BIG Are in a Decent Spot
BIG have been enjoying a fairly successful season for their standards. They have won four smaller tournaments, which include HLC Cyprus PRO in April.
Since then, they’ve placed second in CCT Season 3 European Series #20, fourth in CCT Season 3 Global finals, and made semifinals of NODWIN Clutch Series #7.
The German team also featured at Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major 2026, where BIG placed 17th-19th after a 3-2 run through Stage 1 and 2-3 in Stage 2. Despite the early elimination from the Major, BIG showed good things and found success against paiN Gaming, MIBR, Gaimin Gladiators, THUNDERdOWNUNDER, and NRG.
Overall, BIG have not accomplished anything exceptional, but they have been holding on well and look ready for a deep run in the XSE Pro League.

Lynn Vision Gaming Appear Weak
Lynn Vision Gaming enter XSE Pro League as a replacement invite for M80 and one of the weaker teams in attendance. The Chinese squad have, however, found some success this season.
They’ve won three tournaments since March, including the Asian Champions League, but they were far less successful in bigger events, with a ninth-12th place finish at CS Asia Championships and 25th-27th at IEM Cologne Major.
Notably, Lynn Vision have beaten HEROIC and Sharks in the Major, but lost to M80, MIBR, and TYLOO, which are much better indications of how they will fare against the level of opponents at XSE Pro League.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 5 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | TYLOO | 0-2 (L) |
| June 4 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | MIBR | 0-2 (L) |
| June 3 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | Sharks Esports | 13-5 (W) |
| June 2 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | HEROIC | 13-11 (W) |

Verdict
BIG are heavily favoured to defeat Lynn Vision Gaming, which, considering the teams’ past showings, makes sense. But as unsuccessful as Lynn Vison might’ve been in bigger events, they’ve also proven that they can bite.
Playing on home soil and in a BO1 definitely helps, and even though their map pool isn’t perfect, Lynn Vision are decent on Ancient, Nuke, and Dust II, so they are likely going to play on at least a somewhat comfortable map.
BIG should win, but Lynn Vision can do damage.
