    9z coach BIT: "If we make it back to the playoffs consistently, I'm sure at some point we'll win another tournament"

    9z beat World No.5 Aurora in two maps at the Thunderpick World Championship in Malta, closing it out with a near-flawless Nuke. Coach BIT said the win mattered because the team had won just four of 13 matches since its XSE Pro League Guangzhou title in July, dropping to 17th in the global VRS. HLTV's latest projections give 9z a 60% chance of a spot in Stage 2 of the Singapore Major, though BIT said he is more focused on finding consistency.
