FURIA's analyst, Vyacheslav "innersh1ne" Britvin, recently disclosed that Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo has confirmed his participation in the CS2 roster for the upcoming year, 2025. Despite their setback at the Shanghai Major 2024, where they narrowly missed the playoffs, Britvin commended the team's overall performance, noting a significant climb in the rankings throughout the season. These insights were shared by Britvin on the messaging platform Telegram.
Reflecting on their match against FaZe Clan at the Shanghai Major 2024, FURIA faced defeat in a bo3 series and fell just short of securing a spot in the playoffs. Despite being at a disadvantage with a score of 2:10 on the final map, the team demonstrated resilience, nearly executing a remarkable comeback as the score reached 10:12.
The 33-year-old veteran player, FalleN, has previously contemplated retirement on several occasions. Even prior to his tenure with FURIA, he expressed uncertainty about his future in competitive play. With the Shanghai Major marking his 16th appearance at a Valve tournament, the experienced in-game leader has secured victories in two tournaments back in 2016, instrumental in elevating Brazil's presence on the global CS scene.
