BIG suspend women's CS2 division

BIG have suspended its female Counter-Strike 2 division for an "indefinite period", according to an official announcement published on X.

The team manager commented on the organization’s decision:

We wanted to hold on and believed that tournaments were coming, like everyone had said and promised. For five months, we waited and hoped, played male tournaments, showed ourselves, talked with all the big and small TOs… but everyone was just talking…

To be fair to our amazing players, we have decided to pause the project so they can get different sponsors for their streams and earn more money, which they all deserve.

Earlier this year, Mia "aiM" Cooper and Sofia "sosya" Vasileva joined BIG EQUIPA, replacing Wiktoria "vicu" Janicka and Alexandra "kyossa" Tykhonska.

BIG EQUIPA were named the best women’s Counter-Strike 2 team of 2025 by HLTV.org, while Myline-Joy "ASTRA" Champliaud was crowned the female esports athlete of the year. The team currently sits 238th in Valve's ranking.

 BIG EQUIPA were:

 Mayline-Joy "⁠ASTRA⁠" Champliaud
 Hania "⁠Hanka⁠" Pudlis
 Emma "⁠Emmsan⁠" Mattsson
 Mia "aiM" Cooper
 Sofia "sosya" Vasilieva
