Berlin, December 11th 2023 – We are pleased to announce the signing of a long-term contract extension with Karim “Krimbo” Moussa!
Krimbo’s journey with us began in early 2020 when he joined the BIG Academy, already recognized as one of the most promising prospects in the German esports scene. During his first stint with the Academy, he showcased his skills and dedication, exemplified with a championship title at the 15th season of the 99Liga.
In his pursuit of excellence, Krimbo embarked on his first professional contract with ALTERNATE aTTaX, where he honed his abilities by competing at an international level. His relentless determination and consistent growth did not go unnoticed by our coaching staff. Consequently, he returned to the organization at the beginning of 2022 as the captain of the new BIG Academy roster.
