At the FPG3 China Suzhou stop, FURIA defeated GamerLegion to advance to the next round. After the match, team captain FalleN gave an interview discussing the ups and downs of the game, the most expensive purchase of his career, his favorite teammate, and his understanding of professionalism. The Brazilian legend also talked about Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and revealed his goals for the final stage of his career.
Match Review: Cache Almost Went Wrong, Then They Found Their Rhythm
FalleN：CT side on Cache is really tough. We had chances to win the early gun rounds—with 5v3 and 4v3 advantages—but threw them all away. After that, the opponent gained momentum and completely dominated us. Fortunately, on the T side, we nearly pulled off a comeback, falling just one round short of tying it up. Then things got back on track: we played Mirage very well and won Dust2 convincingly.
Most expensive expenditure: a house in Miami
When asked about the most expensive thing he has bought in his career, FalleN's response was somewhat philosophical: "Probably happiness." After the reporter pressed for a specific item, he replied with a smile: "The most expensive should be real estate. I have a house in Miami, that was probably the most expensive one."
Favorite teammates: fer, VINI, boltz... and fnx
FalleN: If I had to choose only one, it would be difficult—I've encountered too many outstanding individuals. If I were to list a few: fer is one of the most important teammates of my career, along with Batistuta from the early stages of my career. I also really enjoyed playing with VINI and boltz; being with them was always a lot of fun. And fnx, playing with him was great too, even though he always caused a bit of trouble.
Model of Professionalism: I Choose Myself
When asked about who represents CS professional spirit
FalleN gave a confident answer: "Honestly, I would pick myself. I have not only done a lot of valuable things on the field but also off it. I've been able to compete at the highest level for so many years while continuously driving growth in media and content. So I would choose myself—I am a good example of professionalism."
If we step out of CS and look at the football world? "That would definitely be Ronaldo. He is the greatest example of professional spirit in history, that guy is truly a robot." When asked about Messi or Ronaldo, FalleN said, "I'm a Ronaldo fan, but Messi might be a bit more magical."
The ultimate goal: to win another Major
FalleN: I don't have many games left now. I really want to win a championship with this team, but more importantly, I want to feel our unity on the field, knowing we've given our all in preparation and practice, and then truly enjoy the last few months of my career. Of course, we want to win matches—why not aim even higher? Winning another Major would be the perfect ending to my career.
