phzy joins 9INE on loan
The Swedish AWPer returns to his former home after less than a month on the bench.

9INE have announced that they have completed the signing of Love "phzy" Smidebrant on a loan deal from Wildcard until the end of the season. The Swedish AWPer rounds out 9INE's roster following Jan "cej0t" Dyl's addition to the lineup during the off-season.
phzy takes over AWPing duties from Mateusz "mantuu" Wilczewski, who was released at the start of this month after 14 months with the Swedish organization. The Polish AWPer is currently recovering from a broken arm sustained in June.

phzy had been on the lookout for a new team to represent since the start of July, when he and Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz were benched by Wildcard. He averaged a 1.14 rating while playing under the North American organization, making his final appearance for the team in the first stage of the Austin Major.
The move marks phzy's return to 9INE, whom he represented at the start of his career. He went on to play for Young Ninjas, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Sangal and Rare Atom before linking up with Wildcard in July 2024.
"Happy to have joined 9INE again, one of my first organizations when I started playing," phzy wrote on X. "It feels good to be back around great people and great teammates.
"Excited to be back on the server this soon. Let's get to work."
phzy featured for 9INE as a stand-in in the RES Showdown 2 Nordics Open Qualifier and in CCT Season 3 Europe Series 4. On Friday, the team will take on Tricked in their second match in the CCT tournament.
