With two defeats against Heroic, BIG managed to get only the third place in his group in the group stage of the Blast Premier Fall counter-Strike tournament. G2 Esports has not yet been able to convince either.

"After a defeat in the first game, it is sometimes easier as a team in the second game. It felt that way for us, but it was close," BIGs coach Fatih "gob b" Dayik said in an interview after the game. "It would have been easier if we hadn't made so many mistakes, but Heroic will say the same.»

With the firm return of Nils "k1to" Grühne, BIG was able to compete with a full lineup. But Heroic beat the Canadian team at the start with 13:16 and also in the second game with 14:16, and then even the IEM Cologne winner FaZe Clan. With a 16:6 victory against Evil Geniuses, BIG ended up in third place.

In the play-ins, BIG will meet G2 in the Berlin Derby. The team ended up in the last place in their own group after narrow losses against Team Liquid and Natus Vincere, in which star player Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev will not join them until next week.
