One of the teams to fly under the radar at IEM Rio has definitely been BIG. The Germans went 3-1 in the Challengers Stage to qualify for the Legends Stage, where Day 1 ended perfectly by winning against their two fellow German Organizations Sprout and MOUZ.
The match against MOUZ was decided on Mirage. In the bo1 match BIG started on their T side, which normally would be a disadvantage, but not against MOUZ, who has shown the best T side during this event. BIG went 10-5 up after the first half. The much-feared T side from MOUZ never really got going due to an impressive defense from BIG in the second half. It ended pretty one-sidedly in a very convincing win for BIG.
