got accepted.

you can literally put capri sun on the test and it will be positive. tested it myself.

2022-06-10 22:07

the thing is they mandatory tests at this events. so its fkd. u probably have 0 symptoms yet u gonna not be able to play cuz stupid laws

2022-06-10 18:24

relax chrisj

Imagine covid in 2022

Literally the common cold but the NPCs still haven't figured that out.

2022-06-10 18:23

2022-06-10 18:57

Aaaaand time to take the odds on AST! They haven't moved yet! Feels like k1to is a big downgrade from Krimbo!

Last time k1to stood in for the main team (for faven / Dallas qualifier) k1to played a pretty strong game Also astralis preparation might suffer from this player change I mean I would’ve preferred krimbo playing but I also wouldn’t count out BIG here yet :-)
