FalleN on retiring: “Everything has a beginning and an end; I understand that.”
FURIA captain Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo, in an interview at BLAST Bounty Summer 2026, shared his outlook on the current season and answered a question about retiring.
On his mindset for the season
I’d like to perform well this season so we can end it on a positive note. Right now, I’m doing everything I can; there are a lot of tournaments ahead that I’m really looking forward to. ...> I hope we’ll perform well this season and be able to win some trophies.
On Retiring
Sometimes I don’t want to keep playing, and other times I want to play more. It varies, but that’s just how it is. We need to keep moving forward. However, everything has a beginning and an end—I understand that. Right now, I’m trying to be a great player for my team, play well, and help them win.
On Tier 2 teams
Tier-2 teams are currently trying to break into the top tier. As I always say in interviews, they’re not that far from reaching a level where they can beat the best teams and lift trophies.
