The betting platform has a vast esports section, and 1xBet actively supports the industry it works in. Thanks to this sponsorship, 9z Team can reach new competitive heights.

It was officially revealed that 1xBet partners with 9z Team, and the contract features a two-year sponsorship. According to 1xBet, the betting platform is eager to support competitive Counter-Strike in Argentina.

In terms of opportunities available with such a title sponsor, 9z Team can win significantly. Strong CS2 players still need resources to attend big international events — and become even stronger on the global esports scene. For the fans and the local community in general, this means better recognition outside Argentina.

There are many prominent Brazilian CS2 teams, like MiBR, paiN, and FURIA. However, the Counter-Strike passion is not limited to this country in South America. Even if Argentinian teams rarely attend top esports tournaments, they still create spectacular miracles in the game.

9z Team has been competing since 2019. Their tier 1 presence started with qualifying for PGL Major Antwerp 2022, which was the first time a non-Brazilian team from Latin America played at a CS2 Major.

The most recent international results of 9z Team as a CS2 esports org are the following.

  • 3rd–4th at IEM Dallas 2024
  • 13th–16th at IEM Rio 2024

In 2025, the org changed the CS2 roster, replacing three players and the coach. Now, these guys represent 9z Team:

  • Maximiliano “max” Gonzalez
  • Matías “HUASOPEEK” Ibañez
  • Luka “Luken” Nadotti
  • Guilherme “levi” Godoy
  • Lucas “urban0” Urbano
  • Bruno “BIT” Lima, the coach

Their recent success is finishing 1st-4th at the closed qualifier for Thunderpick World Championship 2025 and advancing to the main event.

1xBet in Counter-Strike esports

Among all the best CS2 betting websites, 1xBet has one of the biggest programs of supporting teams and tournament organizers.

In addition to Counter-Strike 2, 9z Team is present in other esports such as Apex Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, VALORANT, and others.
