PassionUA’s most recognizable face is gone. Oleksandr Zinchenko, the professional footballer who founded the Ukrainian Counter-Strike 2 organization in August 2023, has left the club, the org confirmed on June 23.
The timing isn’t great. As reported by dust2.us, Zinchenko’s exit lands as PassionUA’s entire active CS2 roster is rumoured to be up for sale. Meanwhile, the club’s purchase of player Santino Rigal has fallen through, while Team Liquid are apparently set to sign Johnny Theodosiou. If all that happens, PassionUA would be left with three players: Viktor “sdy” Orudzhev, Vladyslav “Kvem” Korol and Nicholas “nicx” Lee. Not good.
