FURIA sign academy roster

22/8/2019 - 02:31

After releasing their previous academy roster at the start of the year, FURIA have announced the signing of a new band of Brazilians under the FURIA Academy banner.

Among the signed players is 16-year-old Olavo "⁠heat⁠" Marcelo, who most recently competed for Falkol in the StarLadder Major Americas Minor South America Closed Qualifier, managing a 9-12th placing following losses to Isurus and Reapers.

Alongside heat, Vinicius "⁠vn⁠" Ramos and coach Leonardo "⁠msr⁠" Caixeta were brought on board, while the final trio of players were signed following tryouts: Marcelo "⁠PLEEtS⁠" Leite, Rodrigo “proSHOW” Guluzian and Gabriel “skN” Lijenko.

FURIA Inagame have returned with a fresh five

The signing of the players marks FURIA Academy's third roster, with a number of notable names previously competing under the banner including FURIA's very own Kaike "⁠KSCERATO⁠" Cerato, Vinicius "⁠VINI⁠" Figueiredo, and Rinaldo "⁠ableJ⁠" Moda Junior. DETONA and W7M players Matheus "⁠Tuurtle⁠" Anhaia and Antonio "⁠realz1n⁠" Oliveira also played on the roster in 2018 before making their way to their current teams.

In a statement on their website, FURIA CEO Jamie Padua commented that “the goal of the FURIA Academy project is to have a strong team also on national soil and provide opportunities for players to break into the competitive landscape of the sport.”

FURIA Academy will debut next week when they compete in the GamersClub Open League with the following roster:

Brazil Olavo "⁠heat⁠" Marcelo
Brazil Marcelo "⁠PLEEtS⁠" Leite
Brazil Vinicius "⁠vn⁠" Ramos
Brazil Rodrigo “proSHOW” Guluzian
Brazil Gabriel “skN” Lijenko

Brazil Leonardo "⁠msr⁠" Caixeta (Coach)

And because of this you gonna hate them for their entire existence? Racist scumbag, can u finally understand they are more than a team, players like org and org like players , they wanna stick together regardless of their results, they told u teams were trying to buy kscerato since day 1, maybe thats what they are trying to prevent? Because guess what, mibr arent trying anymore, maybe it wasnt bad afterall? Dumbass

When VP signed their 5 year contracts while being 30yo everyone was saying wow cool! esports is developing, so happy for them, this is epic bla bla bla lol, while it was obvious they wont be good for 5 more years straight, i thought they would fall off in 2 years but it happened way earlier And btw did any of VP players had problem being benched in the org for 5 years? Uhm no? then why are you crying? FURIA will release them just like that if any player wants to go Now because it didnt work out with VP yall acting like smartasses shitting on FURIA... because of their contracts... lol... Ofc they wont be getting finals every tournament because that was an overachievement but they showed their potential, and they are already doing better than VP I just cant understand why you cant get over it, btw, fun fact, s1mple will stay in NaVi for more than 5 years, i can guarantee you that, NaVi's CEO just wont let him go, even though he doesnt have a 5 year contract, how does that feel?!

Isn’t coldzera last name Marcelo???? If so this kid is in for a long time, once heat gets some exiperence he will go to Furia for AbleJ and than to LG In NA, than climb up to MIBR to be the next ColdZera while cold is smudging kioBaNg in FPL Europe, while snuffing in FaZe.
