Passion UA sign DemQQ

7-4-2025 12:35

Passion UA are left with a single member of the Perfect World Shanghai Major roster.

DemQQ spent the better part of the last three years with Monte

Passion UA have announced the signing of Sergiy "⁠DemQQ⁠" Demchenko from Monte, reuniting the rifler with former teammate Volodymyr "⁠Woro2k⁠" Veletniuk.

"I want to thank the Monte team and its staff[...] for the ups and downs, for the difficult and fun times," DemQQ said in a statement posted to X.

"For me this is a new opportunity. The opportunity to write Ukrainian history under a different tag. Passion UA is my new motto."

The move ends DemQQ's near three-year stint on Monte, with whom he emerged on the international stage over 2023 with a playoff run at BLAST.tv Paris Major and victory in ESL Challenger Jönköping.

DemQQ is only the most recent piece of a significant rebuild of Passion UA's squad, which has seen the entire lineup that made a memorable run to Perfect World Shanghai Major depart, bar Nikita "⁠jackasmo⁠" Skyba.

Rodion "⁠fear⁠" Smyk and Dmytro "⁠jambo⁠" Semera were sold to fnatic, Vsevolod "⁠s-chilla⁠" Shchurov left due to burnout, Mikhaylo "⁠Kane⁠" Blagin was replaced by Tiaan "⁠T.c⁠" Coertzen, and Eduard "⁠zeRRoFIX⁠" Petrovskyi just departed.

Passion UA have struggled thus far in 2025, making little headway in online events or qualifiers and therefore slipping out of contention for an MRQ spot ahead of BLAST.tv Austin Major.

Passion UA are now:

Nikita "⁠jackasmo⁠" Skyba
Oleksii "⁠Topa⁠" Topchiienko
Vladyslav "⁠Kvem⁠" Korol
Volodymyr "⁠Woro2k⁠" Veletniuk
Sergiy "⁠DemQQ⁠" Demchenko

Tiaan "⁠T.c⁠" Coertzen (coach)

The flag too? Passion UA was much better before these changes. Now they are doing some sort of Ouija ritual to resurrect the old failed Monte. It's better to give chances to young and promising Ukranian players than to collect players who have shown their peaks for a long time. Signing DemQQ is like signing that you want to be a team no higher than tier2.5. Besides, this guy has a temper and is quite toxic, which will certainly have a negative impact on the microclimate in the team

2025-04-07 21:53

What Monte should have been lmao, great move.

Now it looks interesting

PUA cooking for next season

2025-04-07 12:37

Still tiers above what Monte is, so W for DemQQ

2025-04-07 13:01

nice, the cheaters are together again, lets gooo

2025-04-07 14:08

damn it my prediction failed

I TOLD YOU.

They need add sdy -topa + sdy

2025-04-07 12:38

and boros

2025-04-07 12:40

They can't. At least for now. They are in OKish position to have invites to closed qualifiers at least, as well as some CCTs and such. And they just made 2 changes, one more and they lose the core. So if it happens - it'll be a bit later.

2025-04-07 13:24

Actually looks like a decent team, only thing that I'm not fully sold on yet is T.c as the coach but we'll see I guess

2025-04-07 12:39

I don't understand why a team that speaks ukranian would sign a coach that doesn't understand their communication, no matter how good the coach is

2025-04-07 13:15

yeah and from outside perspective I felt like kane did well with the pieces he had, wonder why he got kicked

Disgusting that this akuma fool still able to play in pro teams

let's not forget the fact that woro and kvem both played in d****as to get that screamer's ugly face into the game

2025-04-07 12:41

Esic won’t go after any relevant players, only tier 4 or those who are retired

2025-04-07 12:43

They won’t go cuz they have a bag from these teams. Pretty obviously imo

2025-04-07 12:45

+w0nderful?

2025-04-07 12:54

dreamteam xd

changed favourite team from Monte to Passion UA

Akuma coming along!

what a great team would have been if some actual igl instead of topa, even OWNER is better

Woro back to igl in 3 matches 100%

2025-04-07 14:03

PUA cooking, t 1.5 incoming

1.5 * 2

2025-04-07 12:52

Buy monte stikers, soon bankruptcy

2025-04-07 12:42

looks really good on paper gl in top 15

good roster but wtf is JT doing here then? i thought they would go international

jayson tatum? pretty sure you meant T.c

2025-04-07 14:18

oh shit yeah i meant tc they have a similar kinda name and are from the same place so i mixed it up xD

2025-04-07 14:19

the fact that this guy isn't banned for cheating is a joke

Where are your proof ?

2025-04-07 12:47

why would he be?

2025-04-07 13:32

Do they still keep all their VRS points? I swear they changed like 4 players in a month

2025-04-07 12:46

i think theyre losing all the points but there s a loooot of time to the major after this one

2025-04-07 13:02

if I'm not mistaken they changed everyone because they wouldn't be able to get the VRS points to the MRQs anyways so they pulled the trigger earlier

2025-04-07 16:50

-topa -jackasmo +Sdy +boros Monte is back

Akuma cheater

2025-04-07 12:51

akuma is so back

thank God demQQ is finally where he can shine.

godtier team

RIP Monte

Now bring sdy or fear in for topa

2025-04-07 12:55

can be top20 team if they focus on grinding RN for next season

2025-04-07 12:57

+s1mple next or what

2025-04-07 12:58

Looking kind of cracked but will still get rolled by hallzerk again Ironic considering their coach now

sdy soon surely right

expected, cant support for this team anymore

2025-04-07 12:59

so basically monte got it

2025-04-07 13:03

matchfixer + cheater from akuma Typical UA cs

2025-04-07 13:05

That's actually probably one of the best national teams Ukraine could assemble rn, maybe b1t, npl or sdy could be an upgrade to this. So it's interesting how well they will do. Despite the history of some players on the roster (Akuma, Drillas, Woro had his own accusations) I will be glad to see if a new national team can reach the higher echelons.

2025-04-07 13:08

i think they wont qualify for Major with this lineup, less firepower, no chemistry, need alot of time to back on the level they was

2025-04-07 13:07

record setting roster for matchfixing and other suspicious activity.

2025-04-07 13:13

damn, PUA cooking with the cash they got low key, W

thats what i like about them, monte made decent cash after paris major and invested into nothing. Good to see PUA actually investing into the team

2025-04-07 13:55

Idk, to me losing almost the entire original lineup (which I quite liked) is a sign of pretty shitty management. Though maybe I'm wrong and it was the best time to sell fear and Jambo before the post-major hype died down. And I'm sure the original Passion UA was many times better than what we have now
