On November 22nd, 2024, fans watched day one of the Perfect World Shanghai Major Europe RMR B come to an end, with some teams disappointing and other teams uplifting the mood. The German squad, BIG, did the latter as they managed to win both of their best-of-one games against Sashi (13-9) and HEROIC (13-8). Now, they have a chance to make it straight to the Elimination stage if they manage to beat Passion UA the next day, an underdog team that bested Virtus.pro and Spirit while BIG dealt with Sashi and HEROIC.

JDC showing up so far

Partly the reason why BIG has had such a great start is thanks to their star player, Jon "⁠JDC⁠" de Castro, delivering as usual. He expressed much pride over the team’s day one results: “I think it gives us the confidence to realize that the work we're putting in is actually showing some benefits because those teams you need to beat in order to be a competitive Major team, in my eyes. If we want to go a longer way, a deeper run, which is our goal, we need to win those games. For us, it feels like a very big victory and you can see it after the game; we're screaming, we're happy, so a very nice game.”


 

Of course, it wasn’t all JDC’s doing, as BIG harbors other amazing players like Johannes "tabseN" Wodarz who has long been a force to be reckoned with in Germany’s CS scene. In this regard, JDC said: “I think tabseN and I are sometimes differing on a couple of things, but overall we agree on most parts. I think he's very smart; he looks at the game in a very unique way, which I hadn't experienced until I joined here. I think he's very clever regarding how to handle situations, how to play with utility, and all of that. But sometimes, I'm just a guy who wants to take a duel. Like yeah, I mean, it's pretty dumb, but I just want to trust my aim here. I think he's a great leader, and he's helping me develop in every aspect of the game.”

BIG Off To A Dream Start At Shanghai Major RMR

JDC, alongside his entire team, seems to be in a great mood after day one of the event and seems to be exhibiting zero nervousness about their big game (pun intended) tomorrow: “You can say we are favorites, but I think they're very good. They [Passion UA] won against us in the RMR qualifier to get here, and they won against us very convincingly. They are showing a very promising style of CS, and they're very strong, so even if you say we're favorites, I think we need to take the game seriously, respect them, and be fully sharp like we were today.”
