The time has come — today we officially welcome a Counter-Strike legend to our ranks. The DON returns: Michele "zonixx" Köhler is now part of the BIG STREAMING family.
Internationally successful as a player, and an absolute cult figure in esports as a streamer and moderator. zonixx was early on regarded as one of the greatest talents in German Counter-Strike. As early as 2006, at age 16, he was part of the German ESL Pro Series at the time — making him the youngest player in the German professional league. During his professional career, he won numerous German championship titles and was nominated for MVP at Intel Extreme Masters Global Challenge Guangzhou. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YvYTQdVb24 Today he is also part of the "ran eSports" format on Prosieben, airing weekly on German television. Above all, Michele "zonixx" Köhler remains a gamer through and through. He shares his passion on his Twitch channel, greeting his viewers almost every day. We're thrilled to now support his stream on a regular basis and, above all, look forward to his visits to Berlin. The family welcomes the DON. #gobigorgohome
Statement Christian Lenz
Today we welcome Michele, a long-time and legendary companion, to BIG. The option to line up as an active player for us is no longer on the table, even though he made life difficult for us at ESLM Finals in 2017. For years he has been one of Germany's most successful streamers, and he has already shared his expertise with viewers on "ran esports" on multiple occasions. We're very happy that Michele has found his way to us and will represent our organization going forward. Welcome aboard!
Statement Michele "zonixx" Köhler
After turning down the option to join BIG as an active player several times, things weren't exactly peachy with Lenz (2 meters tall... you know what I mean). Once we'd let bygones be bygones, it was only a matter of time before I became active for BIG as a streamer. The DON is offered a natural environment with the family atmosphere at BIG, and I'm extremely excited to be part of BIG. #gobigorgohome
