have parted ways, the team announced. Carlao's exit puts an end to a nearly three year-long stint, as the coach donned FURIA's colors since the team's inception.
Carlao was brought on to FURIA in January 2021, when the team signed Alexandre "xand" Zizi and Gabriel "Quick" Lima. During the next two years, he sat at the helm of FURIA's VCT Brazil ventures, where the team constantly fell short of Masters events. FURIA still attended Champions in both 2021 and 2022, but never managed to piece together a win at the capstone event.
With their VCT Americas partnership slot secured, FURIA kept Carlao and the coach brought on Vitor "kon4n"
Hugo and Leonardo "mwzera"
Serrati. It quickly resulted in their first international win, a 2-0 over
