Surprise succeeded: In the German-speaking LoL-Liga Prime League, BIG defeated the reigning champion Mouz with a clear 3:0. This means that the Hamburgers, who won the Winter Cup in 2021, were eliminated in the first knockout round.

"It's a great feeling to win again," BIGs coach Danusch "Arvindir" Fischer said in an interview after the game. "We can all be very happy with the series and accordingly the result was quite clear.»

After a shaky performance on the part of BIG in the regular season, Mouz went into the best-of-five series as the clear favorite. The Hamburgers also got the better start, but BIG did not let it get under him and took control after 15 minutes.

BIG transferred the momentum into the following game and gained a comfortable advantage early on. The Berliners then converted it into a 2-0 lead and match point.

For a long time, the decisive game was balanced, but BIG kept his nerve: with strong moves, the Berliners overran their opponent and made the sensation perfect. That means the end for Mouz - a title defense is no longer possible.
