BIG to play with academy player at IEM Rio CS:GO Major

German CS:GO team BIG will use academy player Elias “⁠s1n⁠” Stein in place of Josef “⁠faveN⁠” Baumann during the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown Europe and, most notably, the IEM Rio Major, the second Valve-sponsored event of 2022.

S1n made his way onto the first team earlier this month during the Regional Major Ranking (RMR) B tournament as a result of faveN falling ill ahead of the IEM Rio Major qualifier. S1n helped BIG qualify for the Major with a 3-2 record, beating Sangal, Vitality, and K23 throughout their journey.
