2024FURIA will be worse than 2023

Only Khalil and mwzera have enough ability.
The three newcomers have yet to show better performance than mazin, dgzin, and qck, especially havoc's ability as a duelist and kon4n's IGL, which is far from what is expected.
In fact, they struggled to win against tier2 class teams such as XIT and RED.
Fans put all the blame on Carlão for last year's Americas performance, but seeing how dzgin, who left FURIA, struggled even with tier2 teams, FURIA was not strong enough to compete in Americas in the first place.
Next year will be even worse.
Fans overestimated FURIA just because they were able to fight against FNC to some extent in LOCK//IN.

You are absolutely right, Carlão has done a great job of protecting the players from the hate of the fans as well as the usual coaching duties.

Obviously. Ineffective players have just been replaced by even weaker ones.

It was literally their first tournament together dude.
And both RED and XIT are contenders for Ascension
Also, Furia is playing a bunch of Off-season tournaments so they will evolve a lot before VCT Americas.

Give them some time
