BIG - Latest performance & results

The German top team joined the absolute top of the world last year. Especially in the middle of the year, BIG won DreamHack Masters Spring, cs_summit 6 and DreamHack Open Summer, among others. With a third place at the IEM Global Challenge, the team also managed to convince in the last tournament of 2020. However, the start of the new year was a bit bumpy for the German team .

The defeat against Sprout at the ESL Championship, as well as the elimination in the semifinals of DreamHack Open January in the duel with Spirit were rather disappointing. However, the first appearance on the big stage at the BLAST Premier: Spring Groups was more than satisfactory. With three wins out of four games, including against Astralis , the team secured qualification for the BLAST Spring Finals. In the duel between BIG and OG , given the odds, the German team is the clear favorite.

However, the first really disappointing tournament result in a long time should follow for BIG at the IEM Katowice 2021. After the team already had problems in the play-ins and finally only secured their entry into the main event in the deciding match against MIBR , the Germans were ultimately eliminated from the tournament with 0:4 in maps. Close defeats against Heroic and G2 ended with the last place at Katowice 2021. Disappointing.

OG - Latest performance & results

The originally Danish organization, which became known primarily for its Dota2 team, decided to enter CS:GO in 2019. The team around IGL Aleksib regularly participated in big events, but could not celebrate any tournament success until today. At the beginning of March, the organization then decided to make a change in the active lineup. Veteran NBK- had to leave the team and can look for a new challenge.

At the ESL Pro League the team will compete with stand-in niko . The recently dismissed Dane from Heroic is seen as a possible replacement and will get the chance to prove himself in the new team next month. At the end of last year, the team achieved the greatest success in the history of the organization in terms of prize money. At Flashpoint 2, the team only lost to Virtus.Pro in the final and won 250,000 USD.

However, the new year has been very disappointing for the European mixed team so far. After clear defeats against BIG and Astralis at the BLAST Spring Groups, the IEM Katowice 2021 also ended without a map win. In view of the odds, OG is the clear underdog in the duel with BIG .
