The creation of this team would also bring in Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom in an uncommon position as a reserve player as well as a content creator for the team.[17] On 11 April 2026, the Counter-Strike 2 FUT team would win the PGL Bucharest 2026 tournament, their first notable Counter-Strike trophy[18] and the largest tournament, by prize money, the FUT Esports organization has won.[19]
