Wiki

As is the case with many others who have graced the pro scene, syrsoN was introduced to Counter-Strike by his brother at a young age when he was about 10 years old.
 

Early Life

While the team never managed to break into the top 30 or win an international title, syrsoN gained notoriety in the European sub-top, putting up enviable performances in nearly every outing. Across 2018, he played 336 maps and averaged a 1.20 rating, doing slightly better against the best opposition he played with a 1.23 rating against the top 30 squads (46 maps). Surpassing his level from 2017, when he had managed just a 1.07 rating for the year, syrsoN had proven his capabilities as a star AWPer and was on to a new challenge soon.

SyrsoN decided against renewing his contract with the organization he had been a part of since 2016. As Sprout was looking to go back to a full-German lineup, the move was obvious, and he picked up where he left off in his last team. With a stronger core of players around him, he took the next step in his career, becoming a part of a fairly consistent top-30 squad.

During the 12 months that he spent with the team, syrsoN only managed to win two domestic titles from DreamHack Leipzig international and ESL Meisterschaft Winter 2019 Finals but picked up up several second places at events such as Charleroi Esports, Copenhagen Games 2019, Games Clash Masters, and DreamHack Open Atlanta. A big breakthrough came online, though, as Sprout battled through the relegation tournament to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 10. In the four maps played, syrsoN was again the standout player, posting a 1.33 rating against Heretics and NIP.

At the Pro League group stage, which was held on LAN in London, Sprout came out short in all three matches played, but only by the smallest margins. Over nine maps, the German side won more rounds than they lost, leaving a great impression despite the final result.

BIG Clan

Achieving what he could with Sprout and showing an admirable level online (1.16 rating), on LAN (1.18 rating), and against the best opposition he was able to play (1.16 rating vs top 20, 54 maps), his destination was obvious – the German trailblazers BIG. The German giants, who had made history with their runs at the PGL Krakow 2017 Major and ESL One Cologne 2018, had been in turmoil for most of 2019, even falling behind Sprout in the rankings at certain points, but for syrsoN, joining the team alongside Nils “⁠k1to⁠” Gruhne and reuniting with tiziaN was not a hard decision.

A poor end to the previous year and two-player changes meant that BIG began 2020 ranked as low as 46th in the world, having to prove their worth before syrsoN and co. could begin competing at the most prestigious events, which count the most towards the top 20 players of the year ranking. BIG had a slow start, losing to domestic rivals Sprout in their first match played and failing to qualify for DreamHack Open Anaheim, being eliminated by AVEZ.

The German side also didn’t have a spot at IEM Katowice, the biggest LAN event of the year, but showed signs of what was to come on home soil, at DreamHack Open Leipzig. Despite being the lowest-ranked team coming into it, BIG won the event dominantly, giving up just nine rounds per map played on average, outplacing squads within the top 20 such as Heroic and MAD Lions.

With the restructuring of ESL Pro League, BIG was one of the teams that were left out in the cold, so they decided to travel to Los Angeles at the beginning of March to try to qualify for Flashpoint 1 — which they did, although they ended up skipping the $1 million competition. The global pandemic changed everyone’s plans, though, and with LANs canceled and competitions going online, BIG was invited to Pro League S11 after all.

Career

syrsoN’s first official matches on HLTV date back to 2012, when he represented gamed! de in ESL Pro Series Germany Winter Season 2012. At the time a pure rifler, he was the best-rated player on his team at the competition (1.19 from 18 maps), but despite being salaried and reaching the top domestic level so quickly, he was determined to keep education as his priority. The decision to put the game in a secondary place seemingly reflected on his performances, as it took him five years before he was the standout player for a team again.

Over the next two years, syrsoN recorded just 16 matches on HLTV, upping the ante in 2015, when he linked up with Planetkey, who featured his current teammate Tizian “⁠tiziaN⁠” Feldbusch as well as Sprout Niclas “⁠enkay J⁠” Krumhorn. The team was regularly participating in German competition but didn’t leave a mark in European tournaments, which syrsoN explains wasn’t for a lack of trying

For the next two years, syrsoN recorded just 16 matches on HLTV, upping the ante in 2015, when he linked up with Planetkey, who featured his current teammate Tizian “⁠tiziaN⁠” Feldbusch as well as Sprout Niclas “⁠enkay J⁠” Krumhorn. The team was regularly participating in German competitions but didn’t leave a mark in European tournaments, which syrsoN explains wasn’t for a lack of trying.

What followed was a step up to ALTERNATE aTTaX, the organization syrsoN would spend almost three years in, playing with a plethora of different players and undergoing a big role swap later on. In 2016, the team had Kevin “⁠keev⁠” Bartholomäus as their star AWPer, while syrsoN was one of the four less-impactful riflers (0.99 rating from 170 maps played).

In an individually unimpressive year, syrsoN still managed some big team-based achievements. At the age of 20, syrsoN played his first ESEA Premier season (Season 22, finished 3rd-4th), and took part in his first and only Big Event to date, ELEAGUE Season 2, after a massive upset over Jesper “⁠JW⁠” Wecksell’s GODSENT in the final game of the qualifier. While the German side crashed out of the prestigious tournament after three maps and losses to Astralis (ranked 13th in the world) and Natus Vincere (third), just a few weeks later they got their first-ever LAN trophy, even including German events, by winning ESWC 2016 as the sixth-highest ranked squad in Paris.

Shortly after lifting the trophy at ESWC, ALTERNATE aTTaX reached its peak in the world ranking at No.22. Changes were imminent, though, as keep was called up to BIG based on a year of solid showings, while syrsoN picked up the ‘Big Green’, drawing from his sniping experience in Counter-Strike: Source. While the team trended downward throughout 2017, syrsoN’s form picked up as he fully committed to the game. He posted a 1.11 rating in ESEA MDL Season 24 between February and April, but it was only after an in-game leader change at the end of the year that the German AWPer started to flourish and consistently deliver.

Awards and Achievements

syrsoN showed what he was made of in the event, helping BIG to kick off the tournament with group stage wins over Fnatic (ranked sixth) and Natus Vincere (first), but his team had to settle for a disappointing 16-18th finish after losing the remaining three games to lesser opposition. The AWPer averaged a 1.10 rating across 13 maps played, with high impact as well (1.22 impact rating) and success both in opening up rounds (0.18 opening kills per round) and clutching (6 1vXs won).

With a 1.21 rating for the event, as well as an incredible 1.43 CT side rating and a 1.26 rating in playoff matches, syrsoN scooped the MVP award, the first of his career, but there was little time to celebrate as cs_summit 6 was around the corner. syrsoN was again a stable contributor to his team and didn’t drop off in the playoffs (1.13 rating), but it was the wunderkind Mathieu “⁠ZywOo⁠” Herbaut from the losing side that snagged the MVP, leaving the German with only a place among the Exceptionally Valuable Players (EVPs).
