9z Team — a CS2 esports team

9z is an Argentine esports organisation founded on August 8th, 2018 by its CEO, Francisco “Frankkaster” Postiglione. In 2021, the club merged with Dale Play Group and later also competed under the 9z Globant brand.

The 9z tag is one of the most recognisable on the South American CS scene. The team regularly plays both regional tournaments and international events, and at its best it has broken into the world’s top tier and put up serious results against strong opponents.

History of 9z rosters

More than 20 pro esports players have come through 9z. All of them made their own contribution to the growth of the organisation and helped it reach where it is today: a top-5 Counter-Strike team in the world.

Achievements of the first roster

The first Counter-Strike roster included players such as Luken, nhl, nbl, gAtito, and kun. Hellpa was the coach of that team. However, that five-man lineup did not manage to achieve any major success. Unfortunately, it failed to qualify for any big tournaments and had to settle for playing in local South American events.

2019–2022 roster

Between 2019 and 2022, the team featured two players from the current roster. Those were Franco Garcia “dgt” and Maximiliano Gonzalez, who was playing under the nickname “maxujas” at the time. Alongside them were Bruno Lima “BIT”, Santino Rigal “try”, and Rajohn Gregory “EaTor”. This was the version of 9z that earned the team its first success on the world stage. They got their first international win at Blast Premier 2020, won CCT Season 1 South America Series #8 and CCT Season 1 South America Series #5. But their biggest win came at FiReLEAGUE 2022: Argentinian League, where they took the top prize of 1.5 million Argentine pesos.
