FalleN Acknowledges Inconsistency, Believes FURIA Has Potential to Win Big
Brazilian veteran Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo says that while FURIA still struggle with consistency, on their best days they are capable of winning tournaments. His comments came after FURIA reached the semi-finals at FISSURE Playground 2, their second straight deep run in this event.
Key Points from the Interview
-
Strong Performances Mixed with Small Mistakes
FalleN praised his team’s efforts, particularly in the first map, where they held firm defensively, despite giving the opponent several opportunities. He noted that multi-kills and clutch plays by rivals made the game harder, but FURIA managed to respond and win. -
KSCERATO’s Role
He highlighted Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato as a key figure. Over the past few months, KSCERATO’s performances—especially on Train—have been among the most stable in the top 20. When KSCERATO plays like that, FalleN said, the rest of the team’s job becomes much easier. -
Need for Calm Under Pressure
FalleN emphasized that playoff and high-pressure matches expose small flaws—over-eagerness, lack of calm in certain rounds, and “tunnel vision” where players overcommit or fail to see the bigger picture. He stressed that group experience and repetition will help the team address these gaps together. -
Playoffs Are Progress, but Not Enough
While FURIA is growing, Fazed in by the team reaching back-to-back playoff stages, FalleN believes they need more than just qualifying. The goal is to be a team that not only makes playoffs but also is stable enough to win tournaments—and do so regularly.
Context & Related Thoughts
-
This is not the first time FalleN has talked about consistency being an issue. Earlier in 2025, he discussed how FURIA was still in a “building phase” despite having a stable roster, citing that while they sometimes show glimpses of elite performance, they often fail to follow through in weaker moments.
-
After a break earlier in the season, FalleN reflected on how arriving at events cold can impact preparation and rhythm. In FISSURE Playground 1, for example, he mentioned missing his stride after downtime, and that sometimes even having a solid map pool or individual talent is not enough without match readiness.
-
Another recurring theme from FalleN’s interviews: belief in the team's potential. Though results have sometimes been underwhelming, he sees quality in the roster and expects that as they accumulate more experience—especially in high-pressure and arena environments—they will grow into their potential.
Summary
FalleN’s latest comments confirm a pattern: FURIA is showing flashes of excellence but lacks the consistency needed to close out big events. With stable performances, especially from top players like KSCERATO, and by refining how they handle pressure and mistakes, FalleN is optimistic that FURIA can go from being playoff regulars to tournament winners.
