Berlin International Gaming (BIG) and SkinBaron started working closely together in late 2019 and have now extended their partnership, continuing their collaboration of over six years.

At a time when the Counter-Strike community - particularly BIG's CS2 men's team - has had a challenging year, this extension sends an important message: SkinBaron stands by them. As well as supporting the pro team, SkinBaron backs BIG's Academy and women's teams, helping to nurture young talent.

Daniel Finkler, CEO, Berlin International Gaming: "I am incredibly pleased and grateful that we are extending our long-standing partnership with SkinBaron. SkinBaron has been a vital part of our journey for over six years, both during successful and challenging times. My special thanks go to Tobias Andro as the new CEO, as well as to Florian Eckstein, Tobias Herberhold, Hannes Scholdz, and all other shareholders, employees, and partners at SkinBaron. They have brought this partnership to life over the years and actively shaped it. We are proud to move into the future together with such a loyal and authentic partner."

Tobias Andro, CEO, SkinBaron: "Our partnership with BIG has stood for loyalty, trust, and collaboration on equal footing for over six years. Together, we share a vision of sustainably supporting the German esports scene and helping talent reach the top. This extension is therefore not only a commitment to our shared past, but above all a fresh start toward a future we want to shape side by side."

Berlin International Gaming (BIG) is a German-based esports organisation with professional teams competing in four top titles, including Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, Fortnite and Trackmania. Since launching in 2016, SkinBaron has grown to become one of the world's leading marketplaces for CS2 skins. Over 2.5 million users buy and sell CS2 skins on SkinBaron's website. The company is also located in Germany.
