BIT credits 9z’s recent success to deep study of PARIVISION’s play and to standout individual performances, noting the team’s win comes on the back of strong form and a solid track record, including a Stage 2 invite to the IEM Cologne Major.

The long-term plan is to keep testing themselves against the world’s best, with upcoming events like the Major, PGL Astana, and a China event as benchmarks, all aimed at peaking for Cologne later in the year.

BIT and the coaching staff emphasize cohesion and a hard-working culture, with daily practice and a focus on maintaining morale through lengthy campaigns.

Post-match reflections highlighted luchov’s explosive CT-side impact and dgt’s strong Ancient performance as catalysts for the dominant win and the team’s momentum.

9z’s Major journey was propelled by the VRS ranking and a balanced schedule that blends regional success with international opportunities, with the Major Stage 2 berth framed as a major milestone for players and the organization.

In the PGL Astana Swiss stage opener, 9z defeated PARIVISION 2-0, driven by luchov’s standout Inferno performance (24-7 KD, 207.9 ADR, 3.73 CT rating) and dgt’s exceptional Ancient showing (2.32 rating).

Throughout the year, 9z has claimed multiple LAN titles in South America and earned chances at high-tier events like BLAST Open Rotterdam, grabbing wins over MOUZ but facing tougher losses against Vitality and Spirit.
