So Long Partner: BIG officially bids farewell to Tizian

Last night, The legendary German Esports organisation BIG formally bid farewell to the former support player Tizian "tiziaN" Feldbusch. He was benched back in August, 2022. He took to Twitter in March officially announcing that he is looking for offers. As of now, the player has no offers. He spent a total of four years on the active roster and was part of some of BIG’s best years.

BIG and tiziaN:

After spending multiple years hopping rosters, tiziaN got his “BIG” break. BIG, an organisation made with legendary German players in LEGIJA, gob b and tabsen was looking to make changes. With LEGIJA switching to a coaching role and keev benched, BIG sought two youngsters to fill the spot. The first player joining was tiziaN, a German support rifler and an English awper in smooya. The new BIG quickly rose up to ranks and made a name for themselves.

The team placed second after Natus Vinere at ESL One Cologne 2018. The top results were short lived as the team did not win a lot after their ESL One Cologne run. With tiziaN, smooya and later XANTERES, BIG was always a contender and considered a top 10 team in Counter-Strike throughout 2019-2020.

2020 saw BIG rise to newer heights with new faces along with tiziaN. The reiterated BIG saw a decent amount of success winning CS_Summit, Dreamhack Open amongst other events.When LAN’s return, the team saw decent performance but did not break into the Major Champions stage.

BIG decided to make roster changes after they failed to qualify for the 2021 and 2022 Major. The team brought in k1to to replace tiziaN. The later assumed an unidentified role in the organisation.
