BIG and Skinbaron extend partnership
Since November 2019 BIG fans have been introduced to one of the largest marketplaces for digital items. Being able to sell and purchase skins and other cosmetics are quintessential for Counter-Strike fans, and SkinBaron has provided them with a safe and trustworthy environment to do so.
Connected not only by their German roots, but by co-founder Tobias Herberhold who acted as BIG’s head coach between 2019 and 2021, BIG and SkinBaron have decided to extend their cooperation for another two years and continue delivering content and value to Counter-Strike fans.
Statement Daniel Finkler, CEO Berlin International Gaming
It is with great pleasure that we announce the extension of our partnership with SkinBaron for a further two years. SkinBaron has been a partner of ours for a long time and we have a particularly deep connection with them. Tobias "tow b" Herberhold, their CEO, used to coach our CS:GO team reaching the number one spot globally and will continue to support us with SkinBaron. That is something very special and we feel honored to be the partner of one of the world’s leading skin marketplaces.
Statement Tobias Herberhold, CEO SkinBaron
We are very happy to continue our cooperation with BIG. The past years have been marked by great success and we are looking forward to the years to come. Due to my past as a coach at BIG, there is a very special connection between SkinBaron and BIG since then and we are confident that we will celebrate further successes together in the future!
