BIG Part Ways with FreeZe — blameF Reportedly Set to Take Over as IGL

German organization BIG has officially announced the departure of FreeZe from the active roster. According to rumors, the vacant spot will be filled by blameF, who is also expected to take over the in-game leader role.

The 27-year-old joined BIG’s system in July, initially becoming part of the academy roster. In August, he was promoted to assistant coach of the main team, and by October he had already been named the team’s captain. Prior to joining BIG, FreeZe spent three years playing for ALTERNATE aTTaX, where he was a consistent presence on the German CS scene.

Over the past three months, FreeZe posted an average rating of 0.85. Despite the modest individual statistics, he managed to secure two notable trophies with BIG, winning a LAN tournament in India and the CCT 3 European Series 12, marking some of the team’s few successes during that period.

BIG’s current lineup now consists of Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz, Jon “JDC” de Castro, David “prosus” Hesse, Gleb “gr1ks” Gazin, and coach Sebastian “xenn” Huch. Reports suggest that with blameF’s arrival, the Danish player will assume captaincy duties, while faveN is rumored to replace prosus in the active roster.

So far, BIG have not made any official statements regarding the rumored changes, but further clarification is expected in the near future.
