Media: FalleN chooses FURIA as negotiations begin

20-6-2023 09:19

FURIA are now in negotiations with Imperial for the veteran captain's transfer.

Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo has chosen to join FURIA according to a report by Dust2.com.br. The organization has reportedly held meetings with the Brazilian about a possible transfer and are now in the process of negotiating with Imperial.

The report says FURIA have already submitted an offer, but the sum amounts to less than the agreed buyout for the 32-year-old in his contract. The fee is also said to be lower than the amount paid by Imperial to acquire FalleN from Liquid.

The report comes amidst an ongoing shuffle in Brazil, which has FalleN at the center. The veteran had several other options to consider, including joining paiN, remaining in Imperial, or quitting competition altogether.

FalleN has reportedly chosen FURIA as his next destination

The possible transfer of the Brazilian skipper FURIA puts Rafael "⁠saffee⁠" Costa's position in danger. FURIA also reportedly informed André "⁠drop⁠" Abreu that he won't be a part of the team's plan going into the fall season, leaving an open spot on the roster regardless of whether FURIA manage to come to an agreement with Imperial over FalleN's transfer. The organization has looked to other Brazilian teams for a replacement, but high buyouts might lead them to promote Kaue "⁠kauez⁠" Kaschuk from their academy roster instead.

These reports come after a disappointing first half of 2023 for the Brazilian squad, which resulted in no silverware and just one first-place finish at the Americas RMR for the BLAST.tv Paris Major. FURIA were eliminated in the quarter-finals at IEM Rio before crashing out in 15-16th place from the last CS:GO Major with losses to Monte, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and G2.

Media: FURIA bench drop

FURIA will not compete at the upcoming BLAST Premier Fall Groups, meaning they are not bound by the roster lock deadlines that partnered teams in the franchise will be subject to. The Brazilian roster won't see action until the IEM Cologne Play-In later in August on July 25-26.

Should FalleN join FURIA, the roster would look as follows:

Andrei "⁠arT⁠" Piovezan
Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato
Yuri "⁠yuurih⁠" Santos
Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo

Nicholas "⁠guerri⁠" Nogueira (coach)

André "⁠drop⁠" Abreu (benched)
Rafael "⁠saffee⁠" Costa (benched)

how is this happening after the whole twitter bullying saga years ago

great argument hltv.org/stats/players/2023/fallen?start.. hltv.org/stats/players/3972/hunter?start.. And on top of this take into consideration that Fallen (player that I actually dont have anything against, but you seem to think otherwise) plays with AWP were its easier to have better stats. I still like him more that art but him having 32 is what I was trying to point out.

on the other hand, beeing igl makes it harder to frag and he is a passive awper. idk why you are tryting to compare a legend with a regular pro player but whatever man :-)

Because he is legend for what he did it the past, not what hes doing right now

ANYONE IS BETTER THAN HOOXI

2023-06-20 18:13

he is awper of course hes rating gonna be higher

2023-06-20 21:41

i never mentioned rating

2023-06-21 16:42

don't fight my friends... who supports Furia is happy with this move... most of the people who are against it and think the team will get worse, don't support Furia... so that's good for us and good for you, we're all happy

2023-06-20 13:37

and why are they happy? this is not good move

cause this is just your opinion, anyone who thinks differently isn't necessarily wrong I might think it's a good move

2023-06-20 21:49

You might but you would be wrong you could say that its not downgrade but this move definitely won't take furia to next level

2023-06-20 21:57

you're just not smart enough yet to understand why... just sit and wait

2023-06-21 08:08

delusion is insane

2023-06-21 10:09

Hunter played almost 7x the amount of rounds Fallen played, with a better team. Yeah, it’s possible to have good performances when your team doesn’t, but most likely, as neither of these are STAR players, they’re gonna perform like the average of their team.

He is making sure that if he can't have success no one else in Brazil can. Took players from MIBR which were going up and is ditching them now, going to Furia with probably a academy player or taking out a player from Pain who is going upwards too. My guy rather see others fail than himself succeed.

2023-06-20 13:21

How do you ruin something that never worked on first place?

2023-06-20 13:48

It worked when Hen1 was on the team.

2023-06-20 14:11

2023-06-20 14:24

Worked against NA teams As soon as they went to Europe for like three events they got smashed

2023-06-20 18:42

Kscerato had a big leap in performance in Europe. The team would be able to adapt to the EU scene.

2023-06-20 19:02

The only time it even worked was during their miracle run in the Rio major where they could've been grand finalists if they didnt choke against heroic :>

furia is in malta now

2023-06-20 09:26

wait really? so they have to travel to NA now for regional americas qualifiers and stuff but is based in malta?

2023-06-20 09:29

they have an office or something in malta now but it's not known how long they'll be there each seasons

2023-06-20 09:31

What qualifiers? For Major 2 times a year like Renegades used to do? They are partner team of ESL, they don't need to play any qualifiers unless they want to play something like Blast that mostly has like one slot only.

2023-06-20 09:33

you just answered your own question lmao

Just surprised that you are surprised, that's all.

Are they looking to revenge konfig?

The HQ is in Malta. Don't know where the actual players stay most of the time

I sense it coming

2023-06-20 09:44

Fer support roles?

2023-06-20 10:37

fer, yuurih and kscerato are very good players roles can be adapted and these adaptations are always easier to make with good players

2023-06-20 13:41

ferMONSTER used to be an entry and i'd say he was still good at it in imperial, make art play support

2023-06-20 16:47

fallen calmness and art's explosiveness

Fallen is sure a legendary player and gave huge impact to overall e sports in brazil. But people should stop being delusional especially Furia managers cuz fallen cant catch up to tier1. And if furia really wants to be at least on contenders level than they should stop chasing old legends. And please no need to answer me with like “ he beat recently vitality and etc etc.” first of all they anyway lost and secondly not fallen beat but the team)

2023-06-20 09:40

13 replies

Not sure about that tbh They are obviously hiring him for the IGL part not his 2023 sniping prowess ( which is still better than saffee more often than not lol )

2023-06-20 09:46

What's being said in Brazil for the last couple weeks is that arT will remain as IGL so not sure about what you just said also lol

2023-06-20 10:21

Good then that's the thing I would want to see ideally : FalleN giving it a last go while focusing 120% on his scope and Furia reverting to their aggressive style. I doubt he doesn't second call or end up calling though, especially since Furia's IGLing has been bad lately.

Where did you heard that? I find it very hard to believe that art keeps IGLing if they get fallen

2023-06-20 13:51

he's right, and thats how it should be, FalleN ain't a tier 1 awper or igl, doing both is even worse

2023-06-20 19:31

Lmao Where arT strats lead FURIA to? They always choke on playoffs, not even the crowd buff was able to make them win something. Only reason FURIA is consistently on top 15 rankings is because they farm NA teams in qualifiers

2023-06-20 21:35

Imperial was dead last for like 8 tournaments in a row bro 32 teams, 16 teams, 24 teams, always last. FURIA ain't playing in NA for some good time now, you're using what kind of drugs?

2023-06-21 15:46

So what? Look at this Imperial roster, only Chelo and VINI would be considered tier 1 players and neither would be star players on any top 10 team. Boltz was bad for his entire ternure on Imperial, only turned his monitor on the last months. JOTA is fine but inconsistent as fuck. Imagine going to the semifinals of Blast finals with this team. In the other hand, arT had KSCERATO and yuuriih, one a top 3 and the other top 10 rifler and they achieved nothing. Fluke runs here and there but never considered favorites to win titles. Their best results are semifinals

2023-06-21 15:53

Where did you get that from? does not apply at all

2023-06-21 08:13

let's wait and see

2023-06-21 14:16

Ok, it makes no sense to hire fallen if it's not to be igl and art support in calls.

2023-06-21 21:47

Have you watched his last 3 games Vs. Vitality, Col, G2 and Heroic??? I think he don't need to prove nothing to no one. If aim would win games, G2 would have won major with Monesy....

2023-06-20 19:47

heroic took a long time getting out that last title, always coming second, and you weren't here commenting on why they lost in many ways and still remain top 1. that makes you more of an ignorant who thinks he's smart

it can be up to tier 10 and it would still hit the bug clan lol

2023-06-21 08:19

Why? Imperial played so good on the BLAST

2023-06-20 10:02

NICE! Now sign fer too!

2023-06-20 10:03

-art ???

2023-06-20 10:08

Will probably stay as hard entry. Also if they change art, saffee and drop, they lose HLTV and ESL ranking points almost completely.

2023-06-20 11:41

ah yeah, forgot about that

2023-06-20 11:49

+ EliGE and lets go , speak English :D

2023-06-20 10:09

I heard elige speaks OK portugeese

He does

2023-06-20 12:47

elige is a genius

Im almost sure he can work well in a portuguese speaking environment

2023-06-20 23:35

signing 32 year old... don't get me wrong - Fallen is a great player and a legend of the game, but this is not a long term transfer that can get them trophies

2023-06-20 10:11

Didn't FAZE do the same with Karrigan?

All talk until we see the real thing

2023-06-20 14:36

it's still better than with drop and saffe on the team. believe it.

2023-06-21 08:21

yuurih aint a top 10 rifler at the moment, and I don't think fallen will fork with AWP either, but I hope they will prove me wrong

2023-06-20 14:46

>Kserato top3 meds, this instant

2023-06-22 15:16

I can only see Niko and Axile above him overall rifling. Even Furia being at a slump recently, Kscerato still has a 1.19 rating on top events in 2023.

2023-06-22 17:19

That wasn’t the case when Karrigan joined. They were really good players but far from being superstars on their previous teams.

2023-06-20 17:13

totally +1

Who will be fifth then?

Maybe Kauez, or fer, idk.

team will never reach #1, why even bother

2023-06-20 10:14

Nice

2023-06-20 10:17

didnt 2faced toledo say if he were to continue play he would move to eu? typical

2023-06-20 10:18

FURIA bootcamping in EU.

2023-06-20 10:20

Furia announced that they'll move to Malta for CS2

2023-06-20 10:28

still dont make them an EU team lul

2023-06-20 11:43

FalleN didn't say he would play for an EU team... he said he wanted to live in EU

2023-06-20 12:56

2023-06-20 10:49

I mean yuurih/KSCERATO are baiters so someone has to entry Dont even think FalleN will IGL, maybe later

2023-06-20 11:04

then what is the purpose to sign Fallen? this is the best awper in BR that they could afford ??

2023-06-20 11:44

Furia is hell bent on not getting Hen1 back

2023-06-20 17:05

Furia just wasting Kscerato's and yuurih's prime years at this point, good job.

who will be the fifth ? i hope not elige

Elige or fer

2023-06-20 12:48

what about JDC? surely he is better than drop?

2023-06-20 11:17

Why the would speak English for only one player when they got amazing player pool in Brazil far away better than Jdc ?

2023-06-20 11:38

Jdc speaks portugese, he has portugese parents (and is an upgrade over drop 100%)

2023-06-20 11:42

With this element ok but I will prefer to saw him playing for big. I préfère national team And Vini > JDC for exemple in my opinion

2023-06-20 11:46

Good shout, vini already had good chemistry with fallen yuurih and kscerato I’m pretty sure

2023-06-20 17:40

We all saw Furia level decreasing since Vini departure and how they were stronger with hen1. This is the most obvious choice for me.

2023-06-20 17:55

everyone is better than drop

2023-06-21 12:29

realistically they should go for ELIGE now, that is, if they get FalleN

2023-06-20 11:58

Insani jota last?

2023-06-20 11:59

If I had to guess... fer, Saffee (rifler), kye (academy) or Elige.

2023-06-20 12:46

skullz JOTA insani best talents imo ,but ye knowing BR politics it gonna be coldzera or smth

2023-06-20 16:36

well , hope he deliver to expectations

FalleN: "If I'm gonna play I'm definitely gonna move to Europe"

2023-06-20 12:02

he didn't lie... Furia's base is installed in Malta now

I think insani needs to be on this team. But on the other hand I’m sad for imperial. I wanted to see them play again after how well they played in Dallas

2023-06-20 12:19

2faced toledo

2023-06-20 12:20

that means Furia is willing to move to Europe. probably Malta.

2023-06-20 12:45

G2 huge L

Huge if they get elige

2023-06-20 12:52

Elige left Liquid cause he doesn't want to move to Europe... now that Furia is also moving to Europe, it wouldn't make sense

2023-06-20 13:07

U tell me that eg that is also trying to get elige and will have an eu mix team are not also not moving to eu the majority of the year and just waste millions in na for pracc vs a random tier 5 na team

2023-06-20 14:56

what I read about it is that Elige intends to continue living in US... I believe he will look for a team that accept this condition

2023-06-20 15:02

Well EG might be trying, but doesn't mean EliGe will accept. Maybe they're trying to lure him with something more than a player contract (like shareholder or something like he's in Liquid rn).

2023-06-20 15:40

Yeah no shit sherlock

2023-06-20 13:04

great news if true

2023-06-20 13:23

2023-06-20 13:30

Thats their plan. Inside info

Pobre eles não são, o Neymar ta envolvido, é só ele abrir o bolso

2023-06-20 15:29

Nah, furia is the richest org in br, they just dont like reckless spending.

2023-06-20 23:38

They should just get skullz at this point - FALLEN (awp/igl) - kscerato (rifle) - yuurih (rifle/lurker) - arT (entry/support) - skullz (rifle) With the team changing the system, arT will play another role

2023-06-20 13:31

just bring in both biguzera and skullz rather than buying out a single one of them. arT is washed and even if 1/4 riflers will get shafted at least they are better players overall.

2023-06-20 13:38

drop fking guerri pls

2023-06-20 13:40

+insani

Skullz please

2023-06-20 13:45

I’m a huge fallen fan but I just don’t understand this move for Furia. I think fallen has experience which will help but he is likely to retire within the year of joining and his Aw ping level is undoubtedly worse than saffee’s. So dropping a young up and coming talent like saffee for a guy that is worse and will only stay for a year maybe two if they are lucky just doesn’t make sense for the org if they are trying to build more of a long term legacy. If they want experience I’d rather have them pick up an experienced role player such as coldzera has been in 00Nation.

2023-06-20 14:09

have you watched saffe last games? he has the exact same impact as fallen , but fallen at least is a igl lol

2023-06-20 17:44

if Fallen coldzera too

2023-06-20 14:18

Kscerato (RIFLER) Yuurih (RIFLER) Fallen (SUP/IGL) HEN1 (AWP) Skullz/Insani (ENTRY) That's a MAD team

2023-06-20 14:21

KSCERATO FALLEN YUURIH ART ELIGE Give us the trophies, ez

that would be funny

2023-06-20 15:12

-fer is playing CS every day now... -he played with yuurih a few days ago and they had never played together before... -Furia isn't looking to spend so much money, they are going to spend a lot with FalleN and fer is free agent... for me these are very clear signs of what is about to happen

2023-06-20 14:34

Just one thing, CS2 WELCOME to BRAZILIAN ERA BACK

2023-06-20 14:50

The real last dance

Wasnt FalleN supposed to retire by 2024?

Yeah. I was always very reluctant on fallen, having in mind the awp meta and the fact he doesnt get a lot of kills. But, hes proven to be a god tier support and one of the best igls in the world (surely the best in brazil). I think he can do wonders with a team with so much firepower. We just need to see if saffee will continue on the team, or if they will get another fifth.

LET'SSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sorry, but you're being naive... You talk and talk about performance, age, etc, but when talking about FalleN, it's not just about an awper/igl, but also along with it comes a lot of marketing, jersey sales and more sponsorships... Whichever team FalleN is on, you can be sure that easily more than 100k spectators will be watching... He is indeed a million dollar player, as he gives the team a lot of financial return.

LOL kick saffee buy fallen, stupid move

the 5th one is gonna be either Fer, Chelo, Insani or EliGE.. CALLING IT

2023-06-20 19:01

I hope they choose fer, this will be the last chance to see him play with yuurih and kscerato Chelo, insani, skullz, Jota and others may have that chance in the future

2023-06-20 21:52

Now +history to replace saffee?

"until the IEM Cologne Play-In later in August on July 25-26." Strange editing. I really don't understand when that Play-In will be. Is that only me?

Two Faced Toledo on it again to ruin another team, blaming everyone but him. Time to steal another paycheck.

Hater spotted.

Get rid of arT. Seriously. He's so bad. All he cares about is opening frags but he dies first 80% the time, furia never get good trades lol. hen1, kscerato, yuurih, fallen, and elige. elige can comm with the Brazilians.

2023-06-21 21:24

Hen1 and Fallen won't work. Also, Elige does not speak the language, there is a difference of know bits and actually talk it. I personally never liked Art also, however, if Fallen became the IGL which is 99% chances of happening duo his experience and resume CV, Art most likely will become an entry/support. If the Fallen, Fer, Yuuri, Kscerato and Art happen, I risk say that the world will witness the best version of Art ever.

Elige does speak the language. Wtf you talking about? Hes fluent in Portuguese. Also art been igl/entry for the last 3 years. Reason why furia doesnt work.
