The last time the Dane was in action was back in December 2021, when BIG replaced him with their active player Josef “faveN” Baumann who came from Sporut back in 2021. After some weak performances from BIG in tournaments finishing 9-11th at PGL Major Stockholm and 9-12th at IEM Winter, Gade was put on the bench at the end of 2021 seeing BIG return to a full German lineup again.

We have mutually agreed with @gadeCS_ to terminate his player contract so he can freely pursue new opportunities. ?
