BIG sign gr1ks; bench hyped

The German-majority squad is back to calling in English with the new arrival.

BIG has announced the signing of Belarusian AWPer Gleb "⁠gr1ks⁠" Gazin from HEROIC, where he was benched after playing only two events, FISSURE Playground 1 and IEM Cologne 2025.

The 19-year-old had joined HEROIC from Astrum, and after his benching was allowed to briefly play with GUN5, where he averaged a 1.14 rating in 35 maps before his loan came to an end.

gr1ks loaned to GUN5

gr1ks's signing means Marcel "⁠hyped⁠" Köhn is moving to the bench, and Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz will return to calling in English, something the German team has done in the past when it had the likes of Mateusz "⁠mantuu⁠" Wilczewski or Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield and Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş on the roster.

hyped had been in the starting five for nine months and averaged a 0.98 rating in his latest tenure after being promoted from the academy team in January, which was his second time on the main team after a brief stint in 2023.

BIG hope to hit the jackpot with the 19-year-old, who was not a good fit in HEROIC, as they have been struggling and are 37th in the HLTV ranking and 38th in the VRS. Recent results include a 9-12th place at Birch Cup, bronze at Urban Riga Open, and 5-8th at Fragadelphia Blocktober, where they were competing with teams seeking to get a berth at the StarLadder Major.

BIG is now:

Germany Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz
Germany Jon "⁠JDC⁠" de Castro
Germany David "⁠prosus⁠" Hesse
Germany Karim "⁠Krimbo⁠" Moussa
Belarus Gleb "⁠gr1ks⁠" Gazin

Germany Sebastian "⁠xenn⁠" Hoch (coach)

nah. hyped and kyuubi were their weakest links by far. i like hyped and he definitely had great games but he was way too unreliable and inconsistent. he's got the most expensive buy and a .98 rating and misses a lot of crucial shots when it counts. i think this is a huge upgrade and makes a lot of sense
2025-10-10 16:26

LOL Hyped was legit deadweight. You can say stats arent everything but 0,98 as AWPer is really bad. He missed most normal shots and had SOME good moments but zero reliability.

I think he meant in the joking way like Launders says. It’s good racism where teams want to build good rosters of their countrymen.

I remember that at the time he joined big he didn't really speak german and even said on streams that he switched his game language to german so he learns the language. Idk if he lived in germany at the time tho

he did not even speak good english at that time if i remember correctly. remember the infamous "i am feeling thank you" interview? wasn't that during or close to his time in BIG. I remember some interview where someone in BIG said they are still deciding if xantares takes english or german lessons.

"I'm feeling thank you" happened in may 2017, he joined big in december 2018. 1.5 year so I wouldn't say it was during or close to his time in BIG.

United States sziasztok
from what I remember, he started learning german just for BIG, but it wasnt going very well at all, so BIG was doing a lot of things in english (which xantares also wasnt super strong at at the time). so, BIG just kinda had a star fragger who they couldnt always effectively communicate with. its this communication struggle that also pushed xantares to leave and go make his own turkish team even tho he could have other international success.

I'm pretty sure communication wasn't the reason of him leaving BIG if he played for almost 3 years there. He just wanted to develop turkish scene, that's all.

the team needs a shift. - krimbo + some solid rifler. Even from the CIS region. Presus solid for a trial, tabsen to stay to keep the feel of big and JDC can be a tier 1 player at times. +Griks is a very good move, but Krimbo has lost his touch in big, he's stale and could come back later, but he needs a break and BIG need a shift.

how can you say -Krimbo when he is the only good consistent player in this team JDC is tier1 player when he faces top100 teams, the moment the enemies can use their brain he is ghosting Also their T Sides and mid round calling are awful, but yeah bench Krimbo!

As much as I respect Tabsen for his talent and impact on the German CS scene, it's time for him to go. I don't think that firepower is the main hindrance for BIG to get stuff done; it's the mental game and calling. They rotate the same player pool for 2 years, and get smashed by banana teams. Tabsen got figured out. I believe they need a new perspective and drive. Why not try s1n and slacx?

Sorry for the late reply, but since someone bumped the thread now... It's about the money. I'm assuming its pretty expensive to cut two more of your players if they have 1+ years on the current contract and replace them with not cheap players like s1n and slacx + you need to sell your benched players. Let's be honest: there won't be much interest in this squad lol. Except for Krimbo, but he is 100% staying no matter what. On paper it sounds awesome, but in reality - its super expensive and BIG doesn't make any money from this CS roster, currently it just burns money. Gr1ks should have had low buyout due to being benched and not-so-high salary. But honestly, BIG management gets the "golden bin" across CS management teams in 2025 - absolute masterclass of being awful at decision-making. TLDR: if BIG had tons of "free cash" - it would have been an A+ move, but they don't.

Why? They took a 27-year old dude from their "academy team" to IGL - which take was wrong? That Krimbo is their big asset? If not him, who is their biggest asset?
