The German esports organization BIG has officially announced the release of coach Alexander ‘kakafu’ Szymanczyk. Former coach Sebastian ‘xenn’ Hoch from ALTERNATE aTTaX is stepping in as the interim head coach, as stated in an official announcement.

In a statement, kakafu expressed,

“I was sad that I didn’t get more time with the new roster. BIG will always be a part of me, and I wish everybody the best moving forward.”

xenn, who has experience leading ALTERNATE aTTaX during their notable presence at events, will aim to stabilize the team dynamics in this transitional period. Despite his previous success, BIG struggled to break into the top 10 ranks, which significantly contributed to the decisions surrounding the coaching changes.
