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 [[Businessperson|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.<ref>{{Cite web |date= |title=FURIA: a organização de André Akkari que surpreendeu no CS:GO e que tem torcida até de Neymar |url=https://sportv.globo.com/site/e-sportv/csgo/noticia/furia-a-organizacao-de-andre-akkari-que-surpreendeu-no-csgo-e-que-tem-torcida-ate-de-neymar.ghtml |access-date=8 November 2021}}</ref> FURIA has been evolving on the world stage of games, reaching historic milestones among Brazilian teams.
