André Akkari is one of the biggest names, if not the biggest, in Brazilian poker. World champion in 2011, today he is one of the partners of FURIA Esports and can be seen mainly together with the CS: GO team, one of his passions in electronic sport.
With yesterday’s victory over MIBR, FURIA was unbeaten in the North American Road to Rio playoffs, the first qualifying championship for the Major. However, what was joy on the part of Brazilian fans, also caused disappointment and sadness for many others. That’s because, at the same time, the furious team ended up eliminating their compatriots from the competition.
Because of this, Brazilian fans flooded social media with complaints and negative messages for MIBR players, unsatisfied with another early removal from the team. The anger of the fans is not great news for those who follow the scene, but this time, André Akkari decided to comment on the matter, since it directly involved FURY.
Akkari made it clear that MIBR is a competitor and that his relationship with the team is shallow, but he was outraged at the reaction of fans to those who were once the best in the world. “It is shameful, deplorable, discouraging that a human being is not prepared for life, without studying, without understanding what really matters in this world, he comes and talks on a social network. It is very sad, ”he said.
For the poker professional, MIBR players are idols of the sport, mainly kNg, one of the most contested by Brazilian fans. “KNg is used as a reference at all times within FURIA, as a great human being, a fighter and a monster as a player,” Akkari said.
He also states that FURIA suffers from the negativity of the crowd, but due to the smaller crowd, the volume of messages is small: “the man does not want to express his dissatisfaction with the equipment of his heart, he wants to see the man die, collapse AND nothing changes from FalleN to TACO or kNg. On the days when FURIA loses, it is for KSCERATO, Yuri. However, as the crowd of MIBR is much higher, the volume [de mensagens] it is much bigger “.
Finally, Akkari says that the ups and downs of high-level athletes are normal and that the outbreak is not to defend the MIBR, but to sensitize fans and prepare FURIA for what it could face if it reaches the top of CS: GO. “Do not think that I am here to defend FalleN or kNg, I am here to play my role in society. To try to make people think and to help him, who are at the forefront of our organization. ”
FURIA will play again on Saturday 9 against the winner of 100 Thieves and Liquid, who is already in the semifinals of Road to Rio. If they win, the team guarantees 1,500 points in the regional ranking of Major and $ 13,000 in prizes.
