The Swedish organization 9INE has announced the benching of IGL of its Counter-Strike 2 roster Wiktor "mynio" Kruk. The Pole spent more than a year with 9INE.

Mynio became a part of the club when 9INE signed the Polish squad Illuminar. Under his leadership, the team started quite briskly, reached the playoffs of online tournaments and even won the ESL Challenger League Season 42 Europe.

However, the real success of the Polish five began with the arrival of an experienced AWPer Aleksander "hades" Miskiewicz. 9INE took first place at the BLAST.tv Major Paris 2023: European RMR B, which guaranteed them participation in the first major in the organization's history.

Due to this achievement, the Poles began to receive invitations to major LAN tournaments, where they have not performed very well recently. In addition to not the best team results, mynio can also be blamed for his weak individual form: over the past three months, his rating has been only 5.3.

It is not yet known who will replace mynio. In the last round of the ESL Challenger League Season 46: Europe, the team's coach Piotr "nawrot" Nawrocki took the role of captain.
