After Danny 'BERRY' Krüger officially joined us in late December, we're kicking off the new 2025 season with a fresh lineup ready to compete for those important Valve ranking points. The 2025 season will be one of the more interesting ones in recent years, with more LAN tournaments than ever to play and more prize money than in previous seasons to compete for.
The 9INE roster now consists of current team members Rasmus 'raalz' Steensborg and Mateusz 'mantuu' Wilczewski, and is completed with the additions of Josef 'faveN' Baumann, Jonatan 'bobeksde' Persson and Tobias 'kraghen' Kragh Jensen. With these changes, Ismail 'refrezh' Ali has been moved to the bench.
faveN most recently played for BLEED but had his upbringing in the German CS scene, where he linked up with BERRY in Sprout before moving to BIG in late 2021. The 24-year-old German joins us after a longer test period, during which he posted an impressive 1.19 rating.
The Swedish player bobeksde makes his first appearance on an international roster by joining us. The 21-year-old previously played for GODSENT before joining Johnny Speeds in the summer of 2024. bobeksde now officially joins us after contributing to several wins since early December.
The 22-year-old Dane, kraghen, joins us from Gaimin Gladiators after the full ECSTATIC roster was acquired by the Canadian organization following their successful major run at the 2024 Copenhagen Major. 9INE will be kraghen's first international team.
Black Friday is mostly about creating good deals for the consumers to be able to increase their spending. In contrast to consuming for your own good, this year we’re introducing the opposite of consumption for your own good; White Friday. But don’t despair, if you rather make a good deal on our apparel there’s still the regular Black Friday campaign for you.

We’re focusing our White Friday campaign on Movember to support their vital mission of raising awareness and improving men’s mental health. Movember goes beyond the mustache, tackling key issues like mental health struggles, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. By sparking conversations and funding life-changing programs, Movember empowers men to live healthier, happier lives.
Throughout the Black Weekend, we’ll not only be offering incredible deals but also shining a spotlight on men’s health. Every purchase you make on non-black appeal helps us amplify Movember’s message and contribute to a cause that saves lives. Together, we can make a real difference. Let’s grow, give, and support the men in our lives this Black and White Friday!
