Contract tenure map
One lane per player, one bar per status period, plotted from 2017 to today. Current members sit on top with open contracts running to the right edge; former players follow in reverse departure order. Colour marks the status each period was held in, and a gap in a lane is time away from the organisation. Service counts starter, stand-in and coach periods; bench time is shown separately and never added to it (open contracts on the active roster average 2y 9m of service today). Hover a bar for that period's dates and, when recorded, its maps and the player's rating with BIG; tap a lane for the full contract record. The same moves appear in the transfer ledger below.

Tactical dossier
BIG is a German esports organisation founded on 2 January 2017, when three former NRG players announced a new team under the name Berlin International Gaming. Its CS2 roster is led in-game by tabseN, who has been with the club since the start, and is completed by riflers JDC, blameF and faveN, awper gr1ks and coach xenn.
The club was formed by the former NRG trio gob b, LEGIJA and tabseN, who recruited nex and keev to complete the first lineup. The early seasons were unsettled. Coaches were signed and replaced repeatedly through 2017 and 2018, and on 23 December 2018 BIG signed XANTARES to stand in for nex while he recovered from wrist pain. XANTARES later extended his contract by a year on 28 September 2020, and on 13 August 2021 BIG released him, after which he was signed by Eternal Fire.
tabseN remains the in-game leader and has played 2,140 maps in his time with the club. JDC joined on 12 February 2024 as a rifler and has 563 maps, while gr1ks arrived as awper on 10 October 2025 with 184 maps. blameF and faveN both joined on 9 January 2026 as riflers, with 159 and 153 maps respectively. xenn has been the coach since 22 August 2025, having held the same role from 17 March 2025 to 8 July 2025, with scrunk in charge between 8 July and 22 August 2025.
kyuubii joined on 10 January 2025 and left on 22 August 2025, the same day xenn and prosus arrived. freeze and krimbo were both added on 12 October 2025, and krimbo was benched that day before he left on 2 September 2026. The biggest change came in early January 2026. hyped left on 3 January, freeze on 4 January and prosus on 9 January, and blameF and faveN arrived on the same day prosus left.
BIG rebuilt the roster on 21 June 2023, promoting prosus and s1n and signing mantuu, and on 3 July 2023 it released tiziaN. On 12 February 2024 the club benched s1n and mantuu and brought in syrson and JDC from 00 Nation. Kakafu returned to the CS2 coaching staff on 29 February 2024, and tabseN and gob b had renewed their contracts on 29 July 2022 until 2027.
Between 2022 and 2025 the awper and rifler spots changed many times. s1n was a rifler from 29 September 2022 to 24 November 2022, and faveN from 24 November 2022 to 21 June 2023. syrson played as awper on three separate spells, the last ending on 12 February 2025. mantuu was an awper from 21 June 2023 until 12 February 2024, then returned for a short second spell that ended on 22 May 2024. prosus played as rifler from 21 June 2023 until 10 July 2024 and again until 2 July 2025, while rigon held a rifler spot until 20 December 2024 and again until 1 January 2025.
xenn is the only coach on the current list. Before the current spell, kakafu coached from 25 May 2024 to 17 March 2025, when xenn took over until 8 July 2025. scrunk held the role between 8 July and 22 August 2025, and xenn returned to it on 22 August 2025.
BIG is ranked 37th in the world and 30th on the Valve global ranking. It has spent 22 weeks in the top 30 of the rankings. The two figures are separate rankings and are listed separately here.
