1/2/ · Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield has stepped down from BIG's active roster following a mutual decision to part ways, with Johannes "⁠nex⁠" Maget set to return to the team.. In the announcement, smooya and BIG's Head of CS, Nikola "⁠LEGIJA⁠" Ninić, explained the reason for the split, with differences in playstyles being among the core issues that led to the British player's departure. If BIG fail in Kato, which is very possible, it will make it look as though smooya’s absence was a massive factor even if that is not the case, while a success won’t reflect badly on him due to XANTARES’s addition. All in all, this could turn out to be great for smooya, and reports of his demise have been greatly exaggerated indeed.

First and foremost, consider the caliber of player that the year old phenom is — having taken lofty strides into competitive Counter-Strike with Team Endpoint and Epsilon prior to being welcomed onto BIG.

Smooya climbed up the rankings quickly as a result of his steady performances and intensity that helped set the tone for the teams he played on.

Surely, Smooya is on the radar in his current inactive state considering the dexterity he carries in-game, but who will be the ones to approach him with a worthwhile offer?

Travelling across the Atlantic to play Counter-Strike is an ambitious play, one we wager Smooya will be cautious in accepting if he decides to go that route; with that, a player of his stature is going to be able to command a decent salary and of course, you must consider that unless an organization waits until his contract with BIG has expired, those looking to buy in to this player will be looking at a buyout.
