FURIA Co-Owner on the Esports World Cup: “We’ll be back stronger next year”
In an interview at the 2026 Esports World Cup, FURIA co-owner Jaime Padua assessed the club’s performance at the tournament and discussed its goals for next year.
On the team’s performance at the Esports World Cup 2026
Things went pretty well; we expected to finish in the top 10 or top 12, even though our results in other disciplines weren’t very good.
On the nature of the Esports World Cup
In my opinion, the Esports World Cup is a challenging competition for every club. Even after we were eliminated from the running in several disciplines, we still managed to achieve some decent results in a few other games. I’m confident that we’ll come back stronger next year.
Earlier, FUT Esports defeated FURIA in the semifinals of the 2026 Esports World Cup for Counter-Strike 2 and will face Team Spirit in the grand final today. Meanwhile, Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo’s team is currently battling Legacy in the third-place match.
