BIG’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team will turn to academy rifler Elias “s1n” Stein to replace starter Josef “faveN” Baumann for the upcoming Europe Regional Major Ranking.
Per the German squad, the 22-year-old faveN is addressing “a medical situation that requires him to rest at home.”
Update: due to a medical situation that requires him to rest at home, we will be playing the RMR with @s1nCS instead of @favenCS. ??
Please give a warm welcome to Elias, and wish Josef a fast recovery! #GOBIG pic.twitter.com/ZhxepecygF

Stepping up on the main roster is nothing new for the 20-year-old s1n, who helped the team earn second-place honors at Fragadelphia 17 and third-place laurels in WePlay Academy League Season 5.
