The notable Vietnamese team of Big BAAM has disbanded and has ceased all activities, as announced by the team on Facebook yesterday.
Initially starting from the ground up with the Steal Your Glory roster in 2021, Big BAAM was founded as a talent development group for Vietnamese players looking to compete internationally. According to their Facebook post, BAAM was never a professional organization and only was a team of talents looking to make a name for themselves, similar to other free agent rosters such as Moon Raccoons in North America.
Team Big BAAM was most notable in Stage 3 of the 2021 VCT, where their infamous roster finished top 6 in SEA Challengers Playoffs, and barely losing to the eventual tournament winners of Bren Esports in a multi-overtime game across both maps. They also since qualified to both play-ins for the 2022 VCT circuit.
Big BAAM’s run in Challengers SEA Knockouts, ending up with a top 6 finish.
In the time since their inception, 3 players from the Big BAAM name have since been exported internationally; those being Ngô “crazyguy” Công Anh to Nigma Galaxy, alongside Phan “gin” Văn Gin and Phạm “d0rf” Huỳnh Toàn Quốc to Alpha Esports Pro respectively; all Filipino based organizations. Gin competed on Team OK, a branch of Big BAAM.
After the departure of d0rf, the remaining roster said that they did not have any desire to compete internationally, and have parted ways as a result.
Following this announcement, Team Big BAAM have ceased their operations as an F/A talent group in VALORANT for an indefinite time. Before disbanding, the Team Big BAAM roster was:
Tran “Mowff” Đức Minh
Nguyễn “nTK” Tuan Kiệt
Nguyễn “P1nA2k4” Nam
Hoàng “Vizzz” Việt
Nhatthong2k
