BIG have secured their second win in as many matches at the PGL Major Krakow 2017 after defeating Cloud9 16-11 on Inferno.

Cloud9 and BIG faced off on Inferno in the second round of the Swiss stage after both of them won their first games. Cloud9 who started on the CT-side won the pistol round but BIG were able to plant the bomb. With the money they earned from the plant, BIG executed on the A-site in the second round and made it 1-1.

BIG won eight rounds in a row to lead 8-1 before Cloud9 could answer with a 2vs3 win (8-2). However, the economy of Cloud9 was reset when they lost the following round as BIG took the A-site. Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham's quad kill in the fourteenth round gave Cloud9 their third round and they went on to trail 3-12 at halftime.
