BIG’s miraculous defuse in overtime breaks 9z, helps push German team through to IEM Rio Major Legends Stage

BIG are the third CS:GO team from the IEM Rio Major Challengers Stage to advance to the Legends Stage following a 2-0 sweep over crowd-favorites 9z today.

9z had all the momentum in the world after they pushed the second map of the series, Dust II, to overtime after a great recovery in the second half. They nearly secured a point in overtime, but their spirit was seemingly broken after BIG’s rifler Karim “Krimbo” Moussa defused the bomb in round 32 with less than a second left on the clock. After that heartbreaking point, 9z collapsed and went on to lose the game 19-15 and the series.
