Arsenal Defender Alexander Zinchenko played two official matches per day for his esports team Passion UA V Counter Strike 2.
The Ukrainian national football player played on the second (Ancient) and third (Anubis) maps in the match against BLEED Esports in the second round of YaLLa Compass Spring 2024. Zinchenko’s rating was 0.86, and his team lost with a score of 1:2.
Zinchenko later played on the first map against Monte Gen, Monte’s youth team, in the semi-finals of IceBonus Series#1. The match ended in the defeat of Passion UA with a score of 0:2.
In both cases, Zinchenko replaced Eduard “zeRRoFIX” Petrovsky in Passion UA, who could not play due to technical problems.
At the beginning of December, Zinchenko played his first official match in CS2 for the Passion UA team. The footballer helped defeat ILLYRIANS with a score of 2:1.
Let us remind you that Zinchenko created the esports team Passion UA together with the famous Ukrainian player and coach Mikhail “Kane” Blagin. The football player aims to take the team to the top level in CS.
