ex-100 Thieves eye felps as kNgV- replacement

1/2/2018 - 16:19

The former 100 Thieves team have targeted SK Gaming’s backup member João "felps" Vasconcellos as the replacement for Vito "kNgV-" Giuseppe, HLTV.org has learned.

The Brazilian team have been on the lookout for a new fifth player since Vito "⁠kNgV-⁠" Giuseppe was released while the squad still represented 100 Thieves.

The North American organisation’s decision to cut ties with the players will not bring about a reunion between the team and kNgV-, who, according to Bruno "⁠BIT⁠" Fukuda Lima, has embarked on "new projects".

Sources close to the team have guaranteed to HLTV.org that João "⁠felps⁠" Vasconcellos is the primary target to fill the vacant spot on the roster, rejecting suggestions that the players are not on good terms with the SK member.

HEN1 and co. want felps

The 21-year-old has been on SK’s bench since November, when he was replaced by Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass on the starting line-up. Last month, he played for the team as a stand-in at the ELEAGUE Major, helping them to reach the semi-finals and retain their Legend status.

The main stumbling block for felps to join ex-100 Thieves is that he remains contracted to SK until June. This means that any organisation willing to sign the team will have to reach an agreement with SK for felps' transfer.

Prior to joining SK, felps played alongside Henrique "⁠HEN1⁠" Teles and Lucas "⁠LUCAS1⁠" Teles under three different organisations: Games Academy, Tempo Storm and Immortals. During this time, the team most notably won CEVO Pro League Season 9, iBUYPOWER Masters and DreamHack Open Summer.

HLTV.org has reached out to SK Gaming for comment.

he does a comparison between fer and felps, since both have very similar game styles, but he speaks in the sense that the fer is so good that he would not be of this world and as felps is Brazilian, he would "represent" the fer (but in a normal level, that is, being of this world and consequently of Brazil)

Kng did nothing wrong

Obvious choice.

What a shit team

nice

If felps wants to ruin his career.. just join to ex- 100T

He doens't speak english, so that is actually the best move he could do, IF they can get an org and receive a salary. He'll be able to play in the way he wanted to play - agressive. Also, there are no brazilian organizations that are able to pay Felps what he deserves.

2018-02-01 18:00

I didn't know m8 that he doesn't speak in English.. nowadays it's a Obligation to play in NA

2018-02-01 19:14

He recently did an interview to DoubleTap and had a friend to translate the questions and answers. This is how I found out.

You can't complain about them having bit, they haven't even played yet. He could fit in perfectly with the team, you never know.

2018-02-01 17:43

Shut you canadaian short stubby dick ass up

Steel is trash, lmao. What are you smoking? There are like 7 good Brazilian players, and steel is not one of them.

2018-02-02 01:42

im bored of felps, why not +chelo or +yelzao

LG guys have already stated that they wont leave the team. Remember when Boltz and Steel were alone in IMT? They tried to buy them as well and couldnt.

2018-02-01 16:56

Actually they didn't buy them cuz Noah said they would cost too much. But LG players can't be compared to 100t players... LG tier4 100t tier1.5

2018-02-01 19:44

Obvius

expected. i hope they dont find an org stupid enough to sign these shitheads.

#felpsinnocent.

2018-02-01 16:48

feel sorry for him. but he decided to join up with them. so its deserved.

2018-02-01 17:22

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2018-02-01 17:45

Kng was 90% of the problem tho

2018-02-01 17:07

and fnx not willing to train after some weeks coz of "loosing motivation" isnt a problem? its his fucking job to play this game. they are just a bunch of unprofessional shitheads. its not only on kng that they have the worst reputation in this whole fucking scene.

2018-02-01 17:27

So what? Felps left sk because he was missing his family/lack of motivation

some org have to do this, i think

2018-02-01 17:50

YES PLZ

switching from a dangerous double awp setup to a dangerous sex duo

Imm with felps = Good team Imm with Kng = top5 team

imt with kng = 2 disbands

2018-02-01 17:49

Immt with kNg = 2 tournaments. He's not that good. Hen1 was the reason for them to reach the major final...

2018-02-01 19:47

I am so fuckin tired of hearing about this team

2018-02-01 17:04

well, of course its expected! But, I guess, they've very different personality, but, however, he can provide experience to them. We smart, we loyal, we friendly, we are from BRAZIL! Kreygasm

2018-02-01 16:54

Sticker prices are going down, well.. It's not rare when they keep playing.. I suggest to sell stickers asap.. imo

Good one

2018-02-01 16:57

Kinda funny that now they expect some other org to save them and spend loads of money on them :D GL... No idea which org would be that dumb to spend money on them.

2018-02-01 17:09

Alot i think, ez major team.

could easy get in top 25 , also I think it's better than that QBF trash "legends" LUL

2018-02-01 18:43

Well wit QBF, you ohave guaranteed sticker money and major appearence. You never know whats gonna happen with this "team".

2018-02-01 21:52

kNg did nothing wrong

Felps > kng

2018-02-01 17:13

HEN1 and co. want felps. Sounds like a threat - " give us Felps and then we will not destroy another organization"

And how would "Ex-100T" players afford Felps buyout? LOL First of all Hen1, Lucas1, BIT and FNX gotta find a org that is willing to sign them, then they must talk with the org and tell them to buy Felps... i mean..

2018-02-01 17:31

this is the easiest part lol

2018-02-01 17:53

Easiest part? hen1/Lucas1 and FNX isnt "angels" lol. And who knows, It might be super hard for them to sign for a new org (Sure, no KNG in this lineup, but still). They have like...Misfits? CLG? as options (But Misfits might sign some other team)

dude they dont have kng anymore lol I agree if kng was on the lineup, for the first time in their lifes they took a good professional decision =p with this 4 players + felps wanting to join = ez org any NA org that can pay a good salary will be down for it, in terms of misfits and CLG, would be their best lineup ever this core have a major winner, felps that played 6 months in the best team in the world, and the other guys who are top2 at major and already won dreamhack and shit, only bit1 would be the weak link. this lineup is straigh fire my friend... nowdays its getting harder and harder to get a good team =T

2018-02-01 18:07

"Easiest part? hen1/Lucas1 and FNX isnt "angels" lol." Duh, obv i know that they dont have KNG, but Hen1/Lucas and FNX fucked up as well with the whole "Party scandal". Who knows, Felps might not want to join? Its not like Felps have told us/HLTV "Yes i want to join". Misfits will sign som SA team (Ex-Gale Force i think?) and CLG could maybe sign them.

dude their team can qualify for a lot of lan events, can win NA local lans (imt never lost to c9 on local NA lans) great publicity cuz br fans love them, already top10 100% felps will join them 100%, they played together and won stuff like dreamhack together, 2x0 nip on sweden if he dont join them, LG is the best team possible for him, and LG is a core that give their lifes to win against complexity LUL getting this ex 100t core >>> any shit NA team the na lineups or SA lineups woudnt give you problem outside the game, but they woudnt qualify for anything

2018-02-01 18:46

Misfits are in talks with ex- Gale Force afaik

2018-02-01 20:24

E X P E C T E R E D E D

tier 2 team unfortunately

prove it or...

2018-02-01 17:47

ez top 8

2018-02-01 17:42

felps > kng

It is the best option for both sides. Felps enters a team where he will be the star and the drunken boys will gain one more quiet mind to balance the team's moods.

2018-02-01 17:51

Too much speculation for too little information.

2018-02-01 17:52

according to dead (SK manager and coach) SK players dont have a specific buyout, so it would be way easier to buy felps, as he contract is coming to and end soon... cuz SK org isnt retarded like noah or something lol, so it wont be a buyout like 1234823940230894230843208-940328949083248923432 US

So... Why do you think Noah is a retarded? kNg was a douchbag, he sold the trio for $1 million. Now he's probably going to "buy" SK line up as MiBr. Imo he's a genius. kNg is the retarded one...

2018-02-01 19:50

I mean retarded as being an asshole and make things difficult I dont care about money etc, I just want to have entertainment watching good cs he can ge a genius on business or something, but who cares -.- I'm not getting any money, I just want watch ed shots

2018-02-01 19:52

Why do you think he's an asshole?

2018-02-01 19:54

Noah isn't retarded. In fact, I think he's an excellent businessman. He managed to sell a legends spot + three benched players for a million and still managed to cash in the major prize for his org.

2018-02-01 17:57

Super expected

kng >>>>>>>>>>>>>> felps

2018-02-01 18:01

Each player has different roles in the game. Totally different styles.

still kng better

felps is hotter than kng

2018-02-02 05:38

No Kng no party, why KNG??

With Felps they'll gonna be better than Noob FaZe clan.

2018-02-01 18:16

2019... ex-100T still looking to play any match :DD

2018-02-01 18:19

2018-02-01 18:58

The only way Felps gets on before June is for an org to pick up the ex-100T team and also be willing to shell out the payout to SK for Felps. He'd be a good addition and with the right org should be able to quickly rise to top 15 and possibly eventually top 10.

2018-02-01 18:36

Just hope he doesn't get fucked by their lack of professionalism, because felps is one of the most humble guys I know. He deserves a top tier team

2018-02-01 18:30

thank mr felps

2018-02-01 18:49

strong team

felps wont. He already said he has personality differences with those loud people. Felps is shy and quiet and shy, has a gf meanwhile the twins and fnx are loud, parties guys

2018-02-01 20:01

Felps had rejected the First offer of this line.

2018-02-01 20:07

the role with kng is way better than this one, but still a tier 1 team

2018-02-01 20:11

That was kinda expected, he'll probably play his style within this line up and i have no doubts that If he Join em they'd be a great team representing any org, ez top 15 i'd say, mark my words hahah. I'm also very excited to see what are the Kng plans for his future, but praying 4 the best for all these guys, once they're representing my country. If you're going to reply me Just dont be toxic, i respect all the opinions Have a nice day

2018-02-01 21:18

didn't like KNG for his first tweet drama, but I think he somehow doesn't deserve all the hate he gets, and that second story with THOORIN is honestly just garbage created by Thoorin himself imo... Hope he'll find a way to make a living out of what he loves... There's definitely too much hate from every side... A bit of banter is good, but not when it goes too far... Really looking forward to see how the players will approach their careers after all these troubles!

2018-02-01 21:31

Well said bro, i share the same thoughts you have. That story with Thorin was Just bizarre, a "well known" analyst doing such thing brings shame to the scene... Well, also i really respect your opinion, doesn't matter where u from... Let's make It better ;)
