9INE have officially removed Jan “cej0t” Dyl from the active lineup. The Polish player has been moved to inactive with immediate effect, and the club has already thanked him for his work and wished him success in the future.
9INE in recent months
This decision does not look random if you look at 9INE’s overall condition in recent months. The team давно lost the pace with which it previously held a much more visible place in tier-two, and the constant instability of the roster only strengthened the feeling that sooner or later the club would have to dive back into another rebuild.

9INE officially benched cej0t
In their statement, 9INE briefly confirmed that cej0t is no longer part of the active five-man lineup. The wording was as direct as possible: the player has been moved to the inactive roster immediately.
At the same time, the organization thanked him for his time with the team and separately emphasized that it believes in his future. In other words, the split looks not like a public conflict, but like another personnel move against the backdrop of an unsuccessful stretch for the club.
cej0t spent less than a year in the starting lineup
For cej0t himself, this stage in 9INE turned out to be relatively short. He did not have time to become the face of the project, but he was part of a period when the team was still trying to establish itself among solid tier-two squads and looked much more alive than it does now.
That is why his current exit from the active lineup reads not only as a decision about one player, but also as another sign that 9INE are effectively closing one unsuccessful cycle and preparing for the next one.
The problem, apparently, was not only one player
It would be too simple to reduce everything to a story about one weak performer. The reality looks broader: 9INE have long been stalling specifically as a system. The team lost stability, the results dropped, and the roster itself no longer looked like something cohesive and convincing.
In such conditions, replacing one name often becomes not the cause of changes, but the consequence of a broader crisis. And that is exactly how it looks here: the club did not simply move on from one player, but took another step toward yet another roster repair job.
For 9INE, this looks like only the beginning of new changes
After moving cej0t to inactive, 9INE are left with another open layer of questions: who exactly will fill the slot next, and whether the club will stop there. If the team truly wants to regain its previous pace, one substitution may not be enough.
That is exactly why this news feels not like a final full stop, but like the first visible step. cej0t’s move to inactive looks very much like the start of a new stage, rather than a one-off cosmetic decision.
9INE’s current lineup after moving cej0t to inactive
After this decision, the active core of 9INE consists of:
- raalz
- kraghen
- bnox
- flayy
- BERRY (coach)
So right now the team already has an obvious hole in the starting five that will need to be filled in the near future.

The old version of the roster had run its course
Moving cej0t to inactive is a logical step for 9INE against the backdrop of prolonged instability. But the importance of this news lies not in the benching itself, but in the fact that the club has clearly not finished rebuilding.
For cej0t, this is the end of a short but important stage in 9INE. For the team itself, it is another confirmation that the old version of the roster had run its course, and from here the club will have to search for a new workable shape.
