yuurih: "We'd be very happy [to win this event], especially if it's against Falcons; we're trying to beat the best teams"
Much has been said about FURIA 's packed schedule this season, and if nothing else it seems to have hampered the team's efforts to bring Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo one more trophy before he retires.

At Thunderpick World Championship, however, FURIA have hit a level of form not seen from them for some time, and now are in the final with a real shot at taking home the trophy. "I think there’s nothing better than winning a tournament, right?
We've been playing in several tournaments, with only a few days to rest.
The best reward, for sure, is being the champion." Read more FalleN: "There's a real boost from winning a tournament; it would be great if we could feel that again" With a grand final against the winner of BETBOOM vs.
Falcons up next, yuurih spoke to HLTV to discuss his team's victory over Aurora and who he's hoping to face with the trophy on the line. A victory in two maps, and you're going to the final.
It's been a while since we made it to a final, besides the Major. It's also nice to beat some teams like Legacy and now Aurora, too, since we lost to them last time.
I'm hoping to face the Falcons in the final now, it's been a while since I've played against them.
Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
Falcons Esports still has to answer for this: "At Thunderpick World Championship, however, FURIA have hit a level of form not seen from them for some time, and now are in the final with a real shot at taking home the trophy.…" That is the soft spot on the card. Nothing else in these lines closes it.

FURIA can stand on this line: "At Thunderpick World Championship, however, FURIA have hit a level of form not seen from them for some time, and now are in the final with a real shot at taking home the trophy.…" It is already on the card, so the case does not need a streak or a roster rumor.
