Brazilian esports organization FURIA Esports has announced a change to its Counter-Strike 2 roster. Felipe “skullz” Medeiros has been moved from the active lineup, with Marek “YEKINDAR” Galinskis taking his spot. The team shared this update via their official page on the social media platform X.
In the official statement, FURIA referred to YEKINDAR as a “replacement” specifically for the upcoming PGL Astana 2025, IEM Dallas 2025, and BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 tournaments. The organization did not provide details on whether YEKINDAR`s tenure with the team will extend beyond these events.
