Under the terms of the agreement, Razed branding will feature prominently on the front of official BIG team jerseys. Beyond competitive exposure, the deal focuses on digital content creation designed to highlight players’ personalities outside of gameplay. Additionally, Razed will support BIG CLUB, BIG’s official CS2 community hub on FACEIT, which according to the organisation currently counts over 130,000 members.

“With Razed, we have a partner by our side who is ready to break new ground with us in content and storytelling,” said Daniel Finkler, CEO of BIG. “We are very excited that Razed is now expanding its commitment to esports by becoming the main partner of our BIG CS2 team. This is a strong sign of trust in our organisation and our vision. Together, we want to leverage our international reach and create formats that truly excite the community.”
