1xBet extends CS2 presence with sponsorship of 9z Team from Argentina

This betting site offers a huge range of esports options and is a strong supporter of the competitive gaming scene. Their sponsorship helps teams like 9z Team improve and compete at higher levels.

1xBet and 9z Team have officially announced a two-year sponsorship deal. 1xBet says they’re excited to help grow competitive Counter-Strike in Argentina through this partnership.

Having a major sponsor like this gives 9z Team a big advantage. Talented Counter-Strike players need funding to compete in major international tournaments and improve their performance worldwide. This also means increased visibility and recognition for the team and its fans, especially within Argentina and beyond.

9z Team receives a new title sponsor, 1xBet

Many people are familiar with popular Brazilian Counter-Strike 2 teams such as MiBR, paiN, and FURIA. But the love for Counter-Strike isn’t just a Brazilian thing in South America. While Argentinian teams don’t often compete in major esports events, they consistently pull off amazing plays and upsets.

9z Team has been competing in Counter-Strike since 2019. They first made a significant impact in 2022 by qualifying for the PGL Major Antwerp – a historic moment as they became the first non-Brazilian team from Latin America to compete in a CS2 Major tournament.

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

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

So, things shook up over at the org in 2025 – they completely revamped their CS2 lineup, swapping out three players *and* the coach. Now, the team representing 9z is…

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

The team recently achieved a strong result by placing among the top four in the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 closed qualifier, earning them a spot in the main championship event.

1xBet in Counter-Strike esports

When it comes to Counter-Strike 2 betting sites, 1xBet stands out for its strong support of both teams and tournament organizers.

  • 1xBet sponsored such events as Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2025 and BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.
  • The esports betting platform sponsors CS2 team Aurora, MIBR, and The MongolZ, who won the CS2 EWC 2025 recently.

Besides Counter-Strike 2, 9z Team also competes in games like Apex Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, and Valorant, among others.
