9INE extend contracts with roster

23/5/2023 - 17:54

The organization aims to qualify for the PGL Copenhagen Major in 2024.

9INE have extended their contracts with their current lineup ahead of the transition to Counter-Strike 2. The stated aim is to qualify for the PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major in March 2024 and attend other high-tier competitions in 2023.

Wiktor "⁠mynio⁠" Kruk and company were signed by 9INE in August 2022 as the organization revived its CS:GO division after nine months of inactivity following the departure of their Swedish roster. The arrival of Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz in January pushed the Poles to new heights and they qualified for the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown and IEM Rio.

9INE brought back Polish CS to the Majors after a 3-0 run at the RMR

9INE's cohesive individuals and their tactical depth in maps such as Vertigo made the team skyrocket up the rankings from the No. 44 spot in January to their peak at No. 17.

Piotr "⁠nawrot⁠" Nawrocki's men recently became the first Polish team in nearly five years to qualify for a Valve-sponsored event after a flawless 3-0 run at the European RMR in April. However, they failed to replicate the same level of performance in the Legends stage of the Paris Major and left the event with a 0-3 record.

9INE coach: "Putting Polish CS back on the map in tier-one tournaments is really huge for us"

"We are thrilled to announce the re-signing of our full Polish roster, with a clear main objective: to qualify for the first CS2 major," the organization announced on Linkedin. "This team made history by becoming the first all-Polish roster to qualify for a major in half a decade. With their sights set on the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024, they are primed to qualify for two consecutive majors."

9INE have re-signed the following roster:

Kamil "⁠KEi⁠" Pietkun
Krzysztof "⁠Goofy⁠" Górski
Kacper "⁠Kylar⁠" Walukiewicz
Wiktor "⁠mynio⁠" Kruk
Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz

Piotr "⁠nawrot⁠" Nawrocki (coach)

2023-05-23 14:12

Cuz 9ine has better players on paper aside from iM mynio < siuchy hades > acor Kei > isak Kylar > Keoz Goofy < iM

2023-05-23 16:51

take a hint from your own countrymen comments right above and below yours.

2023-05-23 16:55

Acor> hades

2023-05-23 18:43

Maybe, but prime Hades > prime acor

2023-05-23 20:03

dk about man, when acor feels it he seems really good but hades takes consistency

2023-05-23 20:28

very good move

2023-05-23 13:33

“ the organization announced on Linkedin. ” Who tf uses Linkedin to announce CS roster moves 💀

2023-05-23 13:38

apparently not russia

2023-05-23 13:41

2023-05-23 13:46

they didn’t announce any roster moves smh

2023-05-23 21:11

Announcing that you’re re-signing a team is literally a roster move

2023-05-24 01:10

It's literally the same roster dawg

2023-05-24 10:17

It doesn’t matter, look at professional sports. A roster move is any transaction related to the teams roster including its own players. You can go to any NFL team’s website and look at “Roster moves or transactions” you’ll notice how it includes their own players they’ve re-signed. Either way this ain’t my main point, using LinkedIn to announce this whatever you wanna define it as is funny it’s almost always Twitter

2023-05-24 16:36

Love to see it

2023-05-23 13:51

Nine Nine!!

Why i always read 9 in german in my mind

2023-05-25 06:33

Random ass guess You're learning German atm. I was referring to B99

2023-05-25 07:39

yeap, now we can chill 2 years in a row and brag that we're the only polish team that made it to legends stage in relevant cs meta

2023-05-23 13:54

If these lads keep at it and aren't forced to change the roster numerous times because of underperformance, they can become the pride of Polish CS (don't worry Dycha, Siuhy, Krasnal, etc. you are also loved ♡) As a Jerman with a Polish root, I say: Idźcie, moi bracia! Pieprzyć ich!

I hope you grow as a person

2023-05-23 21:21

I aim to please.

2023-05-23 22:48

Its re-signed not resigned

+1, now it sounds like they dropped them

2023-05-23 15:42

They have to work extremely hard on their map pool. At the moment they have only 2 maps where they can challenge top tier teams. Far to little to compete at highest level. Paris major exposed it all. Contract extension should help as they can focus on relevant things rather than stressing about losing their job.

2023-05-23 14:18

good

2023-05-23 14:23

NOICE

2023-05-23 14:37

If they fix inferno or ancient and get a bit better on mirage, they would be top 10 for sure

2023-05-23 14:54

2023-05-23 15:03

very good

2023-05-23 15:15

2023-05-23 16:17

re-signed not resigned

2023-05-23 16:20

rizzolini kekw

2023-05-23 20:42

team that can only play 2 maps

2023-05-23 16:21

now they are like Tier 1 team now. so it make sense to extend.

2023-05-23 16:44

still tier 2, gamer legion and apeks are also tier 2. Anyway with 9ine nothing suprising 100k ppl on some PL streams, great sponsors from Poland; kinguin, bitskins propably they can get more so let them grind They are top team on Nuke (top 3 here propably) and vertigo ( best team), they are also good on anubis, but they have to grind on overpass and inferno
