FURIA Will Open a Gaming Base in Europe
The Brazilian organization is expanding to Europe.
FURIA will open a big base in Europe.
The Brazilian organization reported that a new gaming base would be opened in Europe by the summer. By June-July, the CS:GO, and Rocket League teams will be transported to Malta with the staff. The area of the base will be 1 square kilometer. The government will help with the organization.
FURIA is moving to Europe?
Such news may indicate that now FURIA will play and pass qualifications in the European region. However, this may be different. The European base does not exclude a base in South America. However, everything will depend on the organization.
If the club wants to completely move the CS:GO department to Malta, then it is likely that FURIA will be considered a European team. However, with this change, the team will have to go through the most competitive Major qualification, so the organization is unlikely to take such a step.
Why is a base in Europe necessary?
After COVID-19, it became clear to the entire Counter-Strike comunity that Europe is the most powerful region, and it is incredibly difficult for the rest of the world to compete with it. This happened not only because of the strengthening of Europe but also because of the degradation of North and South America. Such a situation remains relevant to this day.
American teams get the most experience when they train with European teams. For example, Liquid continues to practice with European teams, even when they are in America. The team suffers from high ping, but otherwise it is impossible to stay at the top of the world ranking.
FURIA made a radical decision - to move the lineup to Europe so that the team could constantly gain experience and regularly play venues in this region. This will raise the team's performance at international events. A base in Europe is a big step forward for any American team.
Such a decision could worsen the situation in America
The move of FURIA is one of the first major moves of American teams to Europe. And if it can only positively affect FURIA, it is more likely to be a problem for the region. With this action, the club says that the game level in America needs to be improved to compete with the best teams in the world. And this move may not be the last.
The more American teams go to Europe, the worse America will become in terms of competition, and eventually, the game level may drop to the Asian level. To avoid such a situation, tournament operators urgently need to develop an ecosystem for the American region so that clubs and mixes have something to compete for, and competition increases.
There are moves in this direction - not so long ago, they announced the Cash Cup series, through which you can be selected for major events. However, more is needed, as indicated by the opening of the FURIA base in Europe.
