T.c Remains the Key Figure

The 33-year-old South African coach joined Passion UA in April 2025 after leaving Complexity, where he worked as an assistant coach. Since arriving, T.c has become a central figure in shaping the team’s identity, focusing on structure, discipline, and long-term growth rather than short-term results.

 

The organization stated that the extension reflects their trust in his vision and his ability to build a competitive roster capable of challenging top European teams over time.

Strong Progress Under His Leadership

Since T.c took over, Passion UA have made noticeable progress:

  • They climbed from outside the top 60 in the world ranking to hovering around the top 30.
  • They reached the final of DraculaN Season 2.
  • They won Urban Riga Open Season 1.
  • They earned a Stage 2 invitation to the StarLadder Budapest Major.

At the Major, Passion UA reached Stage 3 with a 3–2 record before narrowly missing the playoffs after losing to FaZe, showing they can compete with elite-level teams.

Recent Results and Challenges

In their latest appearance at BLAST Bounty Season 1, Passion UA were eliminated early after losing to GamerLegion. Despite the setback, the team and coaching staff emphasized that the focus remains on consistency, player development, and adapting to the evolving competitive meta.

 

T.c has been especially praised for improving the team’s map pool, mid-round decision-making, and mental resilience in close matches.

Vision Until 2028

With the contract now extended until 2028, Passion UA are clearly thinking long term. The organization wants to:

  • Build a stable core roster around young talent
  • Develop academy players for future promotion
  • Regularly qualify for tier-one and tier-two international events
  • Become a consistent Major contender

T.c will have full responsibility for shaping this project over the next several seasons.

What’s Next for Passion UA

Passion UA’s next big test will be at IEM Kraków 2026 Stage 1, where they are scheduled to face G2 on January 28, 2026. The match will be an important benchmark to see how far the team has come and how effective T.c’s long-term system has become.

 

With the coach secured until 2028 and a clear development strategy in place, Passion UA are positioning themselves as a serious long-term project in international Counter-Strike.
