FURIA fe Shifts from Counter-Strike to VALORANT Amidst Women's Scene Challenges
28 days agoFURIA has officially announced the transition of its women's Counter-Strike team, FURIA fe, to VALORANT. This move marks a significant shift for the team, which has enjoyed a successful six-year run in the Counter-Strike scene, securing multiple titles in South America and finishing as runners-up at three ESL Impact League Finals before winning the trophy in Season 7.
