Sensational AWP game from hallzerk secures first win under Passion UA banner
The former Complexity roster core found their first win under the Passion UA banner earlier today against Gentle Mates, defeating the recently signed Spanish roster 2-0 at StarSeries Fall.
Passion UA started the series convincingly on Inferno. Håkon "hallzerk" Fjærli was terrific on the AWP, topfragging in map one, while Nicholas "nicx" Lee looked unkillable, dying only four times the entire map and going a perfect 3-for-3 in all his opening duels.
Gentle Mates got crushed on their own map pick of Inferno, but put up a much better fight on Train. But hallzerk's AWP was the difference maker once again, as he doubled his total AWP kills from the map prior, while Johnny "JT" Theodosiou put in some strong contributions.

The result today is Passion UA's first win in three matches played since acquiring the former Complexity core. At the end of August the team was quickly dispatched from DraculaN 1 after 0-2 losses to both Monte and 9INE.
Passion UA may have the chance to face 9INE again in the upper bracket semifinals, if the European roster can pull off the upset against NAVI.
According to the HLTV match page, this result alone will account for a 98 point VRS point swing for Passion UA, rocketing them up to 33rd globally, and making the task of locking in a Major spot that much easier.
