The junior team of the German organisation BIG gets a new coach. A big step in the right direction for the German Counter-Strike hope.
The former Space Soldiers player Tugay “TuGuX” Keskin will be the new coach for the BIG. OMEN Academy Team. It is the first time in the history of the team that the young players have their own coach.
With the addition, the previous coach Fatih “gob b” Dayik will still not retire completely from the team. However, he will take over more tasks in management and for the main roster of the organisation.
We are excited to announce the arrival of @TuGuXCS as the head coach for our BIG. @OMENbyHP_de Academy team! Please give him a warm welcome!

Old acquaintance
TuGuX has already played in the Space Soldiers together with İsmailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş There he was ingameleader, which predestined him for the role as coach. So he is no stranger to the team.
Furthermore, he was already part of some German teams at Counter-Strike: Source times, including Mousesports. There he already got to know gob b. Now the two are getting back together in non-player roles.
What can you expect?
In any case the 99Damage-League will continue to be stirred up. Already in the last season the team became fourth in the top division. The goal for next time must be victory. The team also plays smaller international tournaments. Here, a promotion to Tier 3 tournaments would definitely be desirable.
