The goal of our Academy project was from the beginning to give young players an entry into professional gaming and to train them in all areas along their path. Our team has clearly exceeded the expectations placed on them over the past nine months, and we are very proud that we were able to field such a sharp and reliable squad with the support of OMEN by HP. For our player "PREET", the opportunity has now arisen to pursue his dream as a full-time professional, and we wish him all the best on this path. It goes without saying that he will finish the current season for us.
Statement Christopher "PREET" Glaser
After two seasons with BIG. OMEN Academy, I will now begin a new chapter in my life. These two seasons, in which we as a team went through many highs and lows, shaped me not only as a player but also as a person. For this reason, I will look back on this time with a laugh and a tear. I would like to thank my team, Alex, Markus, Max, Lukas, Sam, Hagen, and Abi, for the great time we had together. I would also like to thank the BIG organization for making my time with the organization as pleasant as possible. I am also very grateful for the support we received as a team from the main team, including Kakafu and Tabsen. Through this help, I developed tremendously as a person and, above all, as a player. I hope we can now end our season successfully with promotion to the first division of the 99 Damage Liga. I wish the team every success in the future and hope we will meet on the server again from time to time.
We wish Christopher "PREET" Glaser every success in his new home and thank him for the time we shared together.
