mantuu leaves 9INE: "I promise I will soon be ready for the next chapter"

The Polish AWPer is open to opportunities while he recovers from an arm fracture.

mantuu announces his free agency

Mateusz "⁠mantuu⁠" Wilczewski has announced that his contract with 9INE has expired, ending his 14-month association with the Swedish organization.

The news comes as mantuu is recovering from a broken arm, an injury sustained at the beginning of June after the Tipsport Conquest of Prague Finals loss to fnatic. His timetable for a return to competition is unclear.

In a post on X, the 27-year-old AWPer revealed that he is looking for opportunities to keep himself busy while on his road to recovery.

"I'm open to joining an org as a content creator, documenting my rehab, life without CS, and path back to pro play in the coming months," he wrote.

"I'm also available for analyst roles for both teams and tournament organisers."

mantuu joined 9INE in May 2024, when the Swedish organization signed an international roster after supporting all-Polish rosters for two years. With his departure, Rasmus "⁠raalz⁠" Steensborg is the only remaining player of the initial roster.

mantuu averaged a 1.08 rating during his time on 9INE, who were just one spot shy of breaking into the top 30 in the VRS in March.

In his social media post, he thanked the CS community "for the amazing support" during this hard time. "I promise I will soon be ready for the next chapter," he wrote.

9INE are now:

Denmark Rasmus "⁠raalz⁠" Steensborg
Germany Josef "⁠faveN⁠" Baumann
Denmark Tobias "⁠kraghen⁠" Kragh Jensen
Poland Jan "⁠cej0t⁠" Dyl

Denmark Danny "⁠BERRY⁠" Krüger (coach)

Not going to lie, the X-ray of that arm looked rough. Hope it still manages to heal well sooner than later.

it looks like life long damage, I have friend with similar xray and there is not much hope for full function but for mantuu I hope it is better soon enough.

Anyone's guess, really. Some kind of a big fall is the most likely, but that kind of an injury could be caused by just about any source of major impact.

Astronomically long fall from tier 1 to tier 3.

Wouldn't be that bad. Hades can be second caller (idk if 9ine has one already) and give a lot firepower in tier2. Seems like good move for both sides

What are the contract stipulations that give them the right to release him instead of benching him until it expires? No arm injuries?
