BIG extend prosus' contract

The Berlin-based organization has expressed its long-term commitment to the player with a multi-year deal.

BIG has announced the renewal of David "⁠prosus⁠" Hesse's contract after his first four months with the main team. The 20-year-old was brought up from the organization's academy squad alongside teammate Elias "⁠s1n⁠" Stein in June.

prosus has been a household name in the Berlin-based organization since starting his youth career in the academy team at the age of 16, although he moved to ALTERNATE aTTaX and fnatic Rising during the first half of 2021 before returning to BIG Academy in September of that year.

As one of the youth squad's most promising players, he finished runner-up at two WePlay Academy Leagues and at Fragadelphia 17, and also won back-to-back ESL Meisterschaft titles before he was promoted to the main squad.

"I am very happy to sign a long-term contract with BIG," prosus said about his extension. "This organization has always been more for me than just a standard org for which I play, they are more like a second family where I feel comfortable and can give everything because they also give everything for me and believe in me.

"I can't wait to see what's coming up in the near future. I am very much looking forward to the upcoming time, and the success we can achieve together in the coming years."

prosus has so far played at the BLAST Premier Fall Groups, the IEM Cologne Play-in, and ESL Pro League Season 18, since joining BIG's main side, and also won two online CCT events. His performances during this time have convinced management to offer him a multi-year deal, although BIG hasn't made public the exact length of the extension.

"The long-term contract extension with David is another important milestone in our planning," says BIG's Chief Gaming Officer, Roman R.. "Not only is he an outstanding athletic talent, but he also embodies the values and passion of our team like no other player.

"His journey from our academy team to the main team is an impressive example of his hard work, determination and commitment to BIG.

"We are confident that he will continue to play a key role in our team in the future and help us to achieve our goals. This contract extension is not only an important step for BIG, but also a sign that we are investing in our talented players and building long-term bonds. I look forward to many more exciting and successful years with David."
