The management of Passion UA, a club owned by the Ukrainian footballer Oleksandr Zinchenko, has penalised two Dota 2 players for using a phrase from the Aurora Gaming bundle. According to the club's representatives on social media, Oleg "yowaai" Mikhailov and Mykola "niche" Zemlyansky will be fined for acquiring and using a phrase from a game set sponsored by a Russian company under sanctions.
The incident occurred during a match against 1win Team in CCT Series 3, which Passion UA lost 0:2. Following this defeat, the team also lost to MOUZ and ended the tournament in 5th-6th place, which did not qualify them for any prize money.
