The German organization Berlin International Gaming (BIG) has officially ended its cooperation with Can “kyuubii” Ali. The 20-year-old riefler leaves after 12 months of rotations between the main roster and the youth team. Despite an ambitious transfer from Fnatic’s inactivation in January 2025, the player failed to gain a foothold in the elite.
Key milestones of kyuubii as part of BIG:
-
Shooting Gallery-1 experience: Performances at IEM Katowice 2025 and PGL Astana 2025 are at the core.
-
Local successes: Second place at YaLLa Compass Winter 2025 and MESA Nomadic Masters Spring 2025.
-
Academic cycle: Top-4 finish at United21 Season 41 and bronze at DACH CS Masters Season 4.
Taking into account the statistics, the transfer of a player to the BIG Academy in August was a natural result of poor performance against top teams. In his farewell post, kyuubii admitted that the line-up did not meet expectations, and the parties parted ways. At the moment, the main BIG roster occupies only the 45th place in the Valve (VRS) rating, which requires radical personnel decisions in the first quarter of 2026.
The situation in the youth sector of the organization looks even more alarming: BIG Academy is not even in the top 250 of the world ranking. The vacant position in the squad remains open, and Ali himself is busy looking for a new team. Against the background of the men’s roster crisis, only the BIG EQUIPA women’s roster, which holds positions in the global top, remains stable.
It should be added that the club’s management plans to close the deal on the new player by the end of January. Based on this, fans should expect an announcement in the coming weeks. If you dig deeper, kyuubii’s departure is an attempt by BIG to optimize the payroll and refresh the roster before the qualifications of the new season.

BIG Academy 2025: Why the “German school” will bury the CS2 transfer market
While the rich men from Saudi Arabia are burning 7-digit sums to buy out burned-out stars, Berlin International Gaming is pulling off an elegant “anschluss” of the shooting gallery-2 scene. tabseN and the company aren’t just playing Counter-Strike — they’ve built a cynical pipeline where BIG Academy acts as a ruthless filter. Catch the inside: in 2025, the talent self-sufficiency model reached its peak, turning external transfers into a meaningless vestige.
German Order: Economy at 0 Euros
The organization sews a tactical code into the subcortex of young animals at the selection stage. This is not just training, but strategic selection.:
-
Zero risk: The integration of Krimbo and hyped has proven that the system is more stable than a Swiss watch.
-
Information Gain: Instead of adapting an outsider, the club gets a ready-made “soldier” who knows every timing on Inferno.
-
Total control: The cost of such reinforcement for the budget is 0, which allows you to spend resources on the analytical staff, rather than on agency commissions.
| Operator | Specialization | Combat Coefficient | Zone of Dominance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Can “kyuubi” Ali | Flexible aggressor / space-maker | 1.15 Impact | Inferno / Overpass |
| The Iron Anchor | Hold-focused / stability | 1.09 Rating | Ancient / Mirage |
| Late-round Predator | Clutch specialist | 80% 1v1 winrate | Vertigo / Anubis |
1. Kyuubii: Aggression as an Art
Can Ali, better known as kyuubii, is not just a riffler. To be honest, his style is controlled chaos. At the heart of BIG, he will close the position of an aggressive entryist who cares about exchanges. His transition is only a matter of time and one strong—willed decision by the leadership.
2. Anchorage Master
The Academy churns out players who can single-handedly take the exit to point B. It’s a boring but critical job.
The basis: The team gets predictability. While the leaders are creative, this guy keeps his guard tight.
The result: Unloading tabseN, who no longer needs to patch holes in the protection with his body.
3. Cold-blooded Door Closer
The final candidate is an advantage—playing specialist. In the BIG system, where each round is scheduled as if by notes, his ability not to flinch in a 1-in-2 situation in the last seconds is appreciated more than any headshot.
