BIG forced to use substitute for faveN at Europe RMR

German rifler Josef “⁠faveN⁠” Baumann won’t attend the Europe Regional Major Ranking (RMR) in October because he has fallen ill. The organization will try to qualify for the IEM Rio Major with academy rifler Elias “⁠s1n⁠” Stein.

BIG didn’t go into the specifics of faveN’s medical leave and simply said that it is “a medical situation that requires him to rest at home.” This will be the second time the 22-year-old has had to take a step back from the active CS:GO lineup due to an illness this year. He missed the playoffs of the Roobet Cup in June and the IEM Cologne Play-in in July due to abdominal influenza and was replaced by Nils “k1to” Gruhne.
