The Russian squad is heading into the off-season with two players on the market.
9 Pandas will listen to offers for the two benched players
9 Pandas are making changes after failing to make it through the Perfect World Shanghai Major Europe RMR, where they beat Astralis and Aurora but fell to G2, Virtus.pro and Ninjas in Pyjamas to finish in 9-11th place.
The two affected players are Aleksandr “glowiing” Matsievich and Artem “iDISBALANCE” Egorov, who have been moved to the inactive roster and placed on the transfer list. The duo was two of longest-standing players on the team after a year and seven months on the team.
The two players were brought on in a restructuring of the squad by former 9 Pandas coach Andrey “Xoma” Mironenko in 2023, and the only member of the team with a longer tenure is Daniil “d1Ledez” Kustov, who joined the pandas in 2022.
glowiing and iDISBALANCE’s most significant achievements in 9 Pandas were winning PARI Please 2023, where they beat BetBoom, MIBR, FURIA, and Eternal Fire, and qualifying for the PGL Copenhagen Major. Sadly, the team had to withdraw from the tournament last minute due to visa issues, and the two did not get to debut at a Major.
