FURIA coach officially leaves
After an initial report from Dust2 Brasil last week, it is now confirmed that FURIA assistant coach Marcos "tacitus" Castilho has left the organization. Reports first suggested that tacitus had declined to renew his contract, which expired at the end of the month.
tacitus has largely been part of the North American region for the last few years with his coaching positions in Triumph and FURIA.. He joined Triumph as an analyst in April 2020, only to ascend to the head coaching role in a matter of months. From there, the Brazilian was able to gain enough recognition to move on to FURIA in June 2021.
tacitus would appear at PGL Stockholm 2021 and PGL Antwerp 2022 while Nicholas "guerri" Nogueira remained Valve banned stemming from the coaching bug bans. tacitus was not on stage with the team at IEM Rio 2022 as the organization elected to bring in André Akkari, the organization's co-owner, as a coach.
The Brazilian coach will now be looking for head coaching opportunities but is willing to integrate into an already existing staff as another coach.
tacitus' departure now means that FURIA will look like this:
-
Andrei "arT" Piovezan
-
André "drop" Abreu
-
Kaike "kscerato" Cerato
-
Rafael "saffee" Costa
-
Yuri "yuurih" Santos
-
Nicholas "guerri" Nogueira (Coach)
