Germany's BIG, now ranked 16th in the world rankings, announced the transfer of Karim «Krimbo» Moussa from the youth squad to the main squad. This is the first time a player from BIG Academy has moved to the BIG roster on a permanent basis. The player will take the place of Nils «k1to» Grun.
The young cyber athlete has participated in the BIG Academy twice – in 2020 and 2022. In 2021, he played for German teams from the second hundred ranking – ALTERNATE aTTaX and cowana. He has served as a captain and ingame leader at BIG Academy since 2022. His squad finished in second place in the WePlay Academy League Season 3.
Krimbo has already replaced k1to at the PGL Major Antwerp Europe RMR Open Qualifier. After a successful performance on it, the team management decided to finally transfer the player to the main squad. In contrast, Nils «k1ro» will now have to lead the youth squad.
«I was very happy when I found out that the team wanted to qualify for the majors with my participation, and now I am happy to be a permanent member," Krimbo commented. – I will have to live up to the high standards, but I am confident, especially after we successfully qualified for the European RMR tournament».
