The Swedish esports Organization 9INE signed an all-Polish roster back in August. Most of the players had played together before under the Anonymo banner.

Just two months into the project, 9INE can already celebrate their first big victory. Ahead of teams such as Sprout, HEET, forZe, and Bad News Eagles, 9INE won the ESL Challenger Season 42 Europe tournament. Alongside $20,000 in cash, the team also secured a spot in the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference.

In the Grand Final, 9INE managed to turn 0-2 into a 3-2 victory against BLUEJAYS. The best player on the server was Kamil 'KEi' Pietkun, who reached 102 kills during the match.

20-year-old Kamil "⁠KEi⁠" Pietkun has said his goodbyes to his now-former teammates on Sprout, after expressing his desire to join a new project in his home country Poland.

The roster changes for Sprout come after a successful end to 2021, where the German Organization qualified for the upcoming ESL Pro League Conference League with a win at ESEA Premier Season 39.

Sprout

The former Anonymo player has found a new team. His arrival completes Sprout’s five-man lineup, following the departure of Marko "kressy" Đorđević.

KEi spent most of 2021 in Anonymo, where they reached a peak world ranking of No. 32. In July, he stepped down from the team, claiming that he didn't feel comfortable, but he still helped them qualify for ESL Pro. Sprout has made a couple of replacements and brought in BERRY as a coach on Saturday. The team will communicate in English moving forward.

We are getting close to the Summer break, where all competitive Counter-Strike takes a hiatus for a month. But before then, there have already been some roster moves.

On two Polish teams, there will be changes going forward.

On Izako Boars two new players were announced yesterday to fill in the spots of Hubert "⁠Szejn⁠" Światły and Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek, who joined the new mousesports academy project two weeks ago. It will be Arek "⁠Vegi⁠" Nawojski and Karol "⁠Enzo⁠" Lasota who will be the new faces of Izako Boars. Both of the players join Boars on a free transfer.

At Anonymo Kamil "⁠KEi⁠" Pietkun has asked to benched after "different perception about certain aspects", he explains in a TwitLonger post.

The team is now looking to replace KEi, and has announced that they will try out players in the near future. Anonymo is currently ranked 47th in the world.

Double Poney continues their lower bracket run at Flashpoint 3 after a 2-1 victory against Anonymo.

The two teams won their own map pick comfortably to set up a decider on Nuke.

Here Anonymo got off to the best start leading 9-6 at the break. A well-playing Aurélien 'afro' Drapier kept the Frenchmen in the game with the AWP and AUG in his hands. At 12-12, the two teams started trading rounds in a nerve-wracking ending to the match, where it was the smallest of margins that made the difference. Anonymo had the chance to close off the match at 15-14, but Double Poney managed to force the match to overtime.

The Frenchmen turned up the heat in OT, and simply ran over the Poles. They ended the OT with a perfect boost, which gave them the entry kill to seal the deal.

Double Poney will now face BIG in the next match in the lower bracket, while Anonymo is eliminated from the main tournament. The Poles will now fight for extra RMR points in the 9-12th place decider.
