9INE announces a new international lineup
9INE announces a fresh international lineup after proudly representing the Polish scene in the previous years.
The new roster features Mateusz "mantuu" Wilczewski, Ismail "refrezh" Ali, Kévin "misutaaa" Rabier, Rasmus "raalz" Steensborg and Alexandru "s0und" Ștefan.
9INE have built quite the reputation after their successful run at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 with a Polish squad. Since then, ENCE have acquired the core players including star AWPer Aleksander "hades" Miskiewicz, Kacper "Kylar" Walukiewicz and Krzysztof "Goofy" Górski.
Since the departure of the Polish core, the organization has been in search of a new identity and settled for an international lineup to adapt to today's meta, according to their Chief Gaming Officer.
“After the departure of our Polish core, we decided to adapt to today's meta by building an international roster, ensuring we don't limit our talent pool to a single nation. Following extensive discussions and a rigorous trial process, we are proud to present a lineup with immense potential, made possible by our competent coaching staff and team management.” - Adam Videll, Chief Gaming Officer.

Also, “refrezh” who was under Casper "cadiaN" Møller’s leadership when they lifted the ESL Pro League Season 13 trophy with Heroic.
Additionally, “misutaaa” who played for Team Vitality, rising to the tier one scene and lifting three trophies alongside the French organization. On top of his short time with the Falcons and Into The Breach.
While “raalz” and “s0und” are the unsung heroes of the team, they both boast quite the resume with teams from their respective countries. With “raalz” representing many Danish organizations such as Copenhagen Flames and Sprout.
On paper, the lineup is solid with many talents who couldn’t find longevity with their previous teams, waiting to see them rock inside of the server.
9INE’s roster now consists of:
- Mateusz "mantuu" Wilczewski
- Ismail "refrezh" Ali
- Kévin "misutaaa" Rabier
- Rasmus "raalz" Steensborg
- Alexandru "s0und" Ștefan
- Mikołaj "miNirox" Michałków as a coach
