BIG were officially invited to ESL One: Cologne 2019

ESL recently announced that the Counter-Strike squad of team Berlin International Gaming (BIG) is returning for the next stop of ESL One that takes place in Germany. The epic announcement trailer calls BIG "the fan favorites" and shows off the team's glorious moments from previous events.

Team BIG was the runner-up of ESL One: Cologne 2018 that took place last summer. Since that time they made a roster change, replacing Johannes "nex" Maget with İsmailcan "XANTARES" Dörtkardeş. Here is the current roster of BIG:

• Fatih "gob b" Dayik
• Johannes "tabseN" Wodarz
• Tizian "tiziaN" Feldbusch
• Owen "smooya" Butterfield
• Ismailcan "XANTARES" Dörtkardeş
• Nikola "LEGIJA" Ninić (coach)

We are five months away from ESL One: Cologne 2019, and there is plenty of time for additional roster changes. The tournament kicks off on July 2nd and will be going on till July 7th. ESL has invited Natus Vincere, the winners of its previous CS:GO event in Germany, and is planning to extend invitations to ten other teams. There will also be four regional open qualifiers that will fill the roster of 16 teams participating in the tournament.
