Passion UA<\/strong> has parted ways with Rodion ‘\u2060fear\u2060’ <\/strong>Smyk, extending their best wishes for his “new journey” amid speculation about the in-game leader joining fnatic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks the team’s second adjustment during the off-season after Vsevolod ‘\u2060s-chilla\u2060’ <\/strong>Shchurov resigned on Friday to take an indefinite break because of burnout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘fear’ <\/strong>concludes an 11-month tenure with Passion UA<\/strong> following the team’s unexpected success in China, where they defeated Spirit<\/strong>, Virtus.pro<\/strong>, and Astralis <\/strong>in the Europe RMR to earn a spot at the Perfect World Shanghai Major<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ukrainian team secured a 2-1 lead in the Opening Stage<\/strong> by defeating Complexity <\/strong>and MIBR<\/strong>, but they were unable to reach the top 16 after losing to GamerLegion <\/strong>and Wildcard <\/strong>in the qualifying rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passion UA’s<\/strong> strong fundamentals and teamwork on the essential maps in their pool significantly contributed to that achievement, with fear’s leadership encompassing both in-game strategy and skillful play as he finished the Major as Passion UA’s<\/strong> top performer, boasting a 1.18 rating<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His exit reduces the team to only three players, leaving its future uncertain, as Dmytro ‘jambo’ <\/strong>Semera had been mentioned as a potential candidate on Falcons’ <\/strong>shortlist before reports emerged about the Saudi organization seeking the HEROIC <\/strong>roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
