We had the chance to attend an event this Friday at noon. The first thing that strikes you is the incredible atmosphere filling the stands. The French crowd, renowned worldwide for being some of the best — whether in esports or other fields (not just our opinion; just look at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games) — once again exceeded expectations, cheering loudly for the two teams competing this morning (both Brazilian, including Furia, FYI).

The matches are fast-paced and full of energy — just as we love it.
