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]
On May 6, 2024, the Esports World Cup Foundation, funded by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund and organizers of the Esports World Cup tournament series, announced the 30 organizations (known in the ESWC as Clubs) who would make up the Club Support Program, with Furia being one of them. This program gives teams a one-time six-figure stipend if an organization is willing to enter new esports as well as additional funding each year if they drive viewership and fan engagement to the Esports World Cup.[3]
Counter-Strike
History
FURIA’s Counter-Strike division would make their first appearance at a Major two years after their founding at IEM Katowice Major 2019,[4] 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[5] and finishing second at ECS Season 7.[6]
FURIA was the highest seeded team from the Americas region going into PGL Major Stockholm 2021,[7] and were eliminated in the quarterfinals. They were also eliminated in the quarterfinals of PGL Major Antwerp 2022.[8]
On October 7, 2022, FURIA qualified to the IEM Rio Major 2022 through the Americas RMR.[9] In front of the home crowd, FURIA exceeded expectations and reached the semifinals, until then its best placement in a Major.[10]
In 2023, IHC Esports defeated FURIA 2:1 and advanced to the group stage of IEM Katowice 2023.[11]
