BIG enters partnership with Babbel

Although we are a German organization, we are lucky to have fans from all over the globe, coming from different countries and cultures. All of us are united under the BIG banner as one large family, and find that we are all similar in our love for esports and gaming. Through Babbel, our fans will have the opportunity to take their knowledge even further, and learn new languages and words that will bring our community even closer together.

Not only will fans be introduced to the application through which they can learn languages, they will also find new interactive features on the streams of our players and streamers where they can engage with the stream and other fans in an educational way. Make sure to keep an eye out for further information about the activities and offers we will announce as part of our partnership.

Statement Daniel Finkler, CEO

Communication is critical to success in any team sport. We have managed many multinational teams in the past. In all these teams, clear communication between the different nationalities was often a significant challenge, which is still true today. Therefore, I am delighted to have Babbel, one of the leading providers for web-based language learning, as our partner. We will use the app internally with our professionals to support their language learning processes, which ultimately improves our team communication.
