The Swedish team passions, that qualified for the European Minor closed qualifier, has been signed by Red Reserve.

Red Reserve made headlines earlier this year when they signed a Brazilian team with Renato "⁠nak⁠" Nakano and Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe, which originally moved to Sweden to play for Orbit. After the Brazilians parted ways due to a "division in the squad" earlier this month, Red Reserve was left without a team.

That changed today, as the organization announced the signing of passions, a Swedish team that managed to qualify for the European Minor closed qualifier and will face Envy in the first round of the Swiss system.

Making the team are three ex-Epsilon Hype players: Alfred "⁠RuStY⁠" Karlsson, Aron "⁠xajdish⁠" Fredriksson and Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser, who are joined by the twins Fredrik "⁠FREDDyFROG⁠" Gustafsson and Joakim "⁠Relaxa⁠" Gustafsson, formerly players of a lower tier Swedish team Japaleno.

Red Reserve's COO released the following statement regarding the signing:

"It may or may not come to a surprise to you that we have signed a team that again, hasn’t had any incredible results but shows an increase in ability day after day. At Red, we pride ourselves on seeing our teams not as a way to make money but as a project, giving these players the necessary tools to reach their goals when no other organisations would and allowing them to reach the next level with that assistance. It is a pleasure to be working with a hungry and driven set of players that all share the same goals." - Sebastian Spooner, Red Reserve COO

HLTV.org has learned that the team is currently at a bootcamp, and will be practicing in that environment for the rest of the week.
