Skyesports Chennai Esports Global Championship 2025 Europe Open Qualifier

gr1ks top-frags as BIG beat BC.Game for berth at Skyesports Chennai

22-10-2025 15:11

JACKZ's Mousquetaires have also qualified for the event in India.

Gleb "⁠gr1ks⁠" Gazin was top of the scoreboard for new side BIG as he helped them beat BC.Game 2-0 for a spot at Skyesports Chennai.

Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov's debut event back alongside Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev was spoiled by the Belarussian sniper, but BC.Game had barely even made the semi-final after having to come back from 10-2 down against NOVAQ on map three in the round prior.

On the other half of the bracket, Mousquetaires overcame FUT and MOLO for a spot on LAN and a chance to face BIG in the grand final.

Date	Matches
Skyesports Chennai Esports Global Championship 2025 Europe Open Qualifier
23/10/2025	BIG 17:00 Mousquetaires	Match
22/10/2025	MOLO Finished 1:2 Mousquetaires	Match
22/10/2025	BIG Finished 2:0 BC.Game	Match

gr1ks and BIG will be pleased after a good result in their second event since removing Karim "⁠Krimbo⁠" Moussa and switching the captaincy to academy graduate Lukas "⁠FreeZe⁠" Hegmann.

The drastic move came after the team dropped as low as 48th on the world ranking, a freefall since the end of the partner system at the start of 2025 (when BIG were 20th).

Whether this online victory will lead to greater success remains to be seen, but it can only be a positive that gr1ks has posted 1.02 KPR and a 1.54 rating over the five-map qualifier so far.

BIG and Mousquetaires are set to be joined by True Thunder, Nemesis SEA, and two Indian qualifier teams at the $49,000 event in Chennai.

The tier-two, Tamil Nadu-backed, CEGC is a replacement for Skyesports Masters 2025, which the Indian tournament organizer canceled on October 7 in the latest of a series of struggles for the company.

Issues around Skyesports' events also include BetBoom's withdrawl of Skyesports Championship 2024 over conditions, and the cancellation of Skyesports Souvenir 2025 and all of their slated tier-one events for 2026.

2025-10-22 15:27

wonder when t3mple fans will accept that he isnt ready also having andu in 2025 on your team is crazy

Yeah even Sasha, the undisputed GOAT, isnt ready to face radar enjoyer gr1ks

2025-10-22 15:35

He performed against better teams at the Major.. Surely has nothing to do that they don‘t want to attend a 6 teams tournament with a pp of 49k in INDIA… When s1mple alone makes like 100k…

2025-10-22 15:34

participate in qualifiers and intentionally throw #GOATmentality

2025-10-22 15:40

prolly more like dont prep etc lol

2025-10-23 01:02

Will BIG actually win a trophy in this event?

2025-10-22 15:15

GOAT didn't want to go to India (Totally understandable tbh)

2025-10-22 15:16

throwing to get 0.67 rating. Fair enough

2025-10-22 15:18

Absolutely not worth to fly to India in a pathetic 6 teams tournament. They will be plenty of opportunities. Anyway andu and cacanito have to go. So the core will be elec, s1mple and nexa

You can cope as much as you want but they simply were the way worse team on the server today. They got outcalled, outaimed, outeverythinged. Not saying that they're a shit team in general, but they just played bad today, no amount of coping will fix that.

Coping of what? I ain‘t a fan of them. There is no cope and there is no excuse it‘s just a fact. BIG acted like their lives were at stake, while BC.Game unofficial CEO s0mple had a say… No intelligent person would go to India for 2 day when the flight to india and back home would literally almost equal the time they‘re spending in India Congrats BIG is so desperate attending a tournament against tier 500, where they still could lose to jackz and sixer lol

Coping that they didn't want to win so they don't have to go to india lol And I'll ignore the rest of the cope :D

8 replies

For dumb people it‘s cope For efficient and smart people it‘s a fact I‘m definitely sure you’re not one of the latter kind. Your team will embarrass themselves. For few vrs points.

2025-10-22 15:48

Does 0/8 represent your iq and efficiency? No wonder you are jobless Don‘t bother with reply I will block you

2025-10-22 15:50

0/8...

2025-10-22 15:59

Both sides are kinda true BIG needs every VRS possible but even enkayJ said in tizian watchparty that players didnt want to play it cuz they always got food poisoning in india

2025-10-22 15:51

Was rather about BCgame (or well, any T3/T2 team in general). I don't think any of them is happy to fly around the globe for 2-3 days, but I heavily doubt that would be enough reason to not wanna win the game lol

2025-10-22 16:01

you know that you are 0iq? its only 2 options here - you are literally mentally ill and are braindead , or you are trying to ragebait (but you do it so pathetic, so its not even funny) . somple drops 0,67 , washed garbage

2025-10-22 16:08

Why play the qualifier then?

2025-10-22 22:27

have fun in india

2025-10-22 15:53

I won't be going there, sadly I'm not part of the BIG org :(

mate u can get tickets for event

2025-10-22 22:20

s1mple and the rest prolly have higher aspirations than going to those events lol

They'll surely achieve this by not attending these LANs, that works really well with VRS 👍

theres others that are in europe (preferrably) and not half a world away with some pretty fat jetlag lol

2025-10-22 17:31

Are there any others going on rn? Because at least on HLTV it shows that BC game is only playing in CCT (online) and the ESL Challenger League Finals (also online) in the forseeable future. Imo they just lost because they were the worse team to day, not much else to it lol

2025-10-22 17:39

doesnt really matter for the fact that that lan wasnt worth it for them lol

2025-10-22 18:47

I really don't wanna continue this thread so just tell me quickly how LAN VRS points do not matter to a team that has T1 aspirations but is stuck in T3.

2025-10-22 18:54

they need at least 2 more changes anyway to not be stuck there anymore lol also im not saying they dont need them but that they dont want them (at least s1mple, very likely elec too, mb nexa other 2 idk)

2025-10-22 19:21

bc game is not there for the money they want the lan vrs points bro hahaha

It's nice being on the other side of the cope for once haha

Sure passing dumb tournament in India will change the outcome in a BIG (pun intended) manner…. They‘ll need to kick cacanito and andu anyway

respect biggest tournament of year pun not intended

Absolutely intended my man

2025-10-22 15:49

Prizepool equals 51K less. No need to thank me for doing the math for u!
