Yuurih: Furia ‘deserves’ title of Brazil’s premier CSGO team over MiBR
FURIA Esports has been in the shadow of CSGO’s iconic Brazilian org MiBR for years, but Yuri ‘yuurih’ Gomes believes his club “deserves” to be the country’s premier name in the esport heading into the future.
For years, CSGO had recurring Brazilian faces that would basically serve as national reps of South America. So when more homegrown projects start to scratch the surface of international appeal, they’re instantly compared to the teams led by Gabriel ‘FalleN’ Toledo, namely MiBR. But the biggest stars from Brazil aren’t competing for the nation anymore, and that’s opened the door for new countrymen to take the spotlight. And now, it’s FURIA’s time to shine. “We work a lot,” Yuurih said to Dexerto as to why they deserve to be the premier Brazilian org. There was a time where FURIA was never mentioned without MiBR being brought up, but that time may finally be at an end, Yuurih suggested.
Yuurih doesn’t deny their predecessors’ place in Brazil’s CSGO history. Instead, he’s looking to the next chapter of all-time greats by leading the pack in 2021.
FURIA will look to add to their ever-growing story on Tuesday, April 13, when they go up against MiBR in the Round of 16 at the Spring Showdown 2021. Only two teams will move onto the $425,000 Spring Finals in June.Dexerto’s Matt Porter contributed to this report.
