Breaking: Passion UA reveal Complexity core following org's exit from CS2

Ukrainian esports organization Passion UA have confirmed the acquisition of Complexity's Counter-Strike 2 roster, seeing the lineup move to their new home shortly after Complexity owner Jason Lake announced the organization's departure from the game. The move sees the former Complexity core reunite with former head coach Tiaan "T.c" Coertzen while Danny "Cxzi" Strzelczyk has been replaced in the starting five by Ukrainian rifler Vladyslav "Kvem" Korol.

This significant change in the Counter-Strike landscape sees Passion UA enter the North American scene and claim a near-certain spot into the StarLadder Budapest Major via the Americas Valve Regional Standings (VRS), with the promise of a spot at the Hungarian Major likely being a significant motivator of this "out of left field" signing.

With the move to Passion UA now complete, the ex-Complexity roster will work to integrate Kvem into the lineup with the 23-year-old Ukrainian rifler poised to potentially offer a significant firepower boost to the NA squad. During his time with Complexity, Cxzi posted a somewhat underwhelming 0.99 rating over 84 maps while Kvem currently boasts a 1.18 rating over 226 maps this year against European opposition.

The reunion between Johnny "JT" Theodosiou and T.c is also an enticing prospect as the former Complexity lineup were seemingly unable to find a suitable replacement for the South African after parting ways with him at the start of the year.

Passion UA have a busy schedule ahead of them as the team are set to attend DraculaN #1 next week, StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025 in early September, and Fragadelphia Blocktober ahead in early October ahead of the StarLadder Budapest Major in late November and will likely receive invites to other events in the following weeks.

Passion UA are now:

• Johnny "JT" Theodosiou

• Michael "Grim" Wince

• Håkon "hallzerk" Fjærli

• Nick "nicx" Lee

• Vladyslav "Kvem" Korol

• Tiaan "T.c" Coertzen (Coach)
