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.
The famous FPS title Quake is part of the esport sphere since the early days of professional gaming. Marcel “k1llsen” Paul has been part of the professional competitive scene for more than 14 years and since then is considered as one of the world’s best Quake players.
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.
From a group stage exit to champions of the captains circle, read all about the trials of Sephiblack and Team Germany at Gamers8!
The next international stop of our Tekken virtuoso, Sephiblack, was participating at Gamers8 2023 as part of Team Germany, sharing the stage with Tetsu from GamerLegion and HK Jr. from FaZe. This formidable trio experienced a challenging start at the tournament, making an early exit in the group stage of the main event after a streak of intense sets.
However, their spirit remained unbroken as they geared up for the next day’s challenge – the Captains Circle. This cutthroat single elimination tournament was a battle between eliminated teams vying for the stunning $50,000 prize. It was a test of true grit and Tekken prowess, one that our champions were ready for.
Team Germany began their comeback journey with a bang, defeating Côte d’Ivoire in the first round. Their momentum continued as they went on to outplay Team Thailand, securing their place in the grand final. The energy was palpable, the stakes high, but our heroes were unstoppable.
In the climactic finale, it was HK Jr. who delivered the final, victorious blow, conquering Team Saudi Arabia and crowning Team Germany as the undisputed champions of the Gamers8 Captains Circle! We’re incredibly proud of Sephiblack and his teammates for their stellar performance and unyielding perseverance. As he prepares to take on his next challenge at the Brussels Challenge later this week, we’re confident he’ll continue to #GOBIG!
