The Brazilian team implemented the announced changes to their CS2 team, Andrei "arT" Piovezan was transferred to the bench, and for now Kayke "kye" Bertolucci, a player from their academy, will fill his place.
After more than six years, arT is leaving FURIU. The popular player came as a big reinforcement from INTZ eSports and was the star of the team for a long time, but in the past period he was often the target of criticism due to his poor form.
FURIA still holds a solid 14th place in the HLTV ranking of the best teams in the world, but it is not enough to meet the criteria of this CS2 giant. They enter the continuation of the competition year with big plans, which include the formation of a new academy in Europe, which could easily mean that FURIA will be open in the rest of the year and sail into international waters.
What is important to note is that kye is only in the team to complete the squad for the Global Esports Tour Rio, while FURIA is looking for a permanent fifth player.
In addition to this change, there has also been a change in the organization itself, the team's current coach Nicholas "guerri" Nogueira will take over the role of esports director, which means that a new head coach will also be brought in.
Veteran Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo will take over the role of IGL, and along with the organization will assist in recruiting new players.
