Sources: Passion UA in talks over Complexity quartet

The Ukrainian organization is close to securing the North American squad.

T.c could be reuniting with his former Complexity players soon

Passion UA are in advanced talks with Complexity over the signing of four of the North American team's players, multiple sources have told HLTV. A deal is expected to be completed in the coming days.

The deal includes Johnny "⁠JT⁠" Theodosiou, Håkon "⁠hallzerk⁠" Fjærli, Michael "⁠Grim⁠" Wince and Nick "⁠nicx⁠" Lee, sources said. Danny "⁠Cxzi⁠" Strzelczyk is expected to be replaced by Vladyslav "⁠Kvem⁠" Korol, one of the three players Passion UA benched on Friday amid an overhaul of the squad.

Passion UA drop team

Even with the Ukrainian player's addition, the team will still be assigned to the Americas in the VRS as JT will count towards the lowest priority region on the roster following the June 25 ranking model update.

If the deal goes through, it will mark the reunion between the players and head coach Tiaan "⁠T.c⁠" Coertzen, who left Complexity in March after over three years. The North American organization never filled the vacant coaching position, only picking up Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag and later Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg, both on an interim basis.

It is unclear what Complexity's future in the Counter-Strike scene will look like if they sell the squad, which is currently ranked 21st in the global VRS and fourth in the Americas. HLTV understands that the North American organization has been seeking a buyer for the team for some time now.

Complexity were last seen competing in BLAST Bounty, in which they were eliminated by HEROIC in the first round. Previously, they went out last in IEM Cologne's Stage 1 and finished in 5th-8th place at FISSURE Playground 1.

Contacted by HLTV, Passion UA declined to comment.

The problem with replacing cxzi with Kvem is that col will now become a team like wildcard and liquid and end up in the EU standings, which will surely end up in major disappointment. The only way they couldve kept their roster w NA status would be replacing either hallzerk or JT, and we all know neither would happen. Overall good idea but L move for the core

Like it says, JT as a non-major region player counts as a lowest priority member. Which makes him a 3rd AM, not a 3rd EU. Only way they would become EU is if either JT, Grim or nicx were replaced by another EU player.

He’s spoken pretty in depth with about as much transparency as could be considered reasonable on RL’s show and Thorin’s recent reflections interview. The costs of boot camps alone can be the difference between keeping this current team in the black or operating at a loss. Remember, Jason Lake is a man who fully understands the importance of keeping these teams up to speed with European competition and that means traveling to and from Europe on a regular basis. I think you’ve answered your own question.

I did not watch the interview. I'm just surprised on how this operate in a loss situation. I guess that I understimate the NA salary+ bootcamp costs. For me the sponsors and constant sticker would be more than enough to operate in a positive cash flow.

Most esports orgs operate at a loss lol. It's just about who can secure the most cash to burn. Every big org you see is losing millions a year and they just replace it with new funding from more investors and sponsors

Well that’s not the case anymore, the biggest orgs (T1, G2, Vitality, KC…) are nearing the break-even point and for the most part haven’t had any equity investments in year. There is a caveat tho, which is that EWC is boosting the financial numbers quite a bit since last year, so the industry isn’t yet fully self-sustainable.

If they have the finances and desire to continue in CS, a team like Getting Info or BOSS could be signed without any buyout. Considering that the article states that they were actively trying to sell this team, I'm not sure that it's a given that they are in a good spot financially right now.

COL wouldnt be NA anymroe if this actually happens. so overall cant understand why this move is happening This team wont make through european vrs for the major. If it happened today, they would be just above liquid in the rankings, and Liquid is most likely going to miss the major as well

Are u sure that they won't be in NA vrs? Cus they still would have 3 players from NA , if we count JT also from NA if Volvo's rules allow that ,then they have 3 ,and 2 , halzerkKvem EU ,or do the org it self needs to be from NA? Liquid is also good theory for this coL or PUA squad ,cus they have 2 NA , 1 ME, 2 EU While here in PUA(coL) case they have 2 NA , 1 Africa, 2 EU tbh idk the way Volvo places the players from ME/Africa regions or continents.

Liquid and Col/Passion UA are different situations. Valve added MENA as a subregion for EU, which moves Israeli players from Asia to EU and makes Liquid 3 EU, 2 NA. since JT is from South Africa, not MENA, he still doesn't come from any of the three main regions - which by Valve rule means he would count for the region with more major slots (in this case, EU against AM) if the roster is 2-2-1.

Non-existent regions get counted as the strongest VRS region, so JT would be counted as EU. That's why wildcard became EU for a little while until they put stan back on the squad. Also why liquid is EU now.

incorrect. They're counted for the weakest region. Wildcard was never an EU team and jt counts for NA "Even with the Ukrainian player's addition, the team will still be assigned to the Americas in the VRS as JT will count towards the lowest priority region on the roster"

from woro2k tg: "Hello everyone, I received a bunch of messages about what happened and everything else, so I'll write a small post. - 0 synergy - 0 results - 0 satisfaction from the game for almost everyone - Everyone has a different vision of the game and the winning formula. This result does not suit anyone, neither us as players nor the organization. We tried to change it as much as possible and improve it, but it didn't work out for us a bit. I think that this is the right choice for the organization and the players themselves, so wish everyone only good luck! I am grateful to all the guys for this time, I love everyone and wish them the fulfillment of all their dreams and goals! I also thank the organization for this time and all the staff! A new page begins for me, while I am looking for a new team and I am very curious about what awaits me next!"

here`s one from kvem: "You probably noticed that I haven't posted anything from our games lately, I haven't written much about the results At the very beginning, we encountered certain problems that we were constantly trying to fix. It took a long time before we realized that things weren't going to get any better and everyone in the team was divided into before/after the vacation. But nevertheless, each of us did everything in his power, our "game chemistry" didn't come together, but that happens. I wish good luck to each of the guys, I love and respect everyone!"

Thanks a lot. It all makes sense tho. You could see the lack of team play from the very beginning. I really think it was all because of a bad igl. Woro and kvem were always top fragging and if they had a bad day they lost.

"We went with Passion UA because it's in our Ukrainian blood, this passion to do something," Arsenal's left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko tells HLTV about investing in a new Counter-Strike team. "The way you name the boat is how it will sail, so I'm happy with the name, but it's not the most important thing." "Passion UA was born out of my deep-seated love for gaming and my desire to contribute to the growth of esports in my home country, Ukraine," he states. "I am committed to building a world-class esports organization that will stand tall among the giants of the industry." aged pretty well)

nicx has actually looked pretty solid the last few times they've played, i'd say let him cook for a bit. But yeah cxzi has appeared on many rosters and played tier 2 lans and a few tier 1 on coL, and hes just not stepping up.
