9INE bench two players

Swedish esports organization 9INE has announced roster changes in its Counter-Strike 2 lineup. The team has benched Kévin "misutaaa" Rabier and Alexandru "s0und" Ștefan and put them up for transfer. The announcement was shared on 9INE's official X account.

Both players joined 9INE in May 2024. Over the past three months, misutaaa achieved an average rating of 1.07 across 111 maps, while s0und posted a slightly lower rating of 1.04. The organization has yet to reveal who will fill the vacant positions in the roster.

This shake-up follows another major change in October, when 9INE parted ways with head coach Mikołaj "miNirox" Michałków. Shortly afterward, the team signed Danny "BERRY" Krüger, the former SAW coach, on a short-term contract.

In 2024, 9INE has not participated in any LAN tournaments. The team’s most notable achievement this year was winning the FASTCUP CSGORUN Cup Season 1 in September. However, they did not compete in the qualifiers for the Shanghai Major. As of now, 9INE is ranked 67th in the HLTV World Ranking.

 9INE are now:

 Ismail "refrezh" Ali
 Rasmus "raalz" Steensborg
 Mateusz "⁠mantuu⁠" Wilczewski
