BIG

The German team received an invitational to Atlanta according to ESL rankings. BIG has been a tier-2 team for a long time now, and there is no trace of its former greatness left. Although the old stars tabseN and syrsoN are still in the lineup, it will not be possible to return to the successful 2020. That's why the Germans are happy to receive invitations to Challengers and try to succeed at least at them.

The German organization strives to assemble a German squad, but does not refuse the help of foreigners. The four Germans were joined by rigoN, a former Bad News Eagles player. On the whole, BIG has an experienced team - tabseN and syrsoN demonstrated good online play during the coronavirus era, JDC went through MOUZ academy and with the main roster took prizes at the tier-1 level, Krimbo is considered a promising and talented riffler, the main hope of BIG today. The lineup is good on paper, but has proven to be dysfunctional in practice. In the last three months, BIG has a card balance of 22 wins to 26 losses, and in matches with top teams, all failures. Things are a little better at the tier-2 level, but not much. Germans do not pass open qualifications for major events, do not win trophies on the tier-2 stage, and remain a solid mediocre. BIG emphasizes discipline and team structure, but lacks creativity and individual performance. In terms of style, the Germans play about the same as the old version of Virtus.pro, and also lag behind the current meta in CS2.

ODDIK

This is the first time this team will travel outside of Brazil and compete at the international level. ODDIK may be familiar to fans of Brazilian CS2, they play on the tier-2 in the region, participates in all qualifications. The level of play is inferior to FURIA Esports, Imperial Esports, MIBR and paIN Gaming. Considering that this is the first LAN for the team, the organization hardly sets big and ambitious goals.

None of the ODDIK players have even come close to playing at this level. The team's most recent achievement was winning a local LAN tournament, Circuito Estadual FERJEE 2024, and the prize money of 28,000 thousand dollars. On the back of previous results, this is a colossal success. Individual player stats won't tell us absolutely nothing, but we can pay attention to the mapppool. In the last three months ODDIK has played 124 cards, 76 of which were won. The best winrates were shown on Anubis (74% for 27 cards) and Ancient (71% for 35 cards). The rest had winrates in the neighborhood of 40-55%, and let's remind that these are all matches on the Brazilian Dash-2 scene.

Let's be honest: the team is unknown, their statistics do not inspire confidence. Maybe they'll snag one or two cards in Atlanta, but it's not certain. ODDIK is definitely not expected in the playoffs of ESL Challenger DreamHack Atlanta 2024, the Brazilian roster is still very raw for this level.
