Since 2019, FURIA have become the definition of Brazilian Counter-Strike. Their relentless, aggressive playstyle combined with the gracious performances of core players Andrei “arT” Piovezan, Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato, and Yuri “yuurih” Santos has impressed fans and personalities from all over the world, even though they’ve never won an S-tier international LAN tournament.
In 2022, however, the pressure on FURIA’s shoulders has increased. After the Brazilians fell in the quarterfinals of the PGL Antwerp Major in May, they had some middling results, such as an early elimination at ESL Challenger Valencia in July, a one-sided loss to Outsiders in the round of 12 of ESL Pro League season 16 in September, and failed to secure Legend status in the upcoming IEM Rio Major, meaning they’ll have to begin the tournament in Brazil in the Challengers Stage for the first time since the StarLadder Berlin Major in 2019.
