T.c Announces Free Agent Status

Former coach of Passion UA , Tian " T.c " Kortzen, has announced that he is a free agent and open to new offers. The specialist noted that he has not had a contract with the Ukrainian organization since June.

T.c no longer has a contract with Passion UA

The coach's statement came in the wake of a recent report on Passion UA 's financial issues. The organization has not held official matches since the premature end of the season in May and their withdrawal from the BC.Game Masters Championship S2.

T.c stated that since June, he has officially not been contracted with Passion UA and is currently exploring new opportunities.

The coach joined Passion UA in 2025

T.c became the coach of Passion UA in April 2025, leaving Complexity after three years with the organization. Less than six months before, the former core of Complexity, which T.c coached, also transitioned to Passion UA . The lineup included JT , hallzerk , Grim , and nicx .

Thus, T.c 's arrival was one of the first steps in Passion UA 's transition from an entirely Ukrainian roster to an international project.

Results of Passion UA under T.c 's leadership

During the South African coach's tenure, Passion UA achieved several notable results. The team won the Urban Riga Open S1, finished in the top 4 at DraculaN several times, and advanced to Stage 3 of the StarLadder Budapest Major, stopping just short of the playoffs.

In 2026, the team's performance began to decline. The most significant setback was failing to qualify for the IEM Cologne Major.

Passion UA 's season ended prematurely

In May, Passion UA prematurely ended their participation, withdrawing from the BC.Game Masters Championship S2. Following this, the organization effectively ceased active participation in the professional scene, leading to significant internal changes.

Currently, T.c is without a team and is seeking a new project where he can continue his coaching career.

Just to clear up any confusion. I am no longer contracted to Passion UA and have not been since June.
