arT's Legacy Reinvention: From FURIA Captain to CAC 2026 Champion IGL

Andrei 'arT' Piovezan says Legacy helped him develop a side of himself that wasn't his strong suit — leadership — and the CAC 2026 trophy is the proof.

arT's Legacy Reinvention: From FURIA Captain to CAC 2026 Champion IGL

Andrei ‘arT’ Piovezan is having a career second act. The former FURIA captain — long defined by his hyper-aggressive T-side calling and equally polarising public profile — is now the in-game leader of a CAC 2026 champion side. After Legacy’s 3-1 grand-final win over Falcons, arT framed the project not as a continuation of his old style but as a genuine reinvention.

The leadership pivot

Speaking after Legacy’s CAC semi-final win over MIBR, arT was blunt about what the project has done for him personally: “At Legacy I’ve managed to develop a side of myself that wasn’t really my strong suit: being a leader.” The 30-year-old explained that the current Legacy environment lets him work more naturally with younger players while balancing his trademark aggressive calling against a more supportive style — something his previous stints at FURIA and Fluxo never quite produced.

The results timeline

Legacy signed arT in February 2026 after benching Lucas ‘lux’ Meneghini. The early read was mixed because his Fluxo run had failed to produce major international results. Since the change, the roster has:

  • Reached the playoffs at ESL Pro League Season 23
  • Finished third at IEM Atlanta
  • Won CS Asia Championships 2026 (defeating MongolZ, MIBR, then Falcons)
  • Established themselves among the top Brazilian CS2 sides

The latto partnership

The roster’s real engine is the arT–latto pairing — arT’s calling around latto’s rifling has unlocked the back-to-back MVP run that closed CAC 2026 with a 1.52 series rating in the final. With the IEM Cologne Major approaching, Legacy now have two CAC titles, a deep US run, and a Brazilian project that has visibly improved every event since the arT signing.
