BIG finalize roster with hyped and kyuubii

10-1-2025 18:53

The German team is starting the season with two new faces.

hyped has been given another shot on BIG's first team

BIG have completed the signing of Can "⁠kyuubii⁠" Ali from fnatic and promoted academy player Marcel "⁠hyped⁠" Köhn, the German organization announced on Tuesday. The duo will fill the voids created by the departure of Rigon "⁠rigoN⁠" Gashi and the benching of Florian "⁠syrsoN⁠" Rische at the end of the 2024 season.

This is the second time that hyped has been promoted by BIG to replace syrsoN. In February 2023, he was moved up to the main team, only to be sent back to the academy roster four months later, when the organization signed Mateusz "⁠mantuu⁠" Wilczewski.

hyped spent the next eight months playing for BIG Academy. In February 2024, he was loaned out to ALTERNATE aTTaX, with whom he notably attended the IEM Cologne Play-In Stage and the IESF World Championship.

Official: BIG confirm syrsoN benching

kyuubii returns to activity after almost eight months on fnatic's bench. Signed from Sangal in November 2023, the German player struggled for form while playing under the British organization and made his final appearance for the team at ESL Pro League Season 19, in May.

The German organization will be hoping for a strong start to the 2025 season after an underwhelming year in which the team struggled to make deep runs at the biggest events. BIG's first test will be BLAST Bounty Season 1, which will start on January 14.

With these changes, BIG are now:

Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz
Jon "⁠JDC⁠" de Castro
Karim "⁠Krimbo⁠" Moussa
Marcel "⁠hyped⁠" Köhn
Can "⁠kyuubii⁠" Ali

Alexander "⁠kakafu⁠" Szymanczyk (coach)

Florian "⁠syrsoN⁠" Rische (benched)

poach and rotate german players every two months and achieve nothing

2025-01-10 20:42

That's a joke.

2025-01-10 21:19

I dont think that a german awper is strong enough. Maybe they should go international.

2025-01-10 19:49

just google "1984 by george orwell" and go to wikipedia. It is a classic novel of a dystopian future.

2025-01-10 21:25

Brain rot where you respond with reaction images and meme speech.

2025-01-11 19:21

to hire and release so many players in such quick succession it strongly suggests something is deeply rotten in that org, I am talking upper management level rotten. I got no clue what's the problem but if they keep benching half the squad every 2 months I really doubt they'll ever be able to attract anyone with any reputation.

2025-01-11 05:27

That's the struggle you have to deal with when you wanna stay national in a nation that only brings out a good player every once in a while.

I thank god every day that Israel gave up on the national team dream. Watching them fail for so long was the worst feeling ever… Mind you those teams were 50 times worse than big…

2025-01-11 13:20

I think it would work now, just gotta figure out the igl

2025-01-31 19:53

It won’t, I’ve been here for too long man it never works. I’ve seen Israeli teams trying to qualify for the major since source, there’s no Israeli org that is competent enough or any sponsors that are intrested because the Israeli scene and fan base is rather small… The talent and level was always high in Israel it’s just the environment that isnt good enough. Believe me I can go very deep into details and reasoning as to why it won’t work but to shorten it for the both of us I can tell you it won’t work. Only exception in can give is if an European org decides to make this team a reality, ran by a eu ceo and coaches and team staff are also European, only then there’s a way it could work, but it won’t ever happen for a million reasons

2025-01-31 23:37

syrsoN will be back by the end of the year. Maybe faveN as well for good measures xD

His current stats are actually pretty good though, just like in 2021 when he was at sprout. And we know what happened at the end of 2021

2025-01-10 19:03

I remember him playing crazy in Sprout, was there like a role change or what happened exactly?

2025-01-10 20:12

TabseN happened xd

2025-01-13 16:12

if they ever take back sryson, i will delete my flair

2025-01-10 19:05

Prepare for it. He‘s back after they won‘t qualify for the first major in 2025, because ‚this‘ is surely not BiG‘s german endboss lineup they‘re desperately trying to build

2025-01-10 19:14

before they do it they go international again

i think so too, deadson is not it and was never

2025-01-10 20:14

Would have been so awesome to see him come back strong but he got gradually worse for a long time besides the few glimpses here and there. U can't have ur AWPer have sub 1 rating for months

2025-01-10 21:56

xDDD

i like hyped, and slaxz probably wants to stay in NA. Dont know enough about kyuubii and if the positions will be the same as rigoN but i doubt it. Also the Article states that hyped got promoted from Academy.. but he played for Alternate aTTaX for the last year.

15 replies

positions aren't the same, but kyuubii is AMAZING and he technically was promoted since he only went to Alternate aTTaX on loan

2025-01-10 18:59

ah okay, didnt know he only was on loan, thanks. last time i saw kyuubii was in NLG and the early days of Sangal. i know he is good but i didnt watch him in fnatic. i dont think the roster is much of an upgrade individual but might be so for the teamplay. i mean we just have to wait and see. And i know that Roman somehow just wants to stay German right now.. so yeah, not much options.,

I believe Hyped was on loan from to BIG to Attax last year, as was Skyye before they terminate the loan early. alternate-attax.de/en/veraenderungen-am-..

2025-01-10 19:04

#24 didnt know it was just a loan transfer, thanks.

Yes, he was loaned out to ATX but was still signed to Big academy. So the statement is correct

2025-01-10 19:01

yeah #24 didnt know that it was just on loan, thanks

Actually BIG planed to reopen an academy team and hyped was planed to be part of it. If they would have been able to gat slaxz, hyped would be in the academy as far as i know. Also hyped was only lent to attax.

2025-01-10 19:36

initial rumors were indeed that hyped is part of BIGs new academy project but seeing that hyped has become a pretty great player during his time in attax i thought this was weird from the start. hyped is no academy player anymore, he deserves his slot in the main team

2025-01-11 10:37

Hope so

2025-01-11 16:28

doesnt matter slaxz hyped kyubi faven s1n or whoever all the same shit. talentpool is not there in germany to upgrade this team and core is not really promising aswell anymore.

2025-01-10 20:20

s1n igl slaxz awp jdc krimbo faveN/prosus would actually be a good lineup.

2025-01-10 20:48

no it wouldnt, nothing special at all wouldnt make any deeper runs then they do now and wouldnt upset any t1 teams in important matches.

2025-01-10 21:21

would be curious how that would play out in an alternative universe

2025-01-10 21:58

Why is slaxz regarded the best German AWP right now? He has a 0.93 rating against Top 30 teams in the last 6 months (0.97 in 2024). I am really curious.

2025-01-11 00:07

in my opinion hyped is a better fit for BIG. i wouldnt have minded slaxz in BIG either though but i think slaxz is a bit too passive for them & often goes missing in those important games. i'm also glad M80 isnt falling apart yet, kinda excited to see what they're doing with a german core

2025-01-11 10:48

lmfao

2025-01-10 18:57

Good. But when -tabsen? or +IGL and tabseN rifle on star positions?

2025-01-10 18:58

I've lost all hope for tabsen giving up the IGL role and just be the star he was meant to be

2025-01-10 20:21

they tried tabsen rifle and S1n IGL but S1n wasn't ready yet and once IGL many players can't let go of that mindset

2025-01-11 11:18

Recycling bin

+syrson in a few months incoming

dead team

When +prosus ?

bench jail, rip.

CS is not the same without a strong German team, rooting for them!

I believe this team is heavily underated. Kyuubii has a lot of potential and hyped was the only consistent player in attax. even tho he mostly played t3 and few t2 and t1 he was grinding a lot in a team where everyone wasnt performing good. Who knows, I believ they can flourish but we will see

2025-01-11 00:51

mid team

This team just loves moving sideways. Each move is no better or worse than the last

2025-01-10 19:09

Burden of being stuck with your (non-existent) national talents I guess. Where‘s the ‚I‘ in their name btw? Just go for ‚BG‘

2025-01-10 22:24

They just love their #15 on valve rankings lol. Whatever, have fun being German ig

2025-01-11 00:52

Tabsen still there Tier4

2025-01-10 19:13

hyped xDDDDDDDD

2025-01-10 19:17

Save krimbo from these bots

2025-01-10 19:19

Yeah … I feel sad for Krimbo. Tabsen was a really solid player as well. I mean before he was an IGL. Then he wasted his talent. And now it’s krimbo

2025-01-11 00:13

welcome back to tier3

2025-01-10 19:22

syrson is waay better then hyped, what are they thinking?

How hard is it to go international bruh

7 replies

who tf would care abt BIG if they were international? their entire identity is being German

2025-01-10 22:46

Look at their names very closely again. There is only 1 real German on the team and he is the newcomer. And there used to be only one German on the team before too

2025-01-10 23:25

"ReAl GeRmAnS" idc. they were raised under german culture, have a citizenship here and basically are normal citizens: Germans

2025-01-10 23:33

How are you so sure about that? But anyway, you just mentioned the German identity. These people are immigrants. Might as well go international

2025-01-10 23:44

I mean I do watch all their vlogs and they don't really seem any less german than me tbh lol

2025-01-11 01:13

didn't expect to read blatant facist takes here

2025-01-11 11:25

I didn’t say it’s bad or anything, just stated a fact. Just agreeing with the idea the team should consider going international

2025-01-11 11:46

syrson is ass but who tf is this guy?

2025-01-10 20:50

Thanks for making germany worse again

sick constantly

2025-01-10 23:17

JDC is the real weak link

2025-01-10 23:16

Hyped again?

JDC should have been gone first thing. Also Syrson defenders are delusional. That guy folds like a housewife doing laundry on a Monday morning. He CANNOT handle high pressure/elimination games. People think it's online vs offline thing but no, it's just his weak nerves. Hyped won't help at all, but you never know. Sometimes new chemistry changes everything for a roster and they just click. Flame me all you want but it's the truth.

2025-01-10 23:30

Not Hyped again.. xD

2025-01-10 23:50

-syrson +hyped -hyped +syrson -syrsoN +hyped BiG are cooking some greasy wurst that is past expiration date, was ist loss Menschen? Ich verstehe nichts

2025-01-10 23:58

So hyped for syrson to be back again

2025-01-11 01:32

Good to see hyped get another chance in the big leagues. When he flashes, he looks so damn good. GL to Bug Clan this season

2025-01-11 03:24

ah the famed +hyped - hyped +hyped wich BiG has adaptemd for a few players already tbh lol

2025-01-11 04:16

JDC, Krimbo and tabseN is a solid core, but they need to go international. They couldn’t even get slaxz so what’s the point of staying German?

2025-01-11 07:06

Classic big shit Kick player then bring him back then kick again

2025-01-11 08:46

I respect their dedication to try and get a full German team to the top, but we just don't have the young talents to make that happen. They should've went international when Tabsen was in his prime and never make him IGL.
