FURIA captain Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo spoke out after the defeat in the IEM Cologne Major 2026 final. The Brazilian was genuinely happy for the opposing player Nikola "NiKo" Kovač, who won his first major.
FURIA lost to Team Falcons in the final with a score of 0:3 and took second place. After the match, in a post-match interview, Toledo paid tribute to the champions.
I'm happy for NiKo. It's like Messi winning the World Cup. They beat every team to win this, they deserve it.

The 35-year-old Brazilian, who plans to retire at the end of the year, noted that simply competing in Cologne was special for him.
It's incredible – to play here. We brought our team back to the top, getting here wasn't easy. A bright future lies ahead, maybe we'll win a few more trophies.
Gabriel "FalleN" Toledoin a post-match interview
Let us remind you that earlier FalleN reached the major final for the first time in ten years.
