These Passion UA players had multiple chances under the Complexity organization with huge salaries but only managed a handful of notable successes. In the end, the infamous owner Jason Lake had to wave the white flag and disband the roster.
Now, under a new banner, hallzerk and co. shocked one of the strongest squads in the world with a reverse sweep in a nail-biting 2–1 series.
The North American squad displayed grit and composure beyond expectations, grinding out key rounds on both Inferno and Nuke to secure the upset. While The MongolZ looked sharp early, their trademark aggression was perfectly countered by Passion UA’s disciplined retakes and confident mid-round calls.
