After winning XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026, the Argentine club moved up to second place among top-15 teams by number of tournaments won in 2026. 9z now have four titles this season. Only Vitality remain ahead with five victories, while BetBoom Team sit right behind 9z with three tournament wins.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>9z are gaining championship pace<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Victory at XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026 became not just a separate success for 9z, but confirmation of steady progress throughout the year. The team no longer looks like a roster that can only make a run at one tournament. On the contrary, 9z are gradually building a reputation as a team capable of regularly reaching the final stages and closing out decisive matches.<\/p>\n<p>That is exactly what makes their statistics especially telling. Four titles in a season is already the level of a team that should be viewed not as a dark horse, but as a real contender for big results in the second half of the year.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/ynk-remembered-the-forgotten-legend-of-the-mongolian-scene\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Donut_PGL-23-X2.jpg.webp\" alt=\"YNk remembered the forgotten legend of the Mongolian scene\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/ynk-remembered-the-forgotten-legend-of-the-mongolian-scene\">YNk remembered the forgotten legend of the Mongolian scene<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/ynk-remembered-the-forgotten-legend-of-the-mongolian-scene\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1783739479#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1783739479#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1783739479#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jul 13<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Which tournaments 9z have won<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At this point, 9z have four victories in 2026:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026<\/li>\n<li>FERJEE In House 2026<\/li>\n<li>BetBoom Circuit X Pantanal Cuiab\u00e1 2026<\/li>\n<li>BetBoom RUSH B Summit Season 2<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This list clearly shows that the season for 9z is not built around one random peak. The team is consistently taking trophies in different conditions, against different opponents, and in different formats. This kind of consistency often becomes the main sign of a roster ready to move to the next level.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Vitality are still ahead, but the gap is shrinking<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For now, Vitality still hold first place by number of victories. The French team have five tournament wins, so they remain the benchmark for all other contenders.<\/p>\n<p>But the gap between Vitality and 9z is already minimal \u2014 only one title. And if the Argentine roster maintains its current pace, the race for leadership in number of trophies in 2026 could become much more interesting than it seemed just a few months ago.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>BetBoom Team are also nearby<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>BetBoom Team also deserve separate mention, as they sit right behind 9z with three tournament wins. This means the battle for the upper part of this list is not limited only to Vitality and 9z.<\/p>\n<p>BetBoom are also keeping a good pace and remain in a zone where one successful run can quickly change the standings. In a season with a packed calendar and frequent form swings among teams, even one new title can significantly affect the overall picture.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_405133\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-405133\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-405133\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/55239315656_2ee8836a90_k.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/55239315656_2ee8836a90_k.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/55239315656_2ee8836a90_k-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/55239315656_2ee8836a90_k-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/55239315656_2ee8836a90_k-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/55239315656_2ee8836a90_k-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-405133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright by BLAST<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Why this matters before PGL Singapore Major 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Major context makes this statistic even more interesting. If 9z really continue moving at this pace, they can no longer be viewed only as a team that performs well at individual tournaments. They are gradually building the foundation for the status of one of the dangerous contenders at big events.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the number of titles alone does not guarantee success at a Major. Stability, map pool, mentality, experience in elimination matches, and the ability to adapt against top opponents all matter there. But four victories in a season is already a serious argument that this team knows not only how to go far, but how to win.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>9z are no longer just a sensation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The main change in how 9z are perceived is that their results are starting to look less and less accidental. When a team wins one title, it can be explained by good form or a favorable tournament path. When there are already four such titles, it becomes a matter of systematic work.<\/p>\n<p>That is why victory at XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026 became an important marker. It did not simply add another trophy to the statistics, but secured 9z in the group of teams that are genuinely shaping the storyline of the season.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/xse-pro-league-2026-surprises-disappointments\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/HNCRHIrXAAAMR9G.webp\" alt=\"Surprises and Disappointments of XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026: 9z&#8217;s First Title, PARIVISION&#8217;s Rise, and New Questions for the Favorites\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/xse-pro-league-2026-surprises-disappointments\">Surprises and Disappointments of XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026: 9z&#8217;s First Title, PARIVISION&#8217;s Rise, and New Questions for the Favorites<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/xse-pro-league-2026-surprises-disappointments\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1783739479#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1783739479#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1783739479#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jul 12<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Victory at XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After winning XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026, 9z moved into second place among top-15 teams by number of tournaments won in 2026.
