Gabriel Toledo de Alcântara Sguario (born May 30, 1991), professionally known by his in-game alias FalleN, is a Brazilian professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player and former Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike 1.6 player. He played the role of an AWPer for MIBR. In 2015 he was chosen the most influential person in Brazilian eSports.[2] He was also nominated PC personality of the year by the eSports Industry Awards in 2016. He is the owner of Brazilian eSports organization Games Academy. During 2016 and 2017, Fallen was described as one of the top AWPers, in-game leaders, and overall players in the world.[3] He is also known as one of the few CS:GO players who use the AWP, and in-game lead, at the same time. As of March 2019, FalleN has won $911,126.44.[4]
FalleN and four other Luminosity Gaming teammates were involved in a contract dispute between SK Gaming and Luminosity.[5] Eventually the players transferred to SK.[6]
Although winning their group stage in ELeague Season 1 being favorites to win, FalleN's SK Gaming team was ultimately removed from the tournament, along with SK Gaming's former team. The players and teams had violated one of the league's transfer rules, and several other team owners also signed a petition to remove the players.[7]
He held an event for fans at MAX5 on August 13, 2016 in São Paulo.[8]
