Media: FURIA bench drop

15-6-2023 16:51

André "⁠drop⁠" Abreu is purportedly on the chopping block as the Brazilians look to revamp their roster after a lackluster spring season.

FURIA's off-season overhaul is starting to get underway as the team have benched drop, according to a report by Dust2.com.br. The Brazilians are searching for a player outside of the academy team, but high buyouts could lead FURIA to promote Kaue "⁠kauez⁠" Kaschuk as a last resort.

paiN join fight for FalleN with FURIA - Report

The move comes amid wider reports of FURIA's interest in Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo. The Brazilian skipper was initially linked to a move with his countrymen in early June, with paiN also allegedly throwing their hat into the ring a short time later on June 6.

Dust2.com.br also stated in their report that FalleN, who would take Rafael "⁠saffee⁠" Costa's place on the team, and FURIA have had their first meeting surrounding a potential signing, but that nothing is confirmed as of yet.

drop has reportedly been moved to the bench after a disappointing first half of the year

drop had been a part of FURIA's starting lineup for close to two years, linking up with Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan and company in August 2021 when he was promoted from the organization's academy roster as a replacement for Lucas "⁠honda⁠" Cano.

The 19-year-old was consistently the weakest link during his two-year stint with the Brazilian side. He departs the active roster with a 0.96 rating over 204 maps to his name. That number slips down to 0.89 when filtered for just 2023, with drop trailing Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato (1.22), the team's best performer, by a considerable margin.

FURIA as a whole have had an underwhelming performance so far this year. The team's only positive tournament run came at the BLAST.tv Paris Major Americas RMR in Mexico, where they finished in first place to pick up the sole Legends Stage berth up for grabs. Outside of that campaign, FURIA finished the $1.25 million spectacle in France in 15-16th place, crashed out of IEM Katowice in the Play-In stage, and exited ESL Pro League Season 17 in 9-12th place.

The Brazilians already have a number of tournament outings scheduled for when play resumes after the player break. The arT-led roster will return to competition in time for the IEM Cologne Play-In on July 25-26.

According to the report, FURIA are now:

Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos
Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan
Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato
Rafael "⁠saffee⁠" Costa

Nicholas "⁠guerri⁠" Nogueira (coach)

André "⁠drop⁠" Abreu (benched)

Guess he was “dropped”

he said he'll play again if the guys are good and want to win real titles. Fer and Fallen once wanted to team up with Yuurih and KS. So now would be a great opportunity.

2023-06-15 17:31

LMAO "Outside EU and CIS". What region is left??? U just said vini IS the best supp player among brazillians and North americans lol, thats not a huge compliment

2023-06-15 17:38

Ué, he is the best support we can currently have, or do you know any better? In addition, he is a solid and constant player, always maintaining his 1.00 rating 🤷

2023-06-15 17:41

the best support in the Americas is Fallen

2023-06-15 22:31

Ahhh yes because discussing the top European players is super relevant to Brazilian lineups and who should play in what Brazilian team.

2023-06-15 18:06

NO, U

2023-06-16 15:55

Vini had dogshit stats just like drop when furia benched him. I get that vini isnt a bad player, but its not like his kick wasnt justified at all in the time (and furia had a brief period of improvement after he got kicked)

vini wasnt benched dumb, he was traded

drop didn't replace Vini, they even played the Stockholm Major together... was saffee who replaced Vini, at that moment arT was playing as awper

2023-06-15 18:47

2023-06-16 02:41

bro wtf is going on

this was pretty obvious

+1 the most obvious change

2023-06-15 16:53

its the obvious change but imo its not the one they needed. they need a better awper and possibly an IGL instead of art

Tbh i'd just start with new igl saffee could be better without art.

2023-06-15 21:14

2023-06-16 08:40

+1 I think they need to change at least 1 more player.

How much can drop bench though?

The amount of weight an individual can bench press can vary significantly depending on several factors, including their strength level, training experience, body composition, and genetic factors.

2023-06-15 21:18

Now get skullz and Zevy

yh get zevy the guy that costted 380k to Pain and does not have good performances as of recently, lol

2023-06-15 16:59

I mean he is insane and he JUST did have a kid so his form will be off

2023-06-15 17:01

0.97 rating in 2023 against top 30 for an awper that is not even IGLing is not good, even FalleN has a better rating and he still IGL's and micro manages his team. -> Furia -Saffee -drop, +FalleN + Skullz/ Vini/ Fer (if they dont want to spend money)

2023-06-15 17:06

Already know i can ignore ur opiniom cause Fer retired.

Bro, I never said I want fer in that team, I said whats most likely to happen. But on thing is true, you can't doubt him, he came back last year, and showed what he can do.

2023-06-15 18:55

I could have not asked more, to be honest. I did not even ask, I just told them that I couldn't play anymore and that I was done, but they did not accept that. It was not in a bad way, they just told me that they had a solution for that and that we could find something to fix it, like for example staying more in Brazil or maybe just having one week of boot camp and staying [home] for longer. They just helped me a lot and that gave me a lot more hunger to play with them so this Major is going to be really special for me. There are no expectations for it, just to have fun and do our best, and if it's going to be my last tournament, it would be really nice to play it with these guys.

2023-06-15 20:16

yes, and recently on a stream he said that he would be down if a GOOD team called him. Im portuguese, and I follow the brazilian scene a lot, and im informing you (in case you dont know) that fer is being linked with furia. Just that and btw, he wanted to stop because of family and personal problems

2023-06-15 20:23

No good team will call him i checked he was decent but not for a team that wants to win something. If g2 barely wins something then having someone like Fer will only take u tier 2 tournaments. He was amazing but now his aim is too shaky even sometimes loses control of his mice/pad lol also does too much mistakes u live maybe in nostalgia. Skullz is the only player they should get if they want someone better. And vini wont happen as he got kicked already.

2023-06-15 20:29

Ah yes the classic -Vini +Vini

Imo they should: -farT +biguzera -drop +skullz -saffee +nqz

2023-06-15 17:33

biguzera kekw If art played against ESL Challenger teams he would look like the best IGL and rifler in the world

2023-06-15 22:38

bb bot

2023-06-15 16:55

good decision! but sad for drop hope he joins mibr or something

00nation might be his only hope tho mibr would be better for him

2023-06-15 16:57

Drop in pain with saffe

2023-06-16 02:50

if fluxo get the trio, not bad

2023-06-16 20:33

2023-06-15 16:56

unfortunate for him, right decision tho obviously. +who now?

LUL

AND THEY KEEP ART?

Wrong decision obviously, arT is the problem and he cannot make the team work and most of the times put drop in bad situations.

If only -drop FURIA still won't do shit

!drop

bring back the GOAT honda

Kekw

big W

2023-06-15 17:00

why put media lmao, just write Dust2BR

Now bench Art please

2023-06-15 17:03

he is so bad

2023-06-15 17:04

he is lesser issue than saffee and art but okay :D

Finally!

drop dropped

NIP all over again. -5th +5th repeat until complete collapse.

Oof finally

Took way too long

2023-06-15 17:07

people saying "finally" obviously hasnt watched their games and seen that arT is the problem. Drop is not fantastic but he truly is not the problem, he is just an alright role player

hltv.org/player/19750/drop He's not alright in anything

2023-06-15 17:25

bruh look at the team he is playing with, saffee no impact AWPer and arT who cant igl or frag lol

2023-06-15 17:57

Its not about stats. I just wanna show u one example game. hltv.org/matches/2364389/furia-vs-og-iem.. Just watch last few rounds. What the hell is he doing in this map? His decision making, csgo iq is shit btw. Even in one round if he hide, they should have won round, because enemy had short time to plant a bomb(around 5 sec). But he decided to fight and lost round ahahahahha. hltv.org/stats/matches/performance/mapst.. and 0.35 impact rating when 16:14 ahahah

+1 lúcid guy

2023-06-16 02:51

hes terrible stat wise, his aim is shaky, and he gets pretty nervous in big matches. He have a god like match twice a month, rest of the time hes a bot.

2023-06-15 21:00

there are better players than him and he probably should be replaced but the fact that only he is reported to go is insane. They need to replace arT and saffee aswell. If they get FalleN which sadly is probably the best thing they can get aslong as they dont go international, I feel like this lineup would be cool: KSCERATO yuurih FalleN boltz JOTA/chelo (VINI could be good aswell)

2023-06-16 00:05

Maybe saffee will be replaced as well, we dont know. But art definetly wont be. Fallen probably coming in, and will possibly take igling duties. Art still is one of the best entry fraggers/info gatherers in the world, no need to replace him. Boltz is too old imo, would rather get skullz or dumau (i think he can do wonders with fallen) Your lineup is not bad, but i think it would lack firepower. Art (entry, second caller) Fallen (igl, awp, support. Same in imperial) Kscerato (star rifler, anchor) Yuurih (2nd entry, rotator) Dumau would fit roles better (lurker, anchor). Skullz would have some role clashes, since he cant be anchor.

2023-06-16 00:33

i think arT is heavily overrated in 2023, boltz has shown year after yeae how solid he is even though he just take lesser roles. Dumau is more skilled yes, but we have yuurih and kscerato who needs their space and I rate both of them over him.

2023-06-16 03:19

Now sign fer please

nah, keep the has-been away

2023-06-15 17:12

finally, he just wasnt good enough

Interesting, that whenever (big) problems occur, teams start to look at the support players first...

0.85 rating - literally the same tier as 33 year old Karrigan. Worst non IGL player I've ever seen play in tier 1. "Support player" stops being an excuse after a while

What about the 0.98 awper (last three months)? What about art, who is criticized every day here for several months? I don't say -drop is a bad idea but it's funny that it's the support player (again).

2023-06-15 17:27

I honestly cant understand ppl trashing art when his players cant perform. Keep blaming the ENTRY igl, when the awper cant finish a series with a positive KD. Ppl keep closing their eyes for yuurih, who honestly has been way below average this season.

2023-06-15 23:19

I don't think anyone in Furia is excited about saffee. But there is no S-Tier brazilian awper at the moment, so there is less pressure to sub him out. On the other hand there are good rifler prospects

2023-06-16 03:04

Bring syrsoN ez major :)

2023-06-16 14:23

aight, but being a support doesn't justify that he's straight up a poor performer, not to mention his bad aim and decision making

THANK GOD drop, it's in the name i still don't know why they kept this trash kid, pretty much went negative in every event he went to

2023-06-15 17:14

Insert pun

2023-06-15 17:15

FURIA dropped drop an AK-47

finally +skullz +FalleN as coach -guerri

He got dropped from furia, yikes

2023-06-15 17:21

Finally no paycheck for him

benched players are still being payed

im expecting drop to come back stronger! good luck André !!!

2023-06-15 17:22

Thank you!

2023-06-15 20:42

Thanks bro i apreciet that

2023-06-16 02:53

Best news for Brazilian fans since SK winning the major

2023-06-15 17:23

I like Drop, I hope he bounces back. Right move for Furia tho.

2023-06-15 17:24

wellcome dumau

and bot art still there

Deez nuts

Furia was never the same after HEN1 left the team.. let's see who will get picked. Needs to be someone with firepower like Chelo or Jota perhaps (assuming Fallen will leave Imperial and the project gets dropped)

+1 they were so dominant when art would hit those.opening shots, not no more lol

2023-06-15 17:43

finally drop dropped

2023-06-15 17:36

and they will bring another academy kid just to see like he shit bed in t1

2023-06-15 17:37

There is precedent - Mibr got lucky with insani

2023-06-15 22:48

-art -saffee +vini +fallen +anyone better than drop

2023-06-15 17:40

Chelo

Now all they need to do is sign FalleN and fer, and then the team will place even worse!

Art needs go to! Horrible igl. Always first to die.

2023-06-15 17:42

+1 such a shame as IGL. I know he was one of the key players to bring Furia where they are, but if they want to win something now, he needs to go.

Imagine dropping VINI for drop… Jokes aside drop seems like a good guy, he’s just not ready for tier 1 yet. But he’s still young and have a lot of time to grow so let’s wish him success is his future endeavors.

2023-06-15 17:47

VINI was kicked for saffee. VINI and drop even played together. Drop was signed because HEN1 left the team to play with LUCAS1 and kNgV (dumb move by HEN1 in my opinion).

still wont get anywhere with arT

2023-06-15 17:53

Welcome FalleN! edit: support is scapegoat again, wtf

2023-06-15 17:55

It's always support or igl first .

2023-06-15 18:21

FURIA poor kekw.

finally, couldn't wait to finally see it happen. He was so bad

2023-06-15 17:56

They should replace Saffee and Drop/ They will give Saffee +++ for Fallen to Imperial and to be honest Imperial with Saffee would do well, However, Drop and Saffe on Pain would also get extremely strong. Yuuri Kscerato Fallen Art Lucaozy/Fer/Chelo

2023-06-15 18:04

Vini, Jota, dgt, skullz and biguzera are also other good options

Vini would not be better entry than art, Jota will be the new IGL in Imperial therefore he wont come, Skullz and biguzera are the core of Pain so no chance to come and Fallen > IGL than Biguzera, so no point to bring him in.

doop

FURIA bench press

2023-06-15 18:07

bring VINI back

2023-06-15 18:13

2023-06-15 18:15

You had a chance to name the article "MEDIA: FURIA DROP DROP" and you didn't do it. Disappointed

not prepared to play against europeans, unlucko

2023-06-15 18:19

That must have been loud if the benches of FURIA are heavy

Thank god, this kid is complete garbage.

2023-06-15 18:23

FINALLY THANKS GOD

2023-06-15 18:29

finally lol

2023-06-15 18:32

Please please please bring in an IGL and make an entry and secondary caller

now add skullz and -saffee +Papa FalleN

2023-06-15 19:02

Would be sick

2023-06-15 19:30

I honestly hadn't realized he'd been on the roster for that long. Always looked at him as the new guy.

2023-06-15 19:05

Finally!!!!!!!

2023-06-15 19:07

Damn i didnt see that comming, geuss the got the drop on me

2023-06-15 19:29

Furia should leave csgo after that 7-1 choke infron of home crowd to heroic

2023-06-15 19:38

That's a shame, when he is given space - he's an aim god, his Mirage is probably one of the better ones out there

2023-06-15 19:39

bench best player?

2023-06-15 19:40

Yes, they benched 8 time major winner

2023-06-15 19:54

Good Luck for the future

2023-06-15 19:50

not only FalleN

2023-06-15 19:55

The only chance Brazil has at a legit contender is for Kscerato and Yuurih to join forces with some of the Pain guys tbh

2023-06-15 20:06

You get it my friend

2023-06-15 20:20

Yeah, but i doubt bigu and skullz will be joining furia

2023-06-16 00:36

drop bench FURIA

2023-06-15 20:09

expected

about time

2023-06-15 20:21

His addition to Furia was the most nonsense thing I've ever seen, he had 0,9 rating in the academy team! Playing against 12yo kids from other academy teams in Brazil.

2023-06-15 20:22

expectered, now saffee

2023-06-15 20:36

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

2023-06-15 20:46

soo expected xd

2023-06-15 20:56

2023-06-15 21:02

But what about Furia bench press?

2023-06-15 21:12

Yuurih 100kg Kscerato 60kg Saffee 60 kg Art 45 kg Drop 35 kg Guerri 8000kg

2023-06-16 00:37

Almost 2 years too late, but i guess better late than never. I mean, he never ever even showed any potential. Just whyyyy did they still keep him for 2 whole years? Did he blackmail them or something.

2023-06-15 21:20
