On December 21st 2024, BIG announced that they would be parting ways with their Swiss rifler, Rigon "⁠rigoN⁠" Gashi going into 2025 despite being on the team for only six months. While rigoN did have a rough start on the team, it was natural as anyone joining a new time takes time to get used to the dynamic.

BIG’s coach, Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz, said at the time: “Definitely, I'm really proud of him because he gives a lot of input. We had a bootcamp, and we're trying to implement him a lot in our system. Of course, he had a completely different way of playing the game. He was a really aggressive style of player, and we don't actually need that, but sometimes he can bring the spiciness.”


 

Didn’t turn out so well

While there were highs to the roster, beating out great teams, they failed to bring home a trophy for the next six months. Their last chance was at the Perfect World Shanghai Major where hope seems to have still been there, given that the team were able to qualify from the RMR. Even Jon "⁠JDC⁠" de Castro said that rigoN "is trying his best to implement into the system while we try our best to activate his craziness," but in the end, it was not to be. BIG reached the top 16 at the Perfect World Shanghai Major beating Passion UA, Virtus.pro and Complexity along the way, but were eventually no match for HEROIC, G2, and paiN in the Elimination Stage.

On the other hand, rigoN has taken this well, posting the following on X (formerly Twitter): “After an intense and unforgettable journey, it's time for me to say goodbye. This chapter has been filled with ups and downs that have shaped me not only as a player but also as a person. Together we gave it our all, but unfortunately, things didn’t work out as I had envisioned. I am grateful for the incredible moments, the support from the team and the fans, and the opportunity to be part of this. My journey continues and it's the start of something greater. I will be back better, more sharp, and ready to show what I'm truly capable of. ”
