FUT has officially entered the Counter-Strike scene with a French-speaking roster led by JACKZ and Nivera. ScreaM also joins the team as a sixth player and content creator. In this article — all the details on the new lineup, early results, community reactions, and the team’s potential.
New Roster
FUT has announced its entry into Counter-Strike by forming an ambitious roster headlined by Audric “JACKZ” Jug and Nabil “Nivera” Benrlitom. They are joined by Kévin “misutaaa” Rabier, known for his time with Vitality and Falcons, David “devoduvek” Dobrosavljevic, an experienced rifler, and young talent Etienne “drac” Salaün.
A notable addition is Adil “ScreaM” Benrlitom, a CS veteran who joins as the team’s sixth player and content creator. ScreaM has stated that he plans to return to competition after re-familiarizing himself with the modern version of the game.
Competing under the Mousquetaires tag, the roster has already made a deep run at United21 League Season 31, finishing second after a grand final loss to ESC. Due to a low number of official matches, the team currently lacks a Valve ranking but is already placed 193rd in HLTV’s world ranking. This means FUT will need to work their way up through open qualifiers to secure a solid position on the scene.
First Reactions: The Scene Welcomes the Newcomers
FUT’s announcement sparked a wave of support from the CS:GO community. Prominent players and organizations were quick to respond with warm messages on social media.
apEX (Vitality captain):
“Falco is a true teacher”
Eternal Fire:
“Good luck! See you on the server”
Ninjas in Pyjamas:
“Welcome to the scene”
These messages reflect the community’s positive reception of FUT’s new project. Fellow pros are showing respect for familiar faces returning to the server and the new challenges ahead for both veterans and emerging talents. It’s a reminder of the camaraderie that still exists in the competitive CS scene — even in the heat of battle.
Experience with Ambition
FUT’s lineup holds strong potential: the experience of JACKZ, the firepower of Nivera, the versatility of misutaaa, and the return of ScreaM form a compelling combination capable of competing in Europe. If the team can find consistency and synergy, they could realistically achieve:
- A breakthrough to the top tier in 2025;
- Qualification for major events through open brackets;
- A stable spot in the Valve rankings;
- Recognition as one of the top French-speaking CS2 teams.
The tournament experience of most players, combined with fresh motivation and organizational backing, gives this project the tools to evolve from a curious experiment into a serious contender.
Ready for the Big Stage
FUT’s debut in Counter-Strike looks promising. The team already has a solid core of experienced players, an ambitious mindset, and a clear goal — to make their mark on the international stage. The road ahead, through qualifiers and team development, will be tough. But with this lineup of talent, FUT might just be one of the surprise stories of the 2025 season.
