9INE part ways with mhL, move KukuBambo to academy roster

New coach miNirox will oversee a second rebuild in as many months around KEI and mynio.

mhL will return to Falcons after his short loan spell

9INE have removed two players from their active lineup, citing "a lack of a unified vision and insufficient experience" as the key issues behind their failure to advance to the PGL Major Copenhagen closed qualifiers.

Miłosz "⁠mhL⁠" Knasiak will return to Falcons' bench after a termination of his loan deal. On X/Twitter, the Polish AWPer said that the decision was mutual, citing a "difference of vision in the team."

18-year-old rifler Kacper "⁠Bambosh⁠" Szlachta, who was Álvaro "⁠SunPayus⁠" García' bold prediction in 2023, will be kept on 9INE's books but takes a step down to 9INE Academy as the first confirmed piece of a rebuild led by Patryk "⁠ponczek⁠" Wites.

nawrot departs 9INE

New coach Mikołaj "⁠miNirox⁠" Michałków, who replaced Piotr "⁠nawrot⁠" Nawrocki when he stepped down due to personal issues, will now head the hunt for two new players as 9INE attempt to climb back up the rankings.

The Polish side have struggled since ENCE poached their core, failing to make it out to the RMR and losing all four maps they played in YaLLa Compass Spring.

9INE are:

Poland Wiktor "⁠mynio⁠" Kruk
Poland Kamil "⁠KEi⁠" Pietkun
Poland Tomasz "⁠tomiko⁠" Uroda

not like there are any other options, and plus he’d probably do better in full polish and in a different role instead of anchoring which he sucks at.

If I was F1KU I would hold onto OG for as long as I possibly can It might hamper his career long term, but he'll have to go back to the Polish scene to rebuild his stock as a player anyway I think

If it would right after Kylar, goofy and hades left they would probably consider this as solid option, but with state 9ine is in rn, I doubt any of them will join.

Seems like a pretty good decision to me, mhL has shown potential, but honestly, he has been showing potential ever since appearing on the scene, but was never able to find the consistency, which has been a big problem, and KukuBambo was just terrible let's be honest, academy is his plays for now, he is clearly not ready yet. I'm surprised that they are staying with tomiko honestly, I think he has been pretty meh, if they're going for a rebuild I'd just stay with mynio and KEi, but we will see, overall seems like a neccessary and good move from 9INE. GL in the rebuild.

mynio isn't a good player individually for sure, but it's tough to find good IGLs in Poland that aren't in international team, so for now I guess they have to go with him, and it's not like KEi is some insanely consistent super star, but he is pretty good, does his job, I think these are the 2 key parts you have to keep to have a good rebuild.

guy needs to find a stable T2/T3 team to play more often after all he had 1.08 rating during his falcons journey so it means he holds some potential to match/overcome hades as #1 polish awp. however its not going to be easy to find any team rn. also theres mantuu on the market to be picked up so for many potential orgs he would be their priority target over mhL

mhL definitely didn't look like himself in this team, so no wonder he wanted to leave. Sobol is a clear upgrade over Bambosh and slots perfectly into his roles, so hopefully they get him. Obviously a man can dream about mantuu, but he deserves a better team, flayy would be great, but Rebels won't implode quickly enough
