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:

Poland Kamil "⁠KEi⁠" Pietkun
Poland Krzysztof "⁠Goofy⁠" Górski
Poland Kacper "⁠Kylar⁠" Walukiewicz
Poland Wiktor "⁠mynio⁠" Kruk

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

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!

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.

I am not saying they are weak or something like that, but if they want to get stable tier 1 they need to get more than 2 very good maps. 9ine have amazing vertingo, very okey nuke and mirage, but on other maps they don't feel very confident imo. I was talking about only tier1 tournaments with top of the top teams. Sry for my eng byniu
