Biography

Elias “s1n” Stein (born May 24, 2001, Germany) is a professional Counter-Strike 2 player and the current in-game leader (IGL) for BIG. Known for his tactical depth, calm leadership, and strong individual fundamentals, s1n has steadily grown into one of the key figures in Germany’s Counter-Strike scene.

S1n began his professional career in 2020, playing for smaller regional teams before joining BIG Academy in January 2021. During his time in the academy system, he quickly demonstrated a sharp understanding of the game and strong leadership qualities, helping the academy team achieve top placements in WePlay Academy League tournaments. His ability to read opponents and maintain composure under pressure led to multiple call-ups to BIG’s main roster, where he began transitioning into a full-time IGL role.

In late 2022, s1n was officially promoted to the BIG main team, marking a major step in his career. Over time, he has balanced his dual responsibilities as an in-game leader and a reliable rifler, contributing both strategic structure and mechanical consistency. His playstyle is characterized by smart mid-round calls, disciplined positioning, and the ability to guide his team through complex tactical scenarios—traits that have earned him respect across the European CS2 scene.

Across more than 800 professional maps, s1n maintains a career Rating 2.0 around 1.05, with a KAST percentage of approximately 72%. His statistics reflect a player who prioritizes team play and structure over flashy individual highlights. Despite not being a primary star, his consistent performances and intelligent calling have anchored BIG’s competitive stability in multiple international tournaments.
