During his time with Triumph tacitus guided the team through numerous MDL/Premier seasons and a season of ESL Pro League, with the team peaking at 26th in the world in late November 2020 on  HLTV's world ranking. 

Importantly for tacitus, should FURIA manage to stay within the top five of North America's RMR, he would likely be set to coach FURIA at PGL Stockholm as Nicholas "guerri" Nogueira remains banned from Valve events due to his 2020 coach bug ban.

FURIA are now:

•  Yuri "yuurih" Gomes
•  Andrei "arT" Piovezan
•  Vinicius "VINI" Figueiredo
•  Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato
•  Paytyn "Junior" Johnson
•  Lucas "honda" Honda Cano
•  Nicholas "guerri" Nogueira (Coach)
•  Marcos "tacitus" Castilho (Assistant Coach)

tacitus' first event with FURIA will be IEM Cologne on July 6th.
