faveN to step in for syrsoN at Elisa Masters Espoo

14-11-2022 20:54

The German marksman tested positive for the coronavirus just two days before the start of the event.

Florian "⁠syrsoN⁠" Rische will not compete at Elisa Masters Espoo 2022 after testing positive for COVID-19, BIG announced on Twitter. To fill the gap left by the star AWPer, Josef "⁠faveN⁠" Baumann will return to the lineup ahead of the Finnish LAN.

This is the third consecutive event that BIG will play with a stand-in on the lineup after faveN was sidelined through illness and was replaced by Elias "⁠s1n⁠" Stein for the IEM Road to Rio Europe RMR and the IEM Rio Major.

syrsoN will miss out on Elisa Masters after testing positive for COVID-19

BIG are the third-highest-ranked team in attendance and were expected to make a run for the trophy before their star AWPer was ruled out of the event. However, the German squad is no stranger to illness disrupting their plans as they have fielded four different rosters in 2022 due to player unavailability.

Fantasy game open for Elisa Masters Espoo

The German squad will kickstart their Elisa Masters Espoo campaign on November 16 with five best-of-one matches throughout the first day of play. Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz's men were placed in Group A alongside the likes of Sprout and ENCE, and will compete for a top-three finish in order to qualify for the next stage.

BIG will field the following roster at Elisa Masters Espoo:

Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz
Karim "⁠Krimbo⁠" Moussa
Nils "⁠k1to⁠" Gruhne
Elias "⁠s1n⁠" Stein
Josef "⁠faveN⁠" Baumann

Fatih "⁠gob b⁠" Dayik (coach)

I define it by the players not by the org, otherwise Faze would be NA as well. I think it's weird to be a fan of a team all of the sudden just cause the ownership changed.

faze is eu as it has 1 na player and 4 from eu xD kekw

that's exactly my point, I meant it to disproof current C9 being a NA team

2022-11-15 17:06

its not because palyers are from eu or na, faze is org from eeu, and c9 is org from na, thats how u can call orgs

2022-11-14 22:12

Yeah but they did that themselfs

2022-11-14 23:04

lol this time you cant replace your sniper though.

2022-11-15 10:48

okj

syrson the GOAT

2022-11-14 20:55

Schade!

Stand-in buff to the rescue again

2022-11-14 21:11

you cant really call this stand in :D I mean sin can be still considered stand in but faven is more like main lineup

2022-11-15 07:54

True but someone will have to be a stand-in AWP in any case, despite being on the main lineup

2022-11-15 08:39

Im still waiting for the day Big plays a tournament without a stand-in 🤣

2022-11-15 09:52

2022-11-15 09:59

mid replaces mid

ayo, where is your beloved device during the event?

2022-11-15 03:29

u can change lineup now tho?

2022-11-15 06:30

Yup, Im changing rn, and no viable option to replace Syrson

2022-11-15 20:05

Astralis and NIP with their 5th man changing all the time is so bizarre but BIG doing it feels...normal...

Without syrson whole event not watchable

faven to step IN? isn't he part of the lineup to begin with??

Apparently not anymore

2022-11-14 21:51

I thought so

2022-11-14 22:53

BIG showing EG how a rotating roster works! Also agree. The big news here would be faven dropped for s1n

2022-11-15 00:11

It did say in news earlier that s1n would be in the roster for at least the major and Blast.

2022-11-15 01:24

Wasn't he supposed to be unfit for play because he was ill too?

2022-11-15 11:13

nooooooooooo :( big would of won the event if they had him

this constant shuffling is getting absurd hope they finally stabilise

the Ls from brazil continue

2022-11-14 21:05

not so ez but Cucumber

has big ever played with the same 5 people this year? feels like they (have to) switch around every other event man :I

probably not honestly

2022-11-14 21:31

RIP another tournament for BIG

faven in absence? does that mean he is benched for good?

He is beched according to BIG team page

2022-11-14 21:17

basically a 6-men roster at this point

7 if you include tizian

2022-11-15 06:39

we don't, he is banished to the academy realm where he will hopefully remain for all eternity

2022-11-15 17:31

everyone on BIG taking a turn missing events

2022-11-14 21:13

whos gonna awp?

i asume either faveN or k1to

2022-11-14 22:08

tabsen

2022-11-14 22:13

tabsen used to play awp in big before syrson so most likely he will

2022-11-14 22:29

AWP IGL meta, BIG wins next major confirmed

2022-11-15 13:31

Yeah very good that I already pick him to my fantasy with primary awp role, very nice

2022-11-14 21:14

You can adjust your roster through the fantasy team page until the event starts!

Can I change the player? I wouldn't want to pay 219 000 for fking Faven xd

Yes, there is a drop down menu you can click on when looking at your lineup (next to Overview/Details/Standings), then you click "edit lineup"

2022-11-14 21:22

Thanks, I didn't know that

2022-11-14 21:39

Thanks dude, you saved my fantasy!

2022-11-15 09:25

Hope faveN stays healthy too, he’s like me always sick 🤒

he can play from his bedroom hahahahahaha

2022-11-14 21:16

Syrson dont give a fuck!

2022-11-14 21:18

What's happening with faveN? He's out of the team because of illness, but can play at an event with 2 days notice? Glad s1n is playing, really like him.

Think big benched faveN only because of avoiding RMR restrictions

2022-11-14 22:36

When will the 5 play a single event together?

2022-11-14 21:21

who will AWP?

2022-11-14 21:24

Probably faven, for some reason, (might be wrong) I remember him as second awp on sprout

2022-11-14 21:52

tabsen used to play awp in big before they got syrson so maybe him

2022-11-14 22:31

Big saving strats for Elisa fr

2022-11-14 22:51

big +an immune system bro i cant with this team hope syrsyon recovers quickly

2022-11-14 21:27

If players keep getting boosted eventually ChrisJ will be the only stand-in available.

2022-11-14 22:14

Lol

2022-11-15 07:02

2022-11-15 13:46

2022-11-15 15:38

triple or quadruple boosted Germans have issues with immune system, unexpected, but I think for the most part it's usually faveN who is absent

2022-11-15 23:26

2022-11-14 21:29

BIG try to play with your whole roster challenge (impossible)

2022-11-14 21:30

Was there given a spesific reason for faven absence? Not just medical?

Medical BS

2022-11-15 11:22

This event might be as dead as IEM Rio

2022-11-14 22:26

most stable csgo roster

2022-11-14 22:28

Why wasnt playing at first place

Are you joking?

2022-11-14 22:56

Play with real lineup at 1 event challenge

2022-11-14 23:06

2022-11-14 23:07

germans still scared of covid?

2022-11-14 23:09

What the hell is going on with this roster lmao? Just disband honestly

2022-11-14 23:23

maybe they won't now to play passively,, all young virtus GL!

2022-11-14 23:31

again? really?

2022-11-15 00:02

how many different 5 man rosters have big used this year? feels like so many

2022-11-15 00:21

tabsen awper pog

2022-11-15 01:31

hau do big always have someone sick

2022-11-15 01:33

Onlineson

2022-11-15 02:54

Who will awp Or will it be five riflers

2022-11-15 05:39

tabseN can AWP pretty convicingly. At least he could a few years ago. He has the aim but not the main awp theory craft but it will be ok for 1 tourney, like when dupreeh did it for Astra in 2018

2022-11-15 11:19

new awping igl in the house true

2022-11-15 17:03

Truth

2022-11-15 22:38

Lies

2022-11-16 05:39

maybe k1to, since he has been secondary awping i guess

2022-11-15 17:32

yeah mb he can become new awper and replace syrson lol

2022-11-15 18:00

hell no

2022-11-17 15:25

awww :(

2022-11-19 17:53

Wait what? So faveN is ready to play but he didn’t return? So he wouldn’t return if SyrsoN wasn’t COVID positive?

2022-11-15 07:44

BS PR as usual . '' s1n steps in for faveN who has health issues '' Then supposedly ill player gets benched discretely once no one is watching ...

2022-11-15 11:18

Step-in? So he was actually got benched and not just on the sideline because illness?

2022-11-15 10:01

Getting replaced by someone who was supposedly out of the team because of health issues... Looks like '' health issues '' is the New PR stunt ( Hello devve )
