nzr had previously been a part of FURIA's original roster in 2021. He helped the team reach Champions on two occasions through LCQ, but they never made it past the group stage.
Ahead of the VCT partnerships, FURIA traded nzr to Leviatán. The team was able to reach top eight at LOCK//IN, as well as top two in the Americas LCQ, but they did not qualify to Champions. His stay with the Latin American team extended into the off-season, where he helped the team win Superdome Colombia with a 3-0 against FURIA.
In early 2024 Leviatán had the opportunity to sign 2023 Champion C0M as they moved to a more international project. He replaced nzr, who remained on the bench until FURIA picked him up.
Previously a duelist, liazzi joined FURIA as their controller player in October 2023. With this new role he helped the team to a win at MEG 2023 and top-two finish at Superdome Colombia. Unfortunately, they would go out in last place in Convergence 2023 after losses to Team Vitality and Global Esports.
The poor results continued into Americas Kickoff, where FURIA was eliminated without winning a single map. Compared to his previous performances, liazzi went from a 1.18 rating at the beginning of 2023 to averaging a 0.97 rating throughout the off-season and Kickoff.
Now down to four players, FURIA have two weeks before their first match of the VCT regular season. The new roster will debut against
