The Swedish organization has solidified its roster for 2025 with the official confirmation of three new players: Josef “faveN” Baumann, Jonatan “bobeksde” Persson, and Tobias “kraghen” Kragh Jensen.
While faveN and bobeksde had been competing under the 9INE banner since early December, their signings had not been formally announced until now. The most recent addition, kraghen, arrives after making a name for himself during ECSTATIC’s Copenhagen Major run and will step in to take the place of Ismail “refrezh” Ali, who has been moved to the bench.
faveN’s journey to 9INE included a stint with BLEED, a project that ultimately failed to reach its goals, as well as a brief period with ALTERNATE aTTaX. Meanwhile, bobeksde, a promising Swedish talent, joins from Johnny Speeds, hoping to make a significant impact.
With Danny “BERRY” Krüger at the helm, this refreshed lineup currently holds the 60th spot in Valve’s Global Standings. They face the challenge of climbing the ranks in order to secure invitations to major LAN events, setting their sights on making a breakthrough in the international scene.
9INE’s updated roster:
Denmark – Rasmus “raalz” Steensborg
Poland – Mateusz “mantuu” Wilczewski
Germany – Josef “faveN” Baumann
Sweden – Jonatan “bobeksde” Persson
Denmark – Tobias “kraghen” Kragh Jensen
Denmark – Danny “BERRY” Krüger (coach)
Denmark – Ismail “refrezh” Ali (benched)
