junior departs FURIA

12/1/2022 - 19:36

The young American spent exactly one year with FURIA.

Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson has exited FURIA, the organization announced on Wednesday.

The 21-year-old AWPer has been on the bench since June when the organization opted to return to a fully Brazilian lineup, only five months into the American's stint with the team. In the meantime, he has continued to play in North America in a loan deal with Bad News Bears.

junior could reunite with Grim on Complexity

junior's departure from FURIA comes as yet another indication of the AWPer's pending move to Complexity, where he has been tipped to team up with Michael "⁠Grim⁠" Wince as well as three players from Extra Salt as per a December report from HLTV.org.

While competing with Bad News Bears, junior posted a 1.26 rating and was the best performing player on the team by far. Over the five months of play, they won five ESEA Cash Cups, won Fragadelphia 15, and attended ESL Pro League Season 14.

Here is FURIA's current lineup:

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

Nicholas "⁠guerri⁠" Nogueira (coach)

Vinicius "⁠VINI⁠" Figueiredo (inactive)

Getting hyped to see a roster that'll exit every event in groups?

2022-01-13 03:01

No I'm getting hyped for a roster I'll enjoy watching. Win or lose.

nothing is better than sex, except for lots of money (which can be spent on more sex)

2022-01-12 19:42

cuddles>sex

2022-01-12 22:10

If one day you would "divide" a person with someone, as people triangle, you get cuddles and the partner have sex

Rock climbing is better

Nice. gl maestro

Furia best org loaned Junior for pennies to help him GL on the future

I dont really like them, but that was a really wholesome move from them

2022-01-12 19:55

fucked ablej tho

2022-01-12 20:12

They needed an awper an able was not performing well at the time But he literraly fell into the Limbo

2022-01-12 20:14

yeah but they could free him from his 5 years crontract, like they did with junior. This destroyed his carrer.

2022-01-12 20:19

2022-01-12 19:41

nobody moved lul

2022-01-12 19:43

unexpected

idk why FURIA even bothered to get junior just to bench him 5 months earlier. kid was wrecking t2 NA cs, hadn't played in t1 before and didn't speak the language. if anything, he should have been a long term project.

2022-01-12 19:45

twitter.com/furia/status/140053890664757.. explained. have english subs.

2022-01-12 19:47

tbh the plan should have been for junior to go on portuguese classes and basically be able to speak portuguese in a year or so, maybe put him in the academy team so he could play on the weplay league. atleast that's my view when it comes to teams with 4 players of 1 nationality (like old BIG)

Agreed but its just not what usualy happens god knows why…. The only time i’ve heard it been this way was back in mibr 1.6 where they had some europeans and they had to learn portuguese

2022-01-12 22:07

Guerri seems like a pretty good guy

2022-01-12 22:29

Furia got the semifinals of ProLeague with Junior! Was a great place tbh.

2022-01-12 19:46

lmao what

2022-01-12 19:51

this guy was touted as the next s1mple lmao

2022-01-12 19:59

Lmao what

If he found consistency he will return to tier-1 some day

2022-01-12 20:00

ofc grim and junior are both really good players grim wasted talent on liquid and junior language barrier, back to english will def make them play better

2022-01-13 04:16

good luck to him

2022-01-12 20:03

Junior and grim released its time 👀

2022-01-12 20:04

ITS TIME

2022-01-12 20:15

S2 Junior.

2022-01-12 22:30

Legit NA's hottest prospect imo.

2022-01-12 23:15

Agreed. Way too hot for CS.

2022-01-13 04:07

Idk, he might not be a hot prospect in any other game though. Clearly CS is where he belongs, and NA really needs him, they don't have any decent players left.

2022-01-13 05:06

2022-01-12 23:38

makes no sense to put a gringo in the team if he doesn't speak the team language
