FalleN: “Sometimes I don’t want to continue playing, but sometimes such a desire appears”

FURIA Esports CS2 player Gabriel FalleN Toledo noted that although he plans to retire at the end of the year, at times he wants to continue performing on the professional stage. He spoke about this in an interview at the BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 broadcast.

Sometimes I don't want to continue playing, and sometimes the desire appears. It happens in different ways, but something like this. We need to move forward, but everything has a beginning and an end, and I understand that. Now I'm trying to be a great player for my team, play well and help them win.

On April 17, FalleN announced that he would retire at the end of 2026. The Brazilian has been playing professionally for more than 20 years, during which he has won many major tournaments, including several majors. He later noted that he would continue to perform on the professional stage if he won both majors in 2026. However, FalleN has already lost one of them - in the finals of the IEM Cologne Major 2026, his team lost to Team Falcons.
