syrsoN released from BIG as international move surfaces
The German AWP'er will no longer be fighting under the BIG banner!
Just announced on the teams official Twitter page, BIG have said their final goodbyes to Florian "syrsoN" Rische. The 27-year-old AWP'er parts ways with the Berlin giants after a three-year-long spell at German roster. After joining in 2020, the talented AWP'er helped BIG reach incredible upsets against some of the biggest teams on the biggest of stages. Now, however, "syrsoN" will have to look elsewhere to further his Counter-Strike career.
Perhaps "syrsoN" won't be 'offline' for too long, as reports of an international move have surfaced. 00NATION are reportedly in talks of signing a new-look squad of four experienced players Thomas "birdfromsky" Due-Frederiksen, Florian "syrsoN" Rische, Jon "JDC" de Castro, and Nikolaj "niko" Kristensen. Finalizing the five-man roster is young and talented Tim "susp" Ångström.
The five players played under the name "QM" at the current Pinnacle Cup V. The roster faced Spirit in the opening round of play, where they managed to take the CIS-roster of Spirit through all three maps. "syrsoN" and QM ultimately lost to Spirt, however, their performance didn't go unnoticed. Whether or not 00NATION will sign the five players under their banner is still unknown. "syrsoN", however, seems eager to continue his career elsewhere after being released by BIG.
The "QM" roster looks as follows:
Tim "susp" Ångström
Jon "JDC" de Castro
Florian "syrsoN" Rische
Nikolaj "niko" Kristensen
Thomas "birdfromsky" Due-Frederiksen
