FUT are on the brink of completing the signing of G2 benched AWPer Álvaro "SunPayus" García, sources with knowledge of the situation told HLTV. The Spanish player will take up AWPing duties from Nikita "cmtry" Samolotov, who has struggled for consistency in 2026.
SunPayus has been inactive since June, when he was moved to the bench by G2 and eventually replaced by Artem "r1nkle" Moroz. His arrival brings a wealth of experience to the young FUT squad and should provide more tactical flexibility as he can act as a secondary caller.
FUT considered other AWPing options, including Henrich "sl3nd" Hevesi, who also tried out for the squad, and Alan "flayy" Krupa, sources said.
The 27-year-old will be FUT's second signing since they entered Counter-Strike. In July, the Turkish organization acquired Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç from HEROIC to replace Laurențiu "lauNX" Țârlea, who remains on the bench.
The Spanish player is expected to make his first appearance for FUT at PGL Masters Bucharest, which will take place between October 24-31.
If confirmed, his signing will leave FUT with:
