BIG’s AWPer Florian “syrsoN” Rische won’t be participating in the upcoming Elisa Masters Espoo 2022 tournament due to COVID-19. The reports of his test came as positive after returning from the IEM Rio Major 2022. Josef “faveN” Baumann will be taking his spot in the active BIG’s lineup for the forthcoming event.
Update: unfortunately @syrsoNCSGO has tested positive for COVID-19 after returning from Rio. In his absence, we will be playing @ElisaEsports with @favenCS.
