In the semi-finals of RES Regional Series 6 Europe, Zinchenko's soccer team defeated Zero Tenacity, a suspicious team suspected of playing under the radar. Passion UA won with the score 2-0, largely thanks to the great and fantastic play of new Ukrainian talent Nikita “jackasmo” Skyba.
Passion UA sensationally reached the final of the tournament, where they will play with the legendary Fnatic. If they win the tournament, it could be their best result in the existence of the organization.
Passion UA started the tournament in Group B, along with BLEED, Nemiga and Aurora Young Blud. With a win over Aurora Young Blud and Nemiga, they managed to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament. Where they faced another legendary tag NIP and managed to win also with a score of 2-0, where the team's sniper Dmytro 'jambo' Semera, as well as Nikita 'jackasmo' Skyba showed a great game. Jambo is now the best player of the tournament with a rating of 7.7.
The match between Passion UA and Zero Tenacity started on Mirage, Passion UA's choice where they managed to take the first half 7-5 and despite a draw in the second half they won 13-11, getting one step closer to the final. It should be noted that on Mirage none of the Passion UA players fell out and all finished the game with roughly equal stats.
The second map was Anubis, Zero Tenacity's choice, where they have a 74% win rate on it over the last 3 months. Because of this they were able to win the first half 8-4, giving them a comfortable gap in rounds to defend, but Jambo thanks to a great 1-in-4 clutch, was able to turn the game around and Passion UA was able to get back in the game and finish the map 13-11. In the process winning 2-0 in this match.
At the end of the match we would like to mention Nikita 'jackasmo' Skyba, who shows very good results in recent games and can become another Ukrainian talent, because jackasmo's rating for this tournament is 6.4.
Tomorrow Passion UA will play Fnatic for the main prize of $50,000 and 100 RLG points. Thanks to them they could get to RES Regional Champions with a prize pool of 250.000$, which will be held in LAN format in Belgrade. But unfortunately they have no chance to get to the tournament by points, but they can get there by direct invitation from the organizers.
