Berlin International Gaming (BIG) is an association founded on January 2, 2017 German E-Sports - communities with players in currently six different games. The clan only consisted of one Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team (CS: GO team) when it was founded, but began adding more games to its portfolio on October 13, 2017. After a long period of purely international orientation, it was announced at the end of 2019 that they would again take part in the German championship in CS: GO. In 2018 and 2019, the organization won the Best National Team award from the German CS: GO scene site 99damage. In summer 2020 they reached number 1 in the HLTV world rankings.
