FURIA confirm signing of Brazilian CSGO icon FalleN FURIAFURIA have announced that they have completed the signing of two-time CS:GO Major champion Gabriel \u2018FalleN\u2019 Toledo. The 32-year-old leaves Imperial for an undisclosed fee after FURIA beat paiN Gaming to the veteran\u2019s signing. FalleN is joined in this new challenge by Marcelo \u2018chelo\u2019 Cespedes, who left Imperial after one year with the team. The announcement finally brings together FalleN, the most famous CS:GO player from Brazil, and the country\u2019s two greatest stars, Kaike \u2018KSCERATO\u2019 Cerato and Yuri \u2018yuurih\u2019 Santos. It is a union that many thought would never happen despite years of mutual interest. While playing under MIBR, FalleN tried to get KSCERATO and yuurih to join the team, but neither move materialized because of FURIA\u2019s valuation of the players. \u201cFalleN\u2019s arrival represents a moment of unity for Brazilian esports,\u201d FURIA co-founder and co-CEO Andr\u00e9 Akkari said in a statement. \u201cIt is a milestone for the community, which longed for a team that represented the best Brazil has to offer to return to the top of the world in CS. \u201cDifferences and obstacles were overcome, and the Brazilian esports community can celebrate this moment.\u201d FalleN signs with FURIA With this announcement, FalleN is expected to put off retirement for the time being. Exactly a year ago, he said that he was planning to hang up his mouse and keyboard by the end of 2023. The Brazilian veteran, who won the MLG Columbus and ESL One Cologne Majors in 2016, will give FURIA a significant and much-needed injection of experience. The team cut a frustrated figure during the first tournament season, their season hitting its lowest point when they crashed out of the BLAST.tv Paris Major in the Legends Stage without a single victory. Just weeks after a 9th-12th place finish at IEM Dallas, FURIA removed Rafael \u2018saffee\u2019 Costa and Andr\u00e9 \u2018drop\u2019 Abreu from the starting lineup. Both players have since signed with MIBR. FURIA\u2019s new team will make its first official appearance at IEM Cologne, which will kick off on July 26. In August, the team will also attend Gamers8\u2019s $1 million CS:GO tournament. FURIA\u2019s new CS:GO team: Andrei \u2018arT\u2019 Piovezan – Kaike \u2018KSCERATO\u2019 Cerato – Yuri \u2018yuurih\u2019 Santos – Gabriel \u2018FalleN\u2019 Toledo – Marcelo \u2018chelo\u2019 Cespedes –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
