However, one big question remains, how are the members of the Furia going to be determined ? The GMs are selecting their teams by scouting Latin America for the most talented competitive gamers, operating within a recruitment zone that includes South America, Central America and Mexico. During these months, both GMs have been analyzing, checking and evaluating multiple gamers from all the Latinamerican Region, in the different competitions online and LAN, trying to find the exact pieces of the puzzle that will build a solid CGS Team. Of course, many of the former Furia members are going to return, as well as you are going to see new faces.

In Furia's particular case, the General Manager, Augusto "NoobZaibot" Zapata Delgado, will be scouting the Mexican and Southamerican regions, looking for players that could fit his requirements. Due to the distances and timelines that our particular region presents, most of those scoutings will be done by representatives in his behalf. Those representatives will inform him about the possible talents present in the different countries, and he'll interview the candidates via phone, Skype, Videoconference and more. Due to the nature of the search that the Furia is performing, those representatives will keep their identities in secret. So, if somebody asks you about being a professional gamer, no matter if he's your best friend of a total unknown player, answer with the truth and show your skills, maybe he could be a Furia Scouter !

Additionally to that, maybe some special scouting events will be realized in the next week. Stay tuned to our website !

Good luck to everybody in this opportunity to reach the dreams. The final roster of the Furia will be announced on IRC and through this website the Friday May 16th, at 7:00pm GMT-5.

ARRE FURIA !
