FURIA Esports, or simply FURIA, is a Brazilian professional esports organization. It works in the professional environment in some games, such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Rocket League, League of Legends, Valorant and Rainbow Six: Siege. Founded in 2017, the team has been standing out in national competitions, including, in recent years, being present in international disputes.
In 2022, it was named the fourth biggest esports organization in the world by the North American portal Nerd Street.[1]
History
Founded in February 2017, FURIA was one of the great revelations of Counter-Strike in South America, even with players, until then, little known to the general public. It was the brainchild of businessman Jaime Pádua, who was already planning to invest in electronic sports, and also entrepreneurs André Akkari (professional poker player) and Cris Guedes. These two plans were similar and assigned to Jaime the mission to structure the project.[2] FURIA has been evolving on the world stage of games, reaching historic milestones among Brazilian teams.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
History
The team would make their first appearance at a major only two years after their founding in 2017 at the IEM Katowice Major 2019, although they would be eliminated in the New Challengers Stage.
