Counter Strike 2: T.c part ways with Passion UA..

South African professional Counter Strike 2 (CS2) esports coach T.c announced on Tuesday via his official X (Twitter) account that he has parted ways with his former club, Passion UA.

According to T.c’s official statement, he has not been affiliated with Passion UA since June. He is now a free agent and is looking for his next opportunity.

T.c’s statement has once again drawn attention to Passion UA’s situation.

Over the past year, the CS2 club—owned by former Manchester City Ukraine international left-wing back Oleksandr Zinchenko—has repeatedly faced negative reports regarding unpaid salaries and players leaving the team due to financial difficulties.

T.c, 33, was formerly the head coach of Extra Salt and its sister team, Complexity.

During his three-year coaching spell at Complexity, he led the team to a runner-up finish at the 2023 Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Sydney.

In April 2025, T.c joined Passion UA.

Under T.c’s leadership, Passion UA achieved notable success, not only winning the Riga Metro Open Group Season 1 but also finishing in the top four at multiple DraculaN tournaments and advancing to Stage 3 of the StarLadder Budapest Major, where they narrowly missed the playoffs.

However, the team’s performance showed an overall downward trend in 2026, most notably with their failure to qualify for the IEM Cologne Major. When the team ended its season early in May by withdrawing from the BC Game Masters Championship Season 2, T.c’s tenure with Passion UA effectively came to a close.
