The current online era has shaken up the status quo in CS:GO, but no team has had a more meteoric rise than BIG.
Towards the end of May 2020, BIG didn’t even rank inside the top twenty teams in the world. As July draws to a close, they hold the world number one ranking by the reckoning of both HLTV and esports historian Duncan ‘Thorin’ Shields.
But how exactly did they manage this extraordinary ascent? And are they a true world-beater, or is this just a flash in the pan, another quirk amid the turmoil of online competition?
We take a look at the story behind the rise of BIG, from the addition of two key new players to the benefits they may or may not be feeling in the online environment, compared to the crucible of a major stadium event.
