CEO of the Ukrainian esports organization Passion UA Artemiy Ryabov confirmed that their players are in the focus of attention of other clubs, and active negotiations are currently underway. Ryabov told this on Maincast, revealing details about the interest in the players and further plans for the organization's development.

“Now there is interest in our players, we are communicating with various organizations about our players. But right now I don't want to say anything to make sure everything happens as it should,” said Passion UA CEO.

Why do Passion UA players attract other clubs?

Passion UA has actively established itself in the international esports arena. The most striking achievement in 2024 was reaching the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. The team also showed stable results at regional tournaments, and its players were recognized for their high level of individual play.

Among the players who are in the crosshairs of large organizations are jambo and fear. Earlier, there were rumors in the media that jambo could move to Falcons, while fear is in talks with fnatic. However, Ryabov himself decided not to comment on these rumors:

“I wish our players only to move forward, whether with us or with other organizations. Now we'll see how it goes. I think there will be news before the new year.”

Focus on CS2 and Dota 2 and future development

The Passion UA organization continues to focus on the development of rosters in CS2 and Dota 2. These two disciplines remain the main areas of focus for the club, and it is in them that Passion UA showed the greatest progress in 2024.

Ryabov also noted that the club plans to expand its presence in esports by creating a Mobile Legends roster: Bang Bang. According to the CEO, this discipline has great potential for development and popularity:

“We are focusing on CS2 and Dota 2 teams, but we are also interested in opening a roster for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. This is a promising discipline, and we are ready to explore its possibilities.”

What do these negotiations mean for Passion UA?

Potential player transfers not only increase the reputation of the organization but also open up new opportunities for its development. In 2024, Passion UA demonstrated that they are ready to cooperate at the international level.

At the same time, players leaving for other clubs may be a challenge for Passion UA, as it will have to look for new talent to replace the leaders. But Ryabov believes that these changes will have a positive effect:

“This is an opportunity for our players to develop and reach new heights. We are ready to support them in this process.”

The organization has proven that it is capable of creating competitive squads and nurturing talent that attracts the best clubs in the world. We look forward to new announcements that will be the next step in the development of Passion UA.
