This international team is changing its squad after an unimpressive six months.

Swedish organization 9INE have moved Kévin "misutaaa" Rabier and Alexandru "s0und" Ștefan to the bench and allowed both to seek new opportunities, it was announced on Sunday. This is the first step in the process of rebuilding the team towards the 2025 season.

After failing to build a competitive Polish team and selling most of the squad to ENCE, 9INE switched to an international model in May. They built the squad with names like misutaaa, Mateusz "mantuu" Wilczewski and Ismail "refrezh" Ali, all three have experience competing at a high level.

However, a win at FASTCUP CSGORUN Cup Season 1 and a runner-up finish at European Pro League Season 17 were rare bright spots in a difficult season for 9INE. The team reached its highest ranking of 56 in the world rankings last month.

Putting misutaaa and s0und on the bench leaves 9INE with three positions to fill. Previously, in October, the organization also parted ways with head coach Mikołaj "miNirox" Michałków, and currently has no replacement.

In a post on X, misutaaa expressed her determination to return to the top. "I really want to find a new home, work hard with the team and return to the big tournaments," the former Vitality member shared.

9INE's current lineup:

Poland: Mateusz "mantuu" Wilczewski

Denmark: Ismail "refrezh" Ali

Denmark: Rasmus "raalz" Steensborg

Bench:

France: Kévin "misutaaa" Rabier

Romania: Alexandru "s0und" Ștefan
