FaveN was unable to participate in the IEM Rio Major qualifier at the time after falling ill.\u2028 <\/p>\n<p>\u2028S1n was an essential part of the team\u2019s relatively successful run in the tournament, where they finished with a 3-2 record to secure sixth place. After BIG were able to qualify for the IEM Rio Major Challengers Stage, the organization announced that s1n would continue playing in the lineup for the foreseeable future.\u2028\u2028 <\/p>\n<p>\u2028Prior to their recent outing at the Europe RMR B, s1n stood out as the best player in the BIG Academy, but the player is yet to show his mettle against tier-one teams. During the major-qualifying tournament held in Malta, s1n averaged an indifferent 0.93 rating, yet his efforts earned praise from in-game leader Johannes \u201c\u2060tabseN\u2060\u201d Wodarz.\u2028 \u2028<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThankfully, s1n is a very good player for that, for his age and also for his experience,\u201d the BIG in-game leader said.\u2028 <\/p>\n<p>\u2028\u201cHe managed to play all the things which I needed to call on the fly very good. We had a bootcamp where he arrived two days later than us; he was grinding a lot, he was just living CS, he was breathing CS, and it was one of the steps which we needed to make to be able to play this Counter-Strike, especially on the T side.\u2028<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I said, he\u2019s doing a fantastic job as a stand-in, and he\u2019s far better than we all expected, I would say.\u201d\u2028 \u2028<\/p>\n<p>BIG did not give any information about faveN\u2019s current condition, so it is not certain when &#8211; or if &#8211; the player will return to the team\u2019s active lineup. The IEM Rio Major qualifier marks the second time faveN has taken ill and missed a tournament this year. He was not a part of the German team\u2019s championship run during the Roobet Cup in June.\u2028 <\/p>\n<p>\u2028BIG were eliminated from BLAST Premier Fall Showdown on Thursday following a surprise 1-2 defeat to Sangal Esports in the first round.\u2028 \u2028They now turn their attention to Brazil for the IEM Rio Major Challengers Stage, where the team will face off against FURIA Esports on Monday, October 31. <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/sites\/\" title=\"Best esports bookies\">Top esports betting sites<\/a> have BIG as +110 outsiders for that clash, with FURIA pegged as -151.52 favorites.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028<a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/predictions\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports betting tips<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2028BIG have revealed that academy player Elias \u201c\u2060s1n\u2060\u201d Stein will feature on their Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster at the IEM Rio Major, which kicks off on October 31.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":21785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[941,626,4,2545],"class_list":["post-24935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-big","tag-cs-go","tag-featured","tag-iem-rio-major"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24935"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24935"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24936,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24935\/revisions\/24936"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
