Passion UA have emerged as the winners of Glitched Masters 2025, making a lower bracket run to the title at the LAN event in Jönköping, Sweden.

Glitched Masters served as Passion UA's first LAN success since a revamp that saw the arrival of Tiaan "⁠T.c⁠" Coertzen, Volodymyr "⁠Woro2k⁠" Veletniuk, and Sergiy "⁠DemQQ⁠" Demchenko, but only the latest success in a good run of form that has accompanied the changes.

In the last three months Passion UA have won Galaxy Battle Phase 1 and gone deep in several other online events, racking up a near-70% winrate along the way.

The Ukrainian side had a long road to the trophy in Jönköping, playing eight series across three days after an early 2-0 loss to fnatic sent them down to the lower bracket.

After making their way through the gauntlet, Passion UA rematched fnatic in the final, with fnatic fresh off a recent LAN trophy win of their own at Tipsport Conquest of Prague finals.

Passion UA reversed the score from their earlier meeting to take the final in 2-0 fashion, strong performances by Woro2k and Vladyslav "⁠Kvem⁠" Korol clinching hard-fought victories on Dust2 and Train respectively.

Elsewhere in Glitched Masters Ninjas in Pyjamas had to settle for a disappointing 5-6th place finish, failing to deliver on their status as the top-ranked side in attendance after losses to fnatic and ECSTATIC. Part of the problem was a slow tournament by Rasmus "⁠sjuush⁠" Beck, who posted a 0.97-rated event.

Fnatic is still leading h2h after losing 2-0 to ua,fnatic had to wait 10 hours because they went undefeated to the final while ua was grinding three games during that time.
