FURIA is just one best-of-three away from locking in a playoff spot at the BLAST.tv Austin Major.
With a win over Virtus.pro today, the Black Panthers could become the first team to secure a Top 8 finish in Texas.
According to Yuri “yuurih” Santos, a big part of FURIA’s resurgence comes down to one key factor: the arrival of Mareks “YEKINDAR” Gaļinskis.
– For me, the best things that has happened to us is YEKINDAR, yuurih told Pley.
– The way he thinks the game and how he has helped the team – he’s very important for us and he’s also playing very well. (…) He was having problems in Liquid, maybe he was not happy. Now, I think he’s happy and feeling the game again.
