BIG promoted Marcel “hyped” Kohn from their academy on Monday to replace benched AWPer Florian “syrsoN” Rische.
The German Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team’s roster shuffle comes after a 13th-16th place finish earlier this month at IEM Katowice.
The 21-year-old hyped joined BIG Academy in March 2022. He played with the main lineup during a European closed qualifier at IEM Brazil 2023.
Monday’s announcement ends a three-year run in the BIG starting lineup for syrsoN, 26, who joined the club from Sprout in January 2020.
In addition to hyped, the all-German BIG lineup features Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz, Josef “faveN” Baumann, Karim “Krimbo” Moussa, Nils “k1to” Gruhne and coach Fatih “gob b” Dayik.
