Brazilian team FURIA won the ESL Impact Season 7 trophy, the women’s Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) world championship, last Sunday (25). This victory represents a historic milestone, being the first time that a Brazilian women’s team has achieved first place in a world tournament of the game developed by Valve.
The experienced Brazilian players gabs, bizinha, izaa, kaahSENSEI, along with the Argentinean lulitenz, beat the North American team Supernova Comets by 2 maps to 1. With this victory, FURIA secured the CS2 title and took home the prize of US$ 50 thousand (approximately R$ 284,630 in direct conversion).
Last November, the team finished second at ESL Impact. This result had already been repeated at ESL’s global tournaments in seasons one, two and also at the Valencia event.
The championship was held in Dallas, United States, and had the participation of eight teams. Among them was another Brazilian team, MIBR, which finished in eighth place. The organization selected the participating teams based on the HLTV global ranking.
