The lower bracket final of StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025 delivered a surprising result: B8 defeated Passion UA 2:0. Despite Passion UA being considered the favorites coming into this matchup, B8 managed to impose their own game and confidently secured the victory.
Train (13:8 B8)
The opening map of the series was Train — Passion UA’s pick. However, the first half ended with a large deficit for them at 10:2 in favor of B8. On the defensive side, Passion UA managed to improve their standing and brought the score to a more workable 11:8, but B8 closed out the last two key rounds to seal the map.
Dust2 (13:11 B8)
B8 selected Dust2 and started strong, holding economic control and finishing the first half with a 7:5 advantage. In the second half, Passion UA gave up the first two rounds but then managed to seize the momentum, stringing together five rounds in a row to lead 10:9. Even so, B8 did not allow their opponents to push the game into overtime, where Passion UA could have had a real chance to win and force the decider on Inferno. Instead, B8 closed the map 13:11 and the series 2:0.
After the match, Passion UA reacted on their official X (Twitter) account, acknowledging the loss and thanking fans for their support:
