FUT Esports is a Turkish esports organisation founded back in 2016 by Futbolist. The club only entered Counter-Strike on May 26th, 2025, but even in its first incomplete season, it managed to rebuild its lineup twice, win several tier-2 titles and make a run to fourth place at the ESL Pro League Season 23 Finals.
For a young CS2 team, FUT already has a solid list of notable results. The squad’s best stretch came at the end of 2025 and the start of 2026, when the team picked up several titles. The full list of achievements is in the table below.

FUT’s CS2 story is still short, but it has already been packed with action. The organisation went through two different rosters in a single summer in 2025: first, a French-speaking lineup with several well-known names from the European CS2 scene, and then a younger, more ready-made core from NAVI’s academy system.
FUT’s first roster was built around Audric “JACKZ” Jug, Nabil “Nivera” Benrlitom, Kevin “misutaaa” Rabier, David “devoduvek” Dobrosavljevic and Etienne “drac” Salon, with François-Xavier “falco” Collinet as head coach. This was the lineup with which the organisation officially entered Counter-Strike on May 26th, 2025.
This roster did not win any major trophies, but it still did its job. The team quickly put the FUT tag on the map in Europe, drew attention thanks to several familiar names and showed that the club had entered CS2 for real. One of its early results was a 5th-6th place finish at Intel epic45.
Another interesting detail was Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom, who was introduced as the team’s sixth player and content creator.
On August 1st, 2025, the club signed the ex-NAVI Junior core: Dmitry “dem0n” Miroshnichenko, Nikita “cmtry” Samoletov, Dziugas “dziugss” Steponavicius, Aulon “Krabeni” Fazlia and coach Andras “coolio” Ferchak. Later, on August 22nd, Lavrentiy “lauNX” Tsyrlea joined the team. This version of the lineup turned out to be the perfect fit for FUT.
The new roster clicked fast. The team won Exort The Proving Grounds Season 4, Galaxy Battle 2025 Phase 5 and DraculaN Season 3, reached the final of DreamHack Knockout Stockholm 2025, and in 2026 qualified for IEM Kraków, PGL Cluj-Napoca and the ESL Pro League Season 23 Finals. At EPL, the lineup made the top 4, which still stands as the club’s best result in CS2 so far.
