boltz set to replace felps on SK

19/10/2017 - 16:35

João "felps" Vasconcellos is on his way out of SK Gaming's active roster, being replaced by Immortals' Ricardo "boltz" Prass, HLTV.org has learned.

João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos, the newest member of the team, is on the brink of leaving SK as tension between players boiled over following a series of mixed results, which cost the Brazilian giants their No.1 spot in the ranking.

The 20-year-old has been part of SK since February, when he joined the team from Immortals. After an initial period in which he struggled to find his place in the team, felps helped SK to win five tournaments between April and July, including the ECS Season 3 Finals and ESL One Cologne.

But then a quarter-final exit at PGL Major Krakow marked the beginning of a dramatic period for the Brazilians, who would fail to reach the final at their next four events. The final straw came at ELEAGUE Premier, where SK finished third of their group following back-to-back defeats against Heroic.

boltz is poised to sign for SK Gaming

Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass has been part of Immortals since the North American organisation signed Tempo Storm's roster, in June 2016. While playing under Immortals, the team won DreamHack Summer 2016 and iBUYPOWER Masters 2016, but their biggest achievement came this Summer, when they finished runners-up to Gambit at PGL Major Krakow - a campaign which did not prevent the roster from falling apart as Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe was released because of disciplinary problems, while Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles and Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles were moved to the bench.

boltz is understood to have already joined up with the rest of the SK squad as negotiations between the two organisations are ongoing. It is likely that the 20-year-old will make his first appearance for SK next week, at EPICENTER, which will run from October 23-29.

HLTV.org has reached out to ELEAGUE for clarification on whether boltz, who has already played for Immortals in the North American closed qualifier for the Americas Minor, would be allowed to compete for SK at the upcoming Major. If not, that would force the Brazilian giants to attend field a stand-in at a Major for the second time, after they competed at the ELEAGUE Major Atlanta with Ricardo "⁠fox⁠" Pacheco as a stand-in.

With these changes, SK will have the following roster:

Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo
Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga
Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David
Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo
Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass

Note: An earlier version of the story incorrectly stated that felps was no longer in SK's gaming house. A source close to the team has confirmed to HLTV.org that the player is still in the house.

Yeah pretty much. I am a wizard bro, I said that boltz was going to sk when the Teles twin were benched and kng left the team...Sk is much way better than with felps, he just didnt fit. AND FOR THOSE WHO DONT LIKE TACO, HE IS A GREAT SUPPORTER, ELIGE IS ENTRY KILLER and taco is a supporter...with boltz, they have a consistent roster that can face faze, beacuse both have 4 "starplayers" that do a lot of kills and 1 great supporter. Now sk is like 1st place ranking pretty sure. Immortals is pretty fucked up right now ... I dont know what they can do, maybe call the Luminosity trio yel showtime and pkl + steel and destiny

vaco! kkkkkk

2017-10-19 20:15

No, he won't, my friend. If Taco still playing like the last matches, I'm "pretty sure" that Coldzera himself will kick his ass out of SK.

2017-10-19 23:25

No, he won't, my friend. If Taco keeps playing like the last matches, I'm "pretty sure" that Coldzera himself will kick his ass out of SK.

2017-10-19 23:28

no, coldzera would never do that, but taco is a good friend of fer and cold, so its hard af to kick him, who would kick him? fallen alone? ofc not, and fallen likes taco

2017-10-20 16:53

people are saying that he plays bad because of his function in game, but when he are ct, he dont kill, dont clutch, dont help in nothing.

2017-10-19 19:58

watch the last game, he is giving some QUE OTAAA PAPAI nos pistoletes

2017-10-19 23:48

i can understand u saying that, but trust me, you have a very wrong vision about taco. he 100% of the time is doing the HARDEST team function, he is ALWAYS alone, every oponent knows that. imagine u playing against g2, knowing that they know u are always alone, can u understand the huge pressure of playing like that? taco is a very very very teamplayer dedicated, so he accept to the be guy that will die to the others shine, he is the best in the world on what he does, simple like that u must watch the next SK game only by the map view, to understand better what i am telling cheers

look he playing o CT side, is terrible. Taco is a great player, tier1, but not in the same level than fallen, fer, cold, fazer and astralis players.

2017-10-20 04:31

So basically old Luminosity which wasnt doing as good...

2017-10-19 23:30

was expected af

"For those who don't like TACO he is a Supporter"... No he's not, he is the Entry Killer...

2017-10-19 18:44

You do realise that most roles in this game at the highest level can be situational and dependant on many other factors. Yes, TACO usually is usually seen as the entry but it is not always the case. You can support with your utility as well as entry fragging for the second and third in to bait you.

Well, most users on hltv are gold so it's expected.

2017-10-19 19:40

I know that, but TACO is the entry killer, he said that he is the entry because the rest of the team doesn't want, so he grab the role xD

2017-10-19 21:33

Taco is entry

2017-10-19 18:48

2017-10-21 12:55

see the video of the sk's gaminig house, fallen says "TACO, best entry fragger in the world", or u can just see the matchs, HE'S ENTRY FRAGGER... coldzera is the support (the man who does the kill trades and almost always have to clutch the rounds)

2017-10-19 18:51

taco is copy of msl, they throw him on one or other site like a decoy to see what will happen later on

2017-10-19 19:11

IF THIS TRADE DOES INDEED COME TO FRUITION IT WILL BE BENEFITIAL TO EVERYONE... you don´t see felps mingling with the others as the 4man core do ... as far as I´m aware he doesn´t hang out with the fellas and fer is not his biggest fan ... that imagining that boltz would have better social skils than him ... csgo-wise I believe that firepower being considered is equal ... Boltz has an edge on the decision making for sure

2017-10-19 19:20

PKL LUL

2017-10-19 19:23

I remember u calling it out gj

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. SK with boltz is no where near FaZe. FaZe will dominate whatever they want to right now. Winning makes things go a lot smoother, and they won't lose for a while. I think SK is probably better off with boltz, and will def get better results if felps is having problems geling with the team. So yes good move, no I don't think they'll be knocking FaZe from the top spot any time soon.

2017-10-22 00:54

2017-10-19 18:23

Despite being a very disciplined player and following "the playbook", unfortunately the Felps does not have the same preparation of the other SK players. We're not even talking about skill, but he clearly has no psychological preparation for times of greater "pressure." Playing well only when the team is playing well does not make you a # 1 player in the world. Felps has no in-game problems, he just needs to seek outside help to be more confident in himself. Good luck to the young player in his new phase. Already Boltz, without many words, he does have the profile that SK needs.

2017-10-20 13:00

yeah, didnt think it would be boltz, but i like it

-Fallen + m0E_tv ez SK back to top1

2017-10-19 19:29

that is not good to bolf of teams, until last time boltz not work in this line up and now he is doing good in imt, to me is better he stay in IMT.

2017-10-19 19:36

boltz? looks like Rodney dangerfield went to Brazil when he was younger.

2017-10-19 20:06

Im reading a lot of BS. Felps is a great player, its way more agressive than boltz and fit well playing with fer in this agressive style and that open oportunity to taco sometimes play as a supporter, if u dont agree should watch them playing Mirage. A few are saying that he doesn't have the right psychological mind set, but that is BS he already won 5 titles with SK, are more experienced player in finals than boltz.

2017-10-19 20:42

I feel sorry for steel though, very good guy, that after being in the final of a major he loses his team in 2 months. fucked up.

In your dreams

Impossible to "Rip FaZe" but i don't think that FaZe will have it easy with a decent SK gaming. Still tho, not that it matters, the big difference is that now SK might get out of groups and at least play against FaZe instead of getting fucked on groups/quarters. And about Rip IMT, i hope they just cut the Brazilian bullshit, drop all their ideas of creating a BR team and make an NA team, it's a good idea to grab ex-Tempo Storm on 2016 because they were already set up and they were improving, now you have this clusterfuck of tier 3 players trying to play at tier 1.

2017-10-20 01:19

+1 Immortals are officially shit now, rip BR Steel.

I don't even know who will IGL on IMT now, felps is a dumbass, zqk is only there to whiff shots, and steel tried before but didn't worked out

2017-10-19 17:42

felps and zqk do not mix

2017-10-19 17:54

when money is in the mix things get back on track

2017-10-19 18:43

Yeah it's not the attitude that will be a problem, but the lack of skill to reach tier 2 and 3 for that matter tbh.

2017-10-19 19:02

No one knows I guess :(

he means in order to stay relevant switch most recent player and go on honey moon period destruction

2017-10-19 17:01

kick everytime the 5th (fnx,fox,felps)

2017-10-19 17:02

add boltz to that list LOL

2017-10-19 17:16

i think boltz will survive, he has a kind personality so wont cause friction. also he was the smartest player on IMT apart from fnx. if they go back to the smarter style of play he is perfect

2017-10-19 19:49

They are the new nip dude, boltz will go in due time.

2017-10-19 20:17

boltz and steel were the first kicked by FalleN (Luminosity), replaced by TACO and fnx hltv.org/news/16470/luminosity-to-change..

2017-10-19 20:03

fox was a stand-in and fnx came with taco to the team so that makes fnx 4th-5th

2017-10-19 17:17

Fox was only standin they would never sign a noob like that

2017-10-19 18:54

ik but he was the 5th for a short time

2017-10-19 19:35

this isnt original "sk" roster anyway, steel and boltz played in real roster with fallen and coldzera

2017-10-19 19:12

Cold wasnt on it. Zqks was

2017-10-20 06:22

Cold replaced zqks, TACO and fnx came after that replacing boltz and steel.

No,man, steelega isa good player.

come on man, don't say that man, they could get fnx man

2017-10-19 16:47

While it sounds stupid, having two IGLs on the same team can be powerful, especially when FalleN is capable of playing as primary AWPer. Steel is one of the smartest players I have seen in recent events and if they could make it work, having FalleN and Steel alternating between who's calling the strat it would make them highly unpredictable. Steel can hold his own and with FalleN, ColdZera and Fer being the primary firepower, Steel doesn't need to fill an entry or high fragging role.

2017-10-20 01:21

- TACO + KEBAB XANTARES or s1mple :))))))))))

2017-10-19 17:24

SK becoming like nip of old, only replacing the fifth, but keeping the core 4 :D

Who?

2017-10-19 16:49

Brazilian player from TeamOne (brazilian org, best team from the brazilian leagues)

2017-10-19 19:22

erm????

Rly?

Is boltz entry fragger? And if he is...sk would have 2 entrys?

Yes players cant change roles Lolz

boltz has a better aim than TACO. Taco has to create space for boltz who comes behind.

2017-10-19 16:45

DO you say this because boltzz is a thicc boi?

Ahahahahahah +1

2017-10-19 18:13

2017-10-27 16:54

that was before olof and guardian joined faze.. New faze looking stronk af

absolutely agree, But I believe this new sk line will be competitive against them. Won't be bad matches when they face each other for sure

2017-10-19 16:56

We can always hope.. I mean I haven't seen falleN in his beast form for a while, it's all coldzera unless fer goes huge which only happens every now and then. Meanwhile faze consists of 4 starplayers with surprisingly good coordination and teamwork...

2017-10-19 16:59

Faze is great but so is SK, will be good match up, I think everyone on IMT sucked tho so not too sure about the new line up

2017-10-19 17:50

SK have a habit of playing to their opponents level. Against worse teams, they've played sloppily or half-heartedly. But against the team that took their No. 1 spot, SK would rise up to the challenge. Whether or not they would win remains to be seen, but it would be a great much.

Well, one could say that if he managed to step up massively and played better than boltz on this year he would've been added instead of Boltz.

Not really the point now, is it?

2017-10-19 22:13

+1 Pray for steel -taco +steel or -bit +steel

2017-10-19 18:26

BOLTÃO DA MASSSA! Welcome Boltz <3

Can only imagine how fucking happy Boltz must be right now

His hard work payed off....

it's not surprising tho

is felps already is depressed af just imagine after this.. can fallen lives knowing he caused felps suicide?

Felps used to have a rating of 1.2 on the start of 2015, coming close to coldzera as one of the best players on the scene. It was all downhill from there, even before he joined SK. I think he lost his motivation somehow, and joining a team that had achieved everything without him didn't help.

LOL

2017-10-19 18:49

TWOFACED TOLEDO

+1 kicked boltz from Luminosity to bring TACO, now added boltz cuz cannot confess that he did a big mistake some time ago. No fnx no majors.

2017-10-19 18:45

Why not Taco

taco good sucking (if you know what i mean)

2017-10-19 17:09

Because -taco = -cold.

Because felps was failing both as entry and occasional lurker... They added him to be the next coldzera, instead he slowly became the next Taco. The team knows that they can work and win majors with Taco, therefore they decided to add someone who can perform better than felps on the roles felps was failing at.

so happy for boltz he deserved this but sad for steel

NO FNX? LUL

Fer does not like to play with fnx

2017-10-19 17:33

why?

2017-10-20 00:29

Go to party in the training

too sad for felps, now don't have any good team for him

2017-10-19 17:56

maybe lg?

2017-10-19 18:50

he won't play anymore, he decided to quit cs

2017-10-19 19:33

I dont want boltz playing the major I want fox eheh

but boltz is not allowed to play in major ,right?

Why not tho ?

2017-10-20 01:28

Tho that might be true I Believe that SK in this form wont have such successes again. The individuals might if they go somewhere else or SK switch atleast one or two more of the core.

2017-10-20 01:38

You say nip didn't have good players but they were the top team for a long time. Just like sk is now. Nip used to be amazing

2017-10-20 01:34

boltz the flusha of brazil

Sk=Brazilian NIP

why nip?

Keeping core 4, switching the fifth.

Nice

YES! Now SK is going straight to the top.

No win at this major. Fox standing in as boltz player for imt in the qualifier

2017-10-19 20:13

That's life, my friend. I was doing a fine art foundation degree at college for two years, and 15 days before gradation, having received a conditional offer from one of the UK's finest art universities, having received a mock-distinction for my work, my portfolio was stolen. I'd wasted two years of my life, through no fault of my own, and had to watch as all my friends went off to university without me. It was a really tough summer for me. But, little did I know, it would all work out well in the end. My college called me up and offered me the chance to study with them again, for free. (After you turn 18, you usually have to pay for your education.) But, feeling burned out by the prospect of having to do my portfolio all over again, I declined. I was living with my mum at the time, as I recall, and I was feeling very sorry for myself that summer, and very bored, so I walked down town one morning, and for some reason decided to go into a shop I'd never gone into before. It was a little second-hand book shop. I was 18 at the time, and I'd never read a book for pleasure outside of school. Don't ask me why, but something compelled me to pick up and buy a copy of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment -- ironically, Crime and Punishment is a book about a self-pitying student, called Raskolnikov, who wonders why life is so much harder for him, as a boy coming from a working-class family, than his nepotistically-favoured co-eds. I devoured that book in less than a few days. I was insatiable! Thus began my odyssey into the world of Russian literature: Pushkin, Chekhov, Gogol, Bulgakov, Tolstoy (that one I regret, actually -- haha), and, later, all manner of fantastic new authors all the world over. Anyway, that summer I decided to apply to college again as a literature student this time. There, I met my first girlfriend, a ballerina, who went on to be a student at the Royal Academy in London, while I went on to study literature close by to her. We lived together for three years, not including the two wonderful years we spent inseparably during our college days, before she broke it off with me. Naturally, I was devastated, but, if I'd learned anything over the years, it was that this was far from the end of the world -- it was probably just the beginning of something new. And it was. And here I am. And where I'll end up next, I don't know.

You realise this is HLTV don't you? Perhaps I should remind you of the key HLTV rules before you go writing well thought-out and interesting posts again: - Any post over 30 words in length must be a copy-pasta and not your actual thoughts or experiences. - Nothing positive or constructive my ever be posted on these fora - Everyone here is 12 and no-one cares about actual life experiences outside of this computer game. - Don't talk about Pomegranates. Other than that it was an interesting post and it sounds like you're having a cool life so far, long may it continue :) My girlfriend was a ballerina (at a slightly lower level though!) so I've seen a few good ballets in the last few years.

2017-10-19 18:14

Impressive, well good on you ... let us hope that Steel isn't the one to give up either

ffs did he write war and peace there?

2017-10-20 07:54

I'm pretty excited to see what this Boltz can bring :)

good transfer for SK. boltz is a solid player. boltz is back! idk what the problem is for SK, cuz felps used to be pretty good on IMT. i guess it's something to do with the other guys and not the rotating cast of new guys they try to get. but gl.

felps on IMT was a lurker, on SK was a 2nd entry.

he was underperforming for 6 months even before he joined SK. He peaked at rating 1.22 in 2015 and only fell from there.

2017-10-19 17:40

He's very good, but his true style has no place in SK, never had, not with Fer already doing the aggro/play making stuff.

2017-10-19 18:31

True :)

lullllllll

that is a very good transfer from SK, gl Boltz u got this :)

now just hire steel as coach

Wanna see FaZe vs SK , but FaZe will win im sure , to much fire power

True but still brazilian (if you are not fakeflaggin :P) with <3 coldzera by his name admitting Niko > coldzera. Really big respect to you.

2017-10-19 18:22

And you believe that crap? ahahha, cute xD Now show you deserve respect and admit Cold >> niko, FerGOD >>rain, Fallen>Guardian Admit or you are a hypocrite.

2017-10-20 16:46

All of 2017 hltv.org/stats?startDate=2017-01-01&endD.. Last 3 months hltv.org/stats?startDate=2017-07-20&endD.. I like coldzera more ? NiKo still better fangay

2017-10-20 16:48

NiKo is on a good phase coldzera is on a good phase all of them is on a good phase niko : coldzera

2017-10-20 16:49

I would say fer is better than rain but other than that +1.

Yes all year , but not atm , rain have way better stats than fer the last 3 months , NiKo have 1.34 , rain have 1.33 so he is playing really good

well, depends, fer can have an absolute amazing game sometimes, same for fallen. karrigan can be a bot sometimes when spraying. if they fix their internal problems, I would say sk is on a similar firepower with faze

if cold fer fallen goes crasy they will have insane firepower , but still not as good as FaZe even if some1 have a bad game

the only one who cant get insane is taco on sk, on the other hand, didnt really see karrigan going ham, or olof, yet

Olof was sec best player for FaZe in Eleauge , he was the best player in the serie vs North and that was the hardest game for FaZe get , and Karrigan goes crasy sometimes , like the Final vs Liquid , he was 15-0 or something at one point

2017-10-19 17:04

i do agree, but in my opinion, explosive players are guardian niko rain, and fer cold fallen. the other 4 are consistent, but not expected to do something crazy

yes its your opinon i respect it , but i think that FaZe have to much fire power even for SK if all players are doing really good , and olof is a explosive player not as much what he used to but still

alright then my brazilian friend, lets have a vodka together then

suka

rush b

I agree except Guardian>Fallen, I think Fallen is better

2017-10-19 18:17

True xd

2017-10-19 18:18

finally SK back to being a top team, felps was holding them down. So many early deaths in rounds, they were basically playing 4v5.

No, it was 3x5 and now is gonna be 4x5. They need to get rid of Taco ASAP

+1 BOTCO won’t help more just because they switch felps for boltz.

LUL this'll be the worst move of 2017.

baitzera mad

steel?

#FnXwAsTheProblemLULz

from one side you can't really say that you blame sk...on the other hand cutting team member just because you have internal problems is not the solution

we see that with VP

well i ment more on the fnatic but eh.....vp is a different story

Fnatic completely disband, while sk switched one player.

2017-10-19 17:07

because of the very same reason...and replacing fnx with felps way way too big downgrade

Not so much. They still won 5 tournaments with felps.

omg ? ? ? -tacooooooooooooo

wow nice

WUUUUUUT I wasn't expecting that!

This will probably make them top 1 again, they needed a player like boltz

Amén, felps was already driving me crazy, we already have Taco to do the bot part of a team

2017-10-19 18:38

Gabriel Twofaced Twoledo

...and TACO there firm and strong. lick the balls of the coldzera

what about MAN steel? :(

Expect fallen to re-cement himself as a top five player in the world again. This move gives Fallen more space to aggressively AWP, have somebody attached to his hip (like fnx&fer often used to do) and play less rotate-strike. It'll be interesting to see SK adapt (which Fallen have already started this last week anyway)

2017-10-19 17:23

2017-10-19 18:39

mom get the camera felps had his chance and he failed

Felps is an excellent player, he was just in a bad moment, this move makes no sense

He has been dropping in performance for a good 1.5 years, even before moving to SK. Coupled with attitude issues it was a recipe for disaster. I'd guess Fallen decided is was better to try another 5th while the change is still early and the 4 others still play good, than wait too long (like NIP or VP) and end up splitting the team for good.

2017-10-19 17:45

SK BOLTZ, FUCK YEAAHH, BROOO!!! SK TOP 1 ( PLZ, KICK TACO).

lol

Good. Felps was so arrogant. I watched when he didnt want to high five fallen when they lost a match. He was blaming someone from his team for the loss. At that moment i knew he'll be kicked.

Yeah, his attitude problems are visible even from the videos from LANs... imagine behind the scenes, where Fallen likes to scrutinize everyone, including himself, for every mistake they make.

2017-10-19 17:47

felps was good, SAD not for long, CS:GO scene is so hard, After teams knows how to counter him, he become almost useless, anyway he has amazing skills! GL in next team!!!

Expected and they could beat FaZe anyday soob

2017-10-19 16:50

holy SHIT!!! I feel really bad for Felps... he was really struggling in last ECS and Pro League matches, maybe was because he already knew this would happen. Anyway, SK gets stronger and Immortals... poor Steel.

maybe he gonna join some NA team xd

felps does not speak english, unfortunately.

2017-10-21 04:09

Taco won't be kicked because he's humble. He lost his form but that will comeby with some help. But you can't change a person's nature if he's arrogant(felps)

he wont be kicked cause he's coldzera's best friend, if fallen kicks taco, cold is gone as well

Sometimes all you need is a best friend.

That's the problem, but really taco need to make more practice.

taco feels like a he can suck but it doesnt matter bro xD

2017-10-19 17:11

I think Boltz is smart af and with fallen together they are coming back to her actually form.

Gabriel "two-faced" Toledo strikes again.

There's only so much you can expect a person to endure when a player is not playing as good as you hired him to, and on top of that doesn't take criticism to improve.

This is great.

seized complete

No way :O

Brazilian superteam confirmed

ah sacanagem porra! TACO é o caralho! SK ta uma máfia! Aqueles que comandam o cs são omissos, diretoria de merda! TACO é o caralho! FORA TACO! nice aquisition by SK... boltz is a great player

I was about to report you, lucky you I read everything, so I do forgive you

thanks mr traffut

np, pm some nudes and we're good

2017-10-21 04:11

BOTACO

+fnx

gl boltz, deserved

-Taco +Fnx Ez top 1

really good move for SK +1

why? taco sux way more

Nt nt still won’t beat faze

But Faze is the one who's never beaten SK? :>

Can’t beat what you can’t play Maybe if SK manage to make playoffs :>

2017-10-19 17:43

But they have? They played 4 times this year already. Sk won all LUL

rekt

2017-10-19 17:51

Hey retard it’s called different lineups. Who gives a shit about old faze my boi Olof will fuck coldzera in the ass if SK can even manage to get to playoffs.

2017-10-19 18:10

They still have the Niko-rain-karrigan core? It feels like olof and guardian just boosted their confidence, since it's still niko and rain who always carry them, lol.

2017-10-19 18:15

Poor Taco, now everybody will bully the guy because he plays worst positions and shittiest roles :(

TACO GOD

Its what a professional team should do. Felps is a good player, but they already have fer in the exactly same role and doing it much better. Maybe felps will join immortals again, and it can be a really good trade to them. Felps will do much more impact in immortals than he did in SK, while boltz can bring a very good stabilization to sk game mode.

felps is not yet ready for the TOP 5, players study hard and can contain their opponents very fast if they do not keep up-to-date. But we know that IMMORTALS play against teams that felps can do well.

2017-10-19 17:03

+1 wise dude

They had to change something, but dont know if Boltz or Steel... But as Fallen has played with both, he should know best who will fit more (personal and from their play)

Steel is a really nice support player, but boltz have a lot more potential in clutches and doing some gameplays tath can change a game, just like FNX. I think that cause of this the choice was boltz

2017-10-19 17:44

The right replacement for Fnx was always Boltz - skilled/passive/clutcher - Felps would be Fer's replacement. Steel would fit for Taco perfectly if push comes to shove.

2017-10-21 04:13

Hopefully they become even worse, I want them to fail.

I wouldn't want to live your life xD LOOOSER

2017-10-19 18:46

xD I wouldn't want to live your life either, being Brazilian.

Aren't you just a bundle of joy?

ahhaahahahah

Steel was fucked up

nice

YEEEES FUCK YES DUDE

Fox stand in again inc

Really good swap for SK imo. Boltz played an important part in the old luminosity and is definitely a consistent fragger and a smart player.

RIP IMT.

Felps

2017-10-19 17:05

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk rip imt.

felps is going to join fnx,hen1,lucas1 and kngv mark my word !

Not really, it will be a guy from Team One, already confirmed in hltv

-taco pls

Now I really wanna see SK fail

Why? Sk is the team who put CSGO NA in the top. Liquid? C9? They need a lot a lot for this position

And if not for SK, after the Ibp fiasco, Na cs would have never achieved the results it did. SK brought the practice and the competition (br players) needed for Na to get its shit together.

I remember in the past, every time when EG or complexity go to play in brasil very every they lost for brasilian.

wow rip steel and imt... Finally boltz have another chance with fallen.

another major with a stand in, sucks

Ow crap!

BB all teams SK top 1 team again no not again still... Hehe bb useless felps

lool twofaced toledo and boltz

R.I.P. IMT and SK :(

make SK great again PogChamp

even a week did not pass as they stopped being top 1 and they already kicked felps. Noice B A I T

Of course, SK is a Elite team, they're not used to losing like those trashcans Na'vi and gambit

triggered favela, sweet

Deserved and expected

To celebrate this change,SK will lose a game against Rogue today,to fund a welcome back party.

boltz can not play major he has already played the minor with immortals automatically could not play the major for another team

Finally Boltz gonna have a chance in a real team.

good move I think

felps sucks so +boltz + gabriel 2face toileto + bottaco +ferSHITGOD +vaczera iz major

-FalleN +rallen

SK in Pyjamas

Rip Sk,g2 will put out them again next major

Once again 5th is the problem.... Hmmmmm...... Sk,just remember one thing - Nip thought the same about the fifth player, as the problem, but how they ended up you know.

the problem is the 4th and his name is taco

in nip the problem is the 4th (friberg) and they kicked him and now they are shit

NO FNX, NO MAJOR

THE NEW NiP LOL 5TH = PROBLEM, GET FUCKED IDIOTS

2017-10-19 17:15

TACO YOU ARE THE NEXT

Not surprised

Nice replace

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD TACO SURVIVE xD

boltz: rip steel haha

2017-10-19 17:19

hahahhaha

Get ready Taco, you will be the next soon

is br cs back?

AEEEEEEEEE CARALHOOOOO NEXT -BOTACO

Game over for imt sad :/

LMAO

#RUNSKG

very nice GO SK

nooooooooooooo rip felps

RIP to all NA Pro League teams

rip steel, lost major spot felps to replace bit maybe?

bit is the igl

no way, bit is the brain of the brainless team

HAHAHAHA LMAO NICE

SK TOP 1

Make SK great again

Whooaaaa that's it broo! lets goooo SKKKK top1 again! gl my brazilian friends, i hope SK will kick FaZe's ass

Good substitution, I believe that the SK will now gain survival.

EXPECTED

aleluia

2017-10-19 17:36

should have always been with them, they should feel ashamed they kicked him

This

2017-10-19 19:31

Felps was playing bad every game, SK probably gave him the chance and he kept doing the same thing. Everyone knows how to kill him, spray on smoke or somewhere else, he lacks dynamic and intelligence to play the game at this level, making a weak spot in SK lineup and formation. GL Boltz, u deserve it.

2017-10-19 17:55

what happened to felps? He looked very promising when he first joined

WUT WUT WUT

boltz nice.... now SK rank 6-10

Excellent!

OMG... Sad for steel and felps, but I think it was the right choice to get back to the top 1 easily. #RUNSK

2017-10-19 17:41

LOL, JA VAI BOLTZ ..... PRA SK ! GG BOLTALHA !!!!

youtube.com/watch?v=vShJcB0VXTg&feature=..

Boltz was playing so good in their luminosity days i still cant understand why fallen decided to remove him for taco , he is so consistent and has a very good aim

1. kick boltz 2. kick fnx 3. bring felps 4. kick felps 5. bring boltz SK LOGIC. Never top1 anymore

2017-10-19 17:46

2 would actaly be "bring fnx"

2017-10-19 17:58

Yep, I just messed up in this couple of moves

1.kick boltz/steel, bring cold/taco -won two majors, became top1 2.kick fnx -the guy didn't want to play, only party 3.bring felps -he had 1.22 rating on IMT, the next coldzera 4.kick felps -he has now a 0.93 rating while Taco has 0.94... yeah 5.bring boltz boltz have a 1.12 rating, close to Fer's 1.15 and Fallen's 1.13. also boltz is similar to fnx's style of play, while felps wasn't.

2017-10-19 18:02

1.kick boltz/steel, bring fnx/taco*

rip steel

weird to say it, but I think its a really good move. boltz has 405IQ and SK has played very loose lately

-fer pls

2017-10-19 17:48

Are you kidding right ?

2017-10-19 17:52

0/8

2017-10-19 18:57

wait fer still on SK?

2017-10-19 17:49

Rip Immortals

-taco +fnx and top1 again

-BOT TACO +KING FNX

+1 -taco +kng ez major

I thought this was just one of those hltv rumours

2017-10-19 17:53

We may see -taco +steel

-taco would be almost the same as -cold, fallen nows that and would never let that happen

2017-10-19 17:57

You cant be serious. Cold would leave all that money for some bald hobbit?

2017-10-20 06:26

he would not perform at his peak and that's for sure, they're the closest players in br scene(with the exceptin of the twins obviously)

2017-10-20 11:23

cold played without taco in luminosity and did fine

2017-10-20 18:52

Immortals is like Faze Version 2. lol

ALELUIA!!!!!!!!! Tenho certeza que o cold ou o fer pistolaram com o felps faz horas ja... provavelmente chegou no limite Im pretty sure the tension they mentioned is between felps and cold(toxic mf) or fer, they fit perfectly the role for this lol its probably happening for a while and not it took it's toll

this is not a club for friends like nip or vp, this is a buisness. only #1 spot is acceptable, sorry for felps but change was needed

Agree 100%

2017-10-19 18:03

Felps appears even more toxic than Cold.. who usually is toxic only when he see bad plays according to his own standards (regular behavior of people who are high above average).

2017-10-19 18:05

yeah, cold's toxicity is kinda natural, you can see it happening a lot and felps was toxic affff on IMT indeed, but he knows his place inside SK

2017-10-19 18:06

it was about time ....

2017-10-19 18:09

Boltz hahahha so bad

-boltz +neymar #SK

2017-10-19 18:01

It's fer, again, felps probably fuck'd fer's gf

Fnx was the problem hahahahahahahahaha

edit: opss, wrong reply

Lmao now theyll be even worse than before like when they had him the 1st time

im happy for boltz but rip IMT x2

I predicted this few weeks ago , you should listen to me !

2017-10-19 18:08

Poor BR Steel :(

So sad =(

ez t3 team now whit this silver

good move.. boltz is a solid reliable player... and with fer going back to being a aggressive player you dont realy need a player like felps... you need someone like boltz

2017-10-19 19:39

boltz is pretty damn good tbh

boltz power, GL

-taCU please

glad that arrogant piece of silver got kicked he was terrible

now -TACO +EliGE plz

2017-10-19 18:12

finally No more PLAYER WITH F NICK ALIAS :D +b - f

Pls fox stand in at major

-BOTACO

Nice choice.

2017-10-19 18:16

Not expected.

I think Felps did very good. The only problem was Taco and Fallen. Taco played very bad last 3 month. Fallen is a awper and igl. Hes getting out of idea how to head his team. But i hope that they will find their form again. -Felps +Boltz nothing is going to be changed. Its all on Taco and Fallen. Felps is very solid and he holds sites very good but the person who making trouble is Taco . So i think SK need coach and Fallens In game Leading new tactic.

Worst analysis I've seen in a long time, even for hltv's silvers grats

They do have a point with FalleN though. They need a new set of strategies to run so they can't be anti-stratted so easily.

2017-10-20 01:39

Expected af. Now -TACO +Elige

-TACO +steel and it will be their Luminosity Gaming lineup

But not keyd stars

2017-10-20 06:29

Fallen+Boltz again thats nice

now taco entry fragger > low kills > kicked feelsgoodman

good idea to let bot taco stay, wp

Fuck this shit, remove taco pls, felps is better than him, FUCKKKKK SK

2017-10-19 18:25

it was exactly not necessary.I mean felps is a great teamwork player.My opinion sk going down starting today

Will Boltz play in SK x Rogue today?

Hahaha monkeys

no more top 5 TOOO SLOW

now nip beat stupid sk Ez loosers stupid choice

2017-10-19 18:27

Make SK great again Mr. boltz.

2017-10-19 18:29

xaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxa you joke right ?

2017-10-19 18:32

next will be taco

2017-10-19 18:35

felps to navi

felps was not very good so understandable move by SK boys

Ricardo "2 faced" Prass

yes nice congratulation to boltz wish u good luck

how about removing fuckin useless TACO that barely had positive K/D/A back when SK stomped everyone

TACO is the Cold best friend....

-taco +steel and we go full circle

2017-10-19 18:41

you need to replace cold with FNX doe if you want the vanilla squad.

felps to hen1's team.

Would be legendary.

2017-10-19 18:53

LETS GO TOP 1 !!!!!!!!

Sk needs to kng

2017-10-19 19:04

How cant Fallen understand that they need fnx?

Fnx is an ex-player... he dont like to train and he loses motivation very fast..... why dont you people from hltv dont learn this?

2017-10-19 19:17

well gl with boltz then

no fnx no major

2017-10-19 21:15

+ fucking 1

2017-10-19 19:26

Boltz caiu pra cima, simbora gordao.

2017-10-19 19:09

DO IT

if wont win the major gonna replace who?

2017-10-19 19:13

Very excited to see this roster playing, Boltz is much more reliable than Felps. Felps here and there used to make a lot of silly plays, but you can't always count with luck.

2017-10-19 19:16

Why no Taco? o_O Boltz is a fckng headshotmachine! :))

this sucks for felps

2017-10-19 19:19

I think they kicked felps cuase he is prettier than boltz, and you know fer is trying to get back with his ex girlfriend, and don´t want another "fnx problem" haha

VERY VERY VERY NICE SK! BOLTZ IS SO GOOD! WHERE FELPS JOIN? IMMORTALS -HORVY?

-boltz +felps.. nope?

2017-10-19 19:27

+felps -horvy

2017-10-19 19:28

felpsss back to IMT and help Steel pls :)

Ppl talking about -taco are braindead. Ofc you know better about CS than FalleN does.

2017-10-19 19:37

Good move by sk. Tbh boltz is like a poor man's fnx. But his way of play fits better for the current sk than felps. Theres just too many aggresive type players and sk lacks some sort of stable player who they can rely on (coldzera needs another companion).

2017-10-19 20:01

who care

Wtf WutFace DansGame FELPSTOP1 idiot SK

WHY NOT TACO Obviously they rely on his so heavily for his role and don't want to both changing him Even though he sucks worse, he would be harder to replace

2017-10-19 19:50

expecting taco to be kicked :(

2017-10-19 19:57

TACO's trash is still on the team, oooooooooooh god :(

Make sk great again. Felps brought nothing to the team, he was an inferior version of fer. Boltz can add some new ideas to the team and he's been playing lights out recently. Deserved chance for him. Now I feel extra bad for steel, from major finalist to sole survivor in a dying team..

why they dont kick taco? people are saying that he plays bad because of his function in game, but when he are ct, he dont kill, dont clutch, dont help in nothing.

THIS IS THE BEST CHANGE OF THE CS HISTORY!!!!! FALLEN AMAZING !!!

sk x faze, most awaited game

Finally? I mean you brought in Felps to replace FNX which is the dumbest decision I've ever seen not even remotely close to the same roles, now you can go back to how you used to play and Boltz can play the exact role that FNX was playing in 2016 instead of having to change the entire team just to make Felps work and in the end Felps wasn't even good, he was shit actually now I understand why Immortals never won anything or even qualified for anything when they had Felps in the team the kid has some sick aim but he's a full on pug player with no brain similar to NA players.

it will not be that easy to go back to the way they played when Boltz was on the team. I'm not saying they for sure wont make it, but when I think about that fnatic comes in my mind and how they failed to score after all those shuffles.

2017-10-19 21:03

I'm saying go back to the way they played when FNX was on the team in 2016, you can plug boltz right into the same role FNX was playing without any issues, even when they picked up Felps I said they should of brought Boltz back into the team instead of Felps and never understood the Felps pick up cause he wasn't even good on Immortals they didn't qualify for any majors, barely played any events etc he was a pure onliner, and a pug player it made no sense at all. Boltz is a good pick up he can play a lot of different roles, pretty skilled player and best of all the problem he had in the old SK lineups is he was making stupid decisions and making no brain plays but he's gotten a lot better since then and is playing CS more intelligently now.

2017-10-19 21:16

Yeah I get the thing you want to point out, but it's not just "let's play like we used to play when "XYZ" was on the team". Fnatic was a great example of that, after all those shuffles GODSENT-fnatic and all they couldn't get back in their old form and their old playstyle.

2017-10-19 23:12

TBF Fnatic was godlike up until Olof got injured who knows what would of happened if he never got injured. When they brought Dennis in they won 7 tournaments over a span of 3 months and many of those titles were 250k tournaments after that Olof got injured. For Fnatic/Godsent I don't think it's specifically a tactical problem I just think they are not at the level of the very top players anymore, for SK I do think it's specifically a tactics problem they are were playing a really puggy style with Felps and teams that have more firepower beat them and why NA teams are beating them more consistently now in days because NA is the most puggy CS there is.

2017-10-20 03:43

"Note: An earlier version of the story incorrectly stated that felps was no longer in SK's gaming house. A source close to the team has confirmed to HLTV.org that the player is still in the house." is the source mamacita do global?? hahahahahahaha

2017-10-19 20:25

If Felps stays HLTV has been epically baited.

2017-10-19 20:29

The video who proves he's still in the house do not deny he will leave SK

2017-10-19 20:35

Maybe after the major..

2017-10-19 20:39

Or after EPICENTER... Never saw HLTV baited. I'm here since 2014.

finally!!! i truly back up this decision. ever since felps joined SK, sk has not been the same, adjusting and adjusting and adjusting and no results. felps is a good player and he has an incredible skill set but lacks intuition...

MIRAA why instead of deleting comments calling you out you check your sources better next time?

Doesn't matter is you are the best player of the world, if Fallen doesn't like you, be sure that soon you are going down! #pas

Are you retarded? Felps clearly didn't work in SK. Besides, how do you know that fallen kicked felps? Do you live in their house? Fuck off hater.

2017-10-19 22:12

Sua educação é a mesma de um cachorro cagando.

2017-10-20 15:59

I noticed that Felps hadn't been performing lately and kinda expected this tbh. Nobody knows whats going on behind closed doors but i think this change is the best for SK.

2017-10-19 21:37

SK top1 again no kappa

Feels Steel man

2017-10-19 21:44

2017-10-19 22:50

you are fake news.

2017-10-19 22:56

Yeye very goood

2017-10-19 22:57

if this is true, I think is scary cuz boltz is too passive but I guess having one more passive player will give fer even more freedom and will give felps the freedom to be a fucking god again, on wathever team he joins...

2017-10-19 23:10

How can you talk about Taco? just look at the last games of SK and see that Taco has played very well and has been a very important player for SK ...

2017-10-19 23:21

It's just a fact that taco takes all the shitty roles and plays decent. Felps got whatever he wanted and still underpreformed

taco is a god, he is the best possible br player for his roles he is always solo bombing on ct side, and always left on the other side, to do 2x1 3x1 retakes lol people who think taco is trash because of his stats etc are probably nip or s1mple fanbois HAHAHAHA xD #thecryisfree #TACOREST

2017-10-19 23:36

2017-10-20 03:36
