BIG Academy completely revamped their project by adding 27-year-old Montenegrin player Maden as their new in-game leader. Maden previously played for fnatic, where he spent time on the bench before briefly representing illwill as a free agent.

Alongside the roster addition, the organization brought in sprayxd to take over coaching duties. He steps into the position previously held by Spiidi, who stepped down to focus entirely on his ongoing studies.

The updated BIG Academy lineup features Maden, Hrdina, doni, aZe, and prosus. Notably, prosus has frequently moved between the main roster and the academy squad since 2023.
