The two outfits have yet to meet this season, promising an exciting affair as the teams face a new opponent. However, despite there being no past H2H records to look at, BIG are billed as firm favourites, as they've had a chance to practice against more challenging opponents in the recently finished PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025.

Whether that will help them overcome SINNERS is up for debate, but it is fair to mention that BIG have not looked too convincing since the turn of the year.

This will mark the first clash between BIG and SINNERS since 2023.

SINNERS Esports had a very promising start to the 2025 season, as they made semifinals at Frost and Fire Europe and CCT Season 2 European Series #16. Since then, they've exited Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2025: European Open Qualifier in last place and failed to show much in CCT Season 2 European Series #17 and Series #18 with 17th-19th and 20th-22nd-place finishes.

Form-wise, things do not look much better, as SINNERS Esports have managed just three wins from their last seven games against Fire Flux, PARIVISION, and NAVI Junior. On the other hand, they've lost to GUN5, PARIVISION, ECSTATIC, and OG.

BIG defeated Roller Coaster in the first round of PGL Bucharest 2025: European Qualifier; however, it was not pretty, as they needed 23 rounds on Mirage (13-10) and overtime on Ancient (16-14) to walk away victorious.

It marked their third victory over a five-game stretch, including two against FlyQuest (2-1) and Wildcard (2-1), during their short and hugely unsuccessful campaign at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025. At the tournament, BIG lost to Eternal Fire (0-2), MOUZ (0-2), and Astralis (0-2).

With those results, BIG are 4-6 from their last 10, and while they deserve some slack for losing to EF, Astralis, and MOUZ, the German outfit also dropped series against BC.Game and 500, so perhaps they're not as solid as BIG are portrayed to be.

Verdict

SINNERS Esports v BIG

BIG are billed as firm favourites for this match, which likely has to do with brand recognition and the fact that they've recently attended PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025. However, BIG did not accomplish much at the tournament, so their participation means very little.

SINNERS Esports should not be favoured for this match, as they are too shaky to feel confident about their chances to beat BIG unless the German outfit choke. However, with a better win rate on Mirage, Inferno, Train, and Anubis, SINNERS should be able to pick up at least one map.
