In 2017 we united the best & most prestigious German Counter-Strike players to compete with the world's leading esport organizations. What followed was a tremendous success story. Today our starting roster is among the best teams in the world and competes on the biggest stages of esports.
League of Legends is undoubtedly the driving force in esports. Since the release in 2009, more than 100 million people fell in love with the famous MOBA title. In March 2018 we joined forces with a young and tremendously talented LoL squad, who are representing BIG with all their passion and dedication for the game.
Another addition to our Counter-Strike department, BIG EQUIPA is our Iberian powerhouse competing in the ESL Impact league! Stay up to date with one of the best women's team in the world.
In our quest to unite the best Germany has to offer, we brought aboard Tobias “ShoWTimE” Sieber in our expansion to StarCraft.
As a household name in StarCraft, Tobias is one of the most successful German players.
Spearheading our fighting games division is Arja "Sephiblack" Gamoori! As the best German Tekken player and a top European contender, he is well known for his mastery of Miguel, and wholehearted approach to both competition and streaming.
We are excited to announce BIG’s strategic entry into Fortnite, a decision that has been carefully planned for an extensive period. As we expand our games portfolio, we are committed to significantly increasing our investment in our Fortnite division. Fortnite’s global appeal, with hundreds of millions of players, offers immense potential, particularly in the DACH region.
At Combo Breaker, one of the most anticipated fighting game events hosted annually in Chicago, BIG’s very own Tekken 7 marvel, Sephiblack, made an impressive return. Last year, Sephiblack placed fourth, setting a legendary precedent as the sole European player and overcoming several tournament favorites in the process.
This year, Sephiblack set his sights on the coveted prize once again, beginning his journey in the pools with 690 formidable competitors. His performance was nothing short of remarkable as he effortlessly claimed victory over his first five opponents. His first loss came against the formidable Shadow 20z, which meant a continued run, albeit on the lower-bracket of the Top 24.
Unfazed, Sephiblack struck back fiercely, eliminating three US opponents consecutively. His decisive triumph over one of the world’s best players, Anakin, in the final round, ensured his spot in the top eight. The journey culminated in an intensely close series against Joey Fury, where Sephiblack placed eighth. Despite the result, he not only brought home another prominent international result but also upheld his legacy from last year of making top eight at Combo Breaker. It was a tournament run that showcased the skill, determination, and resilience that is emblematic of our Sephiblack.
