Furia Esports, stylized as FURIA, is a Brazilian professional esports organization. Furia competes in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Rocket League, League of Legends, Valorant and Rainbow Six: Siege.

In 2022, Furia was named the fourth biggest esports organization in the world by the North American portal Nerd Street.[1]

History

Furia was founded in February 2017 by businessman Jaime Pádua, who was planning to invest in electronic sports, and entrepreneurs André Akkari (professional poker player) and Cris Guedes. These two had similar plans and gave Jaime the ability to structure the project.[2]

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

History

The team would make their first appearance at a Major just two years after their founding at the IEM Katowice Major 2019,[3] although they were eliminated in the New Challengers Stage. Furia continued to improve for the rest of the year, challenging MIBR as the best team in Brazil[4] and finishing runner-up at ECS Season 7.[5]

The team was the highest seeded team from the Americas region going into PGL Major Stockholm 2021,[6] and were eliminated in the quarterfinals. The team was also eliminated in the quarterfinals of PGL Major Antwerp 2022.[7]

On October 7, 2022, Furia qualified, through the America RMR, to the IEM Rio Major 2022.[8]
