9z sign Brazilian duo

levi and urban0 finalize 9z's return to a South American roster.

urban0 is one of the two new players in 9z

9z has announced the signing of ex-W7M players Guilherme "⁠levi⁠" Gustavo and Lucas "⁠urban0⁠" Urbano, who round out the team's roster in a return to a fully South American five following the departure of Antonio "⁠MartinezSa⁠" Martinez and the benching of Adam "⁠adamS⁠" Marian.

MartinezSa finalizes Iberian Soul roster

The news of 9z's new players doesn't come as a surprise, as Dust2 Brazil had reported on the move on July 12. The newcomers were teammates on W7M, and remained together after the organization pulled out of Counter-Strike in May.

Media: 9z to replace European duo

levi will be tasked with manning the big green, while urban0 will rifle alongside, Matias "⁠HUASOPEEK⁠" Ibañez Hernandez, Luca "⁠Luken⁠" Nadotti and in-game leader Maximiliano "⁠max⁠" Gonzalez.

9z are yet to play a match since their failed bid to reach ESL Pro League Season 22 through the South American qualifier earlier in July, and will now be playing with the new roster in the ACE South America Masters Season 2 online qualifier for BLAST Open London.

9z is now:

Maximiliano "⁠max⁠" Gonzalez
Matias "⁠HUASOPEEK⁠" Ibañez Hernandez
Luca "⁠Luken⁠" Nadotti
Guilherme "⁠levi⁠" Gustavo
Lucas "⁠urban0⁠" Urbano

Bruno "⁠BIT⁠" Fukuda Lima (coach)

Adam "⁠adamS⁠" Marian (benched)

9z downfall needs to be studied

2025-07-27 17:00

Poor management and they took the project to Europe for a roster that was not prepared

2025-07-27 17:18

If these guys are any good I expect them to join paiN in the next 8-16 months. If they arent well the 9z downfall continues

sad downfall

2025-07-27 17:08

I forgot this team existed

this signing is so bad and embarrassing, that they didnt even put their names in the title

2025-07-27 17:11

this team will never return to its old heights. adding br will only destroy them from within.
