FTW Esports Bids Farewell to Counter-Strike Division Amid Strategic Overhaul
Portuguese eSports giant FTW has officially announced the closure of its Counter-Strike division, a development shared through a statement on the organization's official website.
The decision to dissolve the Counter-Strike team stems from a strategic economic restructuring initiative. The leadership aims to better balance the execution of both ongoing and future projects, a goal that was deemed unattainable with continued financial commitments to the CS:GO squad.
Since 2013, For The Win has been an active and consistent force in the professional Counter-Strike scene. Although the team established a strong domestic presence, it struggled to leave a mark on the international stage.
The future of FTW's roster remains uncertain, with no clear indication if the players will stick together as a unit. Interestingly, this announcement comes just a week after the team clinched the title at the Master League Portugal Season 13, highlighting their dominance in the Portuguese circuit.
The final lineup for FTW included:
- Andre "Ag1l" Gil
- Filipe "NOPEEJ" Dias
- Paulo "pr" Silva
- Rafael "rafaxF" Faria
- Antonio "aragornN" Barbosa
With Rui "vts" Soares serving as the team's coach.
