Junior benched on FURIA

After a long time of lackluster performances, the American AWP'er Paytyn "Junior" Johnson has been benched on FURIA.

The coach of FURIA, Nicholas "⁠guerri⁠" Nogueira, stated in a video, that the decision was made after the American had asked to return home after a tough month, where the AWP'er had averaged only a 0.89 rating.

The Brazilian coach emphasized the language barrier outside the server as a problem. The Academy player Lucas "⁠honda⁠" Cano will join the roster as a fifth man instead. honda made his debut for FURIA in January, where he made three aces against G2 at the BLAST Premier Global Finals.
