\nFURIA have joined the growing list of teams to qualify for the Challengers Stage of the 2022 IEM Rio Major<\/a> via the Americas Regional Major Ranking (RMR). The team is now the first Brazilian squad to qualify for the Valve-sponsored Counter-strike: Global Offensive<\/a> event, which will be held in Brazil for the first time.<\/p>\n

FURIA secured a 2-0 win against paiN Gaming, a fellow Brazilian lineup. The teams faced off on Nuke and Vertigo in the Swiss round\u2019s 2-1 pool and saw FURIA deal out a crushing defeat to paiN.<\/p>\n

While paiN have given an impressive performance over the past months, FURIA have faced some apparent issues with their aggressive playstyle. Despite this, paiN were soundly trounced on Nuke, where FURIA achieved a 16-8 win due to a strong CT side.<\/p>\n

PaiN put up a better fight on the second map, Vertigo, and both teams traded back-and-forth rounds after FURIA won the pistol round on the T side. Despite paiN\u2019s attempts, their countrymen still managed to run away with the deciding victory. FURIA\u2019s rifler, Andr\u00e9 “drop” Abreu, closed Vertigo with a 16-13 score after executing four AK kills on the bombsite A defense.<\/p>\n

The franchise\u2019s AWPer, Rafael “saffee” Costa, was the best player of the series as he attained a 1.42 overall rating. The player also averaged a 50-31 K-D and an ADR of 89.0. All the players in the FURIA lineup did impressively well and reached a positive overall rating.<\/p>\n

PaiN, on the other hand, had no player reach a positive rating in the series, with Rodrigo “biguzera” Bittencourt\u2019s 0.99 rating being the highest on the roster. All the franchise’s players recorded a higher death count than frags in the series.<\/p>\n

Due to the team\u2019s reputation as the best Brazilian CS:GO lineup currently, FURIA were under immense pressure to qualify for the Major. In an interview conducted after the match, Andrei \u201carT\u201d Piovezan revealed that the win felt \u201camazing\u201d for the team and had helped them achieve their aim of playing on the home ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmazing, that was our objective, and it is fulfilled now, so we are very happy to be there with the friends and with the family,\u201d arT said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
