TACO confirms SK exit
Epitacio "TACO" de Melo has confirmed that he is no longer part of SK Gaming's roster.
In a Twitlonger post, Epitacio "TACO" de Melo wrote that this is "perhaps the hardest decision" of his life and noted that he has decided to close "the final chapter" of what he described as "the most beautiful book" he has written.
The announcement comes just hours after HLTV.org reported that SK's trio of Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo, Marcelo "coldzera" David and Fernando "fer" Alvarenga are looking to revamp the squad, with Na`Vi's Aleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev and Egor "flamie" Vasilyev having been identified as their main targets.
TACO leaves SK
TACO had been part of the team since November 2015, when he was recruited by FalleN's squad together with Lincoln "fnx" Lau after impressing for Games Academy. During his time on Luminosity/SK, he helped the team to win several international tournaments, including two Majors in 2016.
"Some weeks ago I realised I was not happy," TACO wrote. "A few days ago, I decided to find the joy to play that I have not felt in a long time, even if that meant that I had to leave the team that I had helped to become one of the best in the history of the game.
"The jersey is heavy and not everyone can wear it for such a long period. With great pride and no regrets, I wore it for two years and four months. It took a lot of determination, work and dedication.
"During all this time, the external pressure on me was huge, and that is perhaps one of the things that led to this outcome.
"I leave today after leaving my mark and my legacy during these 28 months: 13 trophies, 21 finals and 10 semi-finals. I leave with no regrets, anger or remorse. I leave, but I leave the doors open."
In a follow-up tweet, TACO has since guaranteed that he will continue to play and that he will take some days to analyse the offers that he will get.
SK currently have:
Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo

Washed up player with no future, finally letting SK win tournaments again.
bro stfu pls
Truth hurts it seems.
your just dumb
You're just braindead, classic shroud fans, never know when a player doesn't do shit anymore.
+100000
FNS and Thoorin the masterminds of cs go
ARE YOU MAD?
Was about to comment the same
Taco is no longer the little kid that hide behind fallen, he is mature to hold his own. His wing are ready for him to fly SOLO, this also tells you that their friendship is so weak and can not handle any challenges. this really tells you how hard it is for vp to stay together so long. And this will be the single most successful br team anr no other br team will come close.
I hate to break it to ya and you might wanna grab some tissues before you read this............................ VP split x
bye Tacoy. Gonna be hard for Baitzera
Gonna miss him :(
Have a nice day!
-VeryNiceGuy
taco, on of the most underrated players ever
you meant fnx!?
nahh, taco did so much for the team, just watch some demos first and stop looking only at the scoreboards
its not only that, can you also solo secure bombsites or play in shit bombsites while other players get much more action => impact potencial in the game while others get other more impactful potencial, for example, solo stand on B site on mirage??? thx for comment you clearly dont understand shit about cs
kisses
"solo stand on B site on mirage" i gave you an example, I can elaborate on my example: taco holding B alone (normally with awp) when sk does the setup where cold (instead of going short) goes A site hidden to suprise with a suprise element. When the enemy dont go A directly and take mid control + catwalk, do you think Taco is in a good position to hold be from 2 entraces?? Plus B is a low frag position to be on ct on mirage
not salty! btw, if you are so good, im genuinely interested to know lvl faceit and elo and that shit, or in case of that, which team do you play? :)
+1 taco is a huge impact player.
You've been typing a lot and giving examples. Unfortunately, none of your replies address my doubt on TACO. I genuinely think English is the barrier here. Let me try to dumb down my argument for you.
My point:
>TACO can't do shit with his shit roles.
Your point
>TACO plays shit roles.
Let me put my question in another way in case you missed it again.
>Of all the players that play shit roles, what makes TACO a good shit-role player?
or
>What distinguishes a excellent shit-role player and a terrible shit-role player?
also, the more you commit ad hominem, the more braindead you look. You do seem to be a reasonable guy to come up with actual arguments. I think you can do better than that.
Firstly, I must agree that English is a barrier here, probably I don't understand well you/explain myself since English is not my main language
I think I can partially agree with your first point, but in my opinion that happens cause he gets into a difficult position when he plays shit roles, but I am not saying he can't do better, totally not
">Of all the players that play shit roles, what makes TACO a good shit-role player?"
Answering this other point, I understand what you say since Taco is not he only player in the world who plays (for example) B site Mirage alone, obviously, but (im not 100% sure about this point, I didn't do the math) Taco must be one of the players that get more percentage of shit roles alongside all current maps.
">What distinguishes an excellent shit-role player and a terrible shit-role player?"
Unfortunately, there's not many players who sacrifices themselves and put their ego aside so that their team/star players can shine, but I can just point that number of frags or deaths and HLTV scores don't translate how a player perform well on a game. I'll give one example: Taco playing door as T on cache. Do you ever watch him play that position? How much pressure he makes with his presence, how he takes info jumping around the door, how he acts when a T or CT kill happens. I'm not saying that other skilled players cant do that job, but he does (although its a boring one) and where are the extra HLTV points for his fantastic performance on that position? So about your question, can't generalize an answer but I guarantee you that its not HLTV rating for sure
Generally I understand your arguments and I can partially agree with you, but people in general must praise Taco and what he always had been done while he played on SK, because Im totally sure he is a high skilled player and in my opinion he should get the star role in the next team he joins just to prove what he is capable of
I don't expect anyone to accept my perspective. That's good at least you can partially agree with me.
The reason that I think TACO is bad is not just about stats, it's the way he approaches his roles. Solo hold a bombsite for example. The objective of solo holding a bombsite should neither be dying in vain, nor to successfully hold the site. To do a good job, you should try your best to delay your enemies (using position and nades). The best scenario is to get a kill or two and then stay alive. The minimum requirement is to get a kill before you go down so a retake is at least possible. If you just die whenever you solo hold a bombsite, you are not contributing. That's TACO's biggest problem to me. He's not good at staying alive. More often than not he dies in vain. Therefore I kicked in the joke that "I can solo a bombsite and die as well."
If you look at players like Xyp9x. He doesn't have fancy stats, which makes sense because of the role he plays, but he is extremely intelligent in the way he approaches his role. There are numerous times I saw him solo hold a site, got a kill, stayed alive, got to an advanced position to isolate the enemy team. Those moves lay the ground for a successful retake.
peace my friend.
Again I can partially agree with you and your perspective about Taco. Surely he is aware of what you said about solo BS and im sure that if he does that during 27 months of leadership of Fallen&Cold, there's probably a reason for it, but I see many times he getting shit weapons (ump and shit) so maybe that explains in some way how successful he was sometimes not holding well BSs. Apart from that, again, I agree in some way about what you saying.
Anyway, thanks for the discussion, sry if in any mean I was salty! peace my friend
Taste the salt lol kid you’re dumb he didn’t say one salty thing
You mad? ‘Cause I’m not
XD
i was kidding, i just <3 fnx ^_^
my fav cs player from brasil ever even above cogu, fallen, kikooo and coldzera

How is it karma though if Taco leaves on his own accord?

FINNALY -BOT SK TOP AGAIN
U are the worst supporter of ur country
No that's people like VP and Navi etc. Taco played less than 3 years and was apart of the most powerhouse csgo lineup and left the team on his own will without being a constant burden to his teammates like friberg for example. Taco has won ESL proleague, game blast and 3rd at the major in under 4 months time. Lots of players continue to play years after their prime.
he was playing bad at the end but still give him the respect he deserves, that was very succesfull run in LG/SK
BYEE
RIP TACOld
Taco left
Bolz will be kicked even tho he's on loan
Well he's not a bad player. He was doing much better on IMT and in the 3 tournaments he won with SK. Playing like a top tier player. He's not doing well individually now, but I think this could be fixed changing his roles and SK's setups, especially on CT side. Which might happen now, with a different and hopefully better player
Oof
Damn, I love taco
gg
Rip baitzera
Can’t bait taco anymore
He can bait flamie tho
To be fair he would bait anyone
I’d love to see simple and coldzera on the same site and see who would bait first

he was a decent baiter for coldzera
saddest exit :(
Fuck.. Why Taco??? You were great player
i didnt respect taco for his gameplay... I respected him for his role in team, for his sacrifice, for his strong mentality getting over negative talks about him.. He's great guy and i hope he didnt give up.
He left...
no plz, no nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
what a shame ;(
A dramatic turn of events

show him respect taco is a great guy and he did his job and that he leaves SK is for me very sad ( dont hate me as well with my english :( )
Sounds like he wants to retire
I guess you are right
welcome mr S1mple)Finally...
is it necesary to respect Taco de Melo?
Feels like a mistake.
a very sad day to see him go but such gentle words from a man who can only be described as one of the nicest people in the cs scene.
are u mad?
He is right m8
takes time out of his own downtime in between games to talk to fans & just walk at venues, always happy and just overall a good vibes person to be around.
trash talk = him not holding back opinions or just wanting to spice up the competition.
block peoples = blocking people who constantly talk shit to u and tell u that u are shit and don't deserve to be on a team yeah id block them also.
arrogant = no that's just confidence in himself and the team.
HERE WE GO BOYS
fucking finally

I feel sorry for him :/
Only idiots trash talk TACO without him im sure SK would not be as great today but for now this is the best choice
I didnt expect that glhf taco
That letter was something
It made me feel emotional
humble and real man attitude.
gl taco !

he was the main reason for sk ct problems.
attack taco -> win t round . and pls no support player shit talk!
the scene is stepping up since 2 years, he is not. time to make the change, dont hate sk.
Rip vaco :( maybe NTC ?
He is a salty baiter and fat, don't worry
are you mad ? cuz im not
GL legend
He makes cold top 1... :(
Unfortunately it had to be this way.
Good luck Taco <3 and thank you
most underrated brazilian player
a marca VACO bateu record de vendas hj, povo comprou as camiseta e os bone pra usar como carvão e acende a churrasqueira pra comemora a saida dele
KKKKKKKKKKKKK pqp selo br hater de qualidade
nao eh hater, é realidade kkkkkkkkkk eu acompanho o cs desde a versão 1.5 e eu posso afirmar com categoria que o TACO, entre os times tier 1 da HISTORIA, ta entre os 3 piores FACILMENTE. Foi o pior profissional que ja vi atuar por um time br até hoje no nivel tier 1
some say he is bad, but he isn't, they were a very successfull team afterall and to be that successfull every player has to perform. Taco was always there to deliver good cs, not at coldzera or fer level but people always like to criticize... IMO it is going to be really hard to find a player to fill TACO's role for SK, at least to match his level. Good luck for him and to SK aswell.
Rip :( good luck VACO thank you for all
I think TACO is a good player and person, good lucky for him!
Well, i hope taco the best tho... hopefully he will find the motivation and happiness that he's looking for. 2x major winner eventhought he wasn't the best player ever , let's show him some respect.
+1
Respect for TACO
and GL in the Future !
Now kick boltz, gg.
Unfortunately it was the best decision for SK, but I do respect TACO and I hope that he will come back stronger than ever, thanks for everything in SK/LG taco! <3
s1mple NO!!!!
Thanks TACO. As a SK hater, I thank you because without you, this team is going to be shit (at least I hope so). And that's good.
> Today was the day I’ve decided for myself, taking the hardest decision in my life.
>decided for myself
OMEGALUL

no taco no trophy for baitzera

finally taco leaves sk. i was waiting for this.
you were a great teammate taco, good luck in the future.
The truth about Taco leaving SK...
Because Fallen can have more excuse:
* we play without Taco
* we made changes recently
expected from brazil's son
huehueuhuehue
0/8
It was time for him to go, but all his efforts, his path, humility, everything he sacrificed for the team, it's remarkable. Hope he can find some joy in CSGO again.
DOIS CALDICANA
GELADO!
finally,
nothing personal to him,
but he wasn't skilled enough
sk's decoy man
YES YES YES YESYES YES YES YESYES YES YES YESYES YES YES YESYES YES YES YESYES YES YES YESYES YES YES
SK TOP 1 AGAIN
Gl taco. One of my favorites character player in cs scene. Gl in future also fuck haters keep that in mind
THX GOD <3
Man... even tho SK isn't my fav team this is sad D:
massive respect to this legend!
NO
That was about time.
May he be a bot in another team.
yes he was playing bad but TACO is a legendary player imo
he did so much for his team and coldzera's success
i hope u find a new good team and proof everyone u can do more than just supporting 1 player.
Taco, brother, legend, VACO, FRACO
so many hateful, disrespecful comments, why is it so hard to treat someone with respect dispite how good or bad someone´s skill in the game or in the outside world. True that he has less skill, , gameplay than the others but he had his role within the team,and I think many times he did well whithin his limits. There´s no reason to offend someone just for not being perfect, if you guys so perfect, why none of you play at their level?
If he left the team or was kicked, so what?Why call someone trash?GUess its hard for people to have education, respect for others, sometimes I feel so ashamed being a brazilian, most of the sick posts in hltv comes from childish, spoiled, immature people. INstead of calling him or anyone garbage, just say thankyou, wish you luck? The guy was akways playing with tremendous pressure, and like he said, not everyone´s capable of wearing SK shirt.
It is easy to criticize others from the outside, even though he is really less skilled, fragger than the others, he is still probably better than most of the commentators in hltv forum.
Anyway, thanks Taco, good luck and dont give up in your search to play enjoying the game :)
Oh boy here we go
gl taco!
Respect taco! Goodluck
And you can expect most of them to be ranked in the top 5-6 next year if that team works...
In fact I could see 4 of them in the top 5...
The move is happening...
As much as I’ve bashed TACO on here for being a weak individual player, at least he has a boatload of trophies to show for his time on LG/SK, and he helped coldzera become the best by doing his donkey work.
Legend, gl in the future <3
good luck, TACO
LEGEND!! Good look in the future, Vaco!
wtf
+rep TACO
Congratz and i wish you the best!!
SK will remember you 4ever
Unexpected
+1 i hope it was really his decision
i think he needs a break to see his family and friends, find some motivation and join a competent team. I can see it happen given his english is great and hes got good rep in the community and among pros. GL taco
i cant respect this decision unless it was taco's very own choice, damn sk i really hope u didnt get rid of him
Yeah, still too much shady at all. I know that the decision didn't come today, specially with the 20 min long farewell video being posted along the initial twits...
Also @mamacitadoglobal posted something about "push forward in time". Maybe this is just a preparation for the rumored mibr team. Maybe.
I really don't see s1mple and flamie fitting with the "trio" so I can only see this as some weird transition with players and the SK org for their contract termination (pointed to be in the north's summer).
Leaves the team with 2 majors. Not too shabby.
Taco + Fox + Hen1 + Lucas1 + Mutiris?
it would be literraly the worst team ever
Finally tbh
VACO 4Ever
+1 TACO made coldzera. coldzera is good, but TACO put him on another level just watch. Also, when they grab s1mple, coldzera doesn't need to frag as hard
not saying it's going to happen, but when RUBINO left north, you could tell how valuable he was for them. now if TACO was as valuable as SK put him as, we will see. s1mple joining is really high now... to much evidence at this point
Respeita o manito!
S1MPLE and Coldzera in the same team.... SK will be the most toxic team ever.
I cant see this guys working together... I think the rivalry is too big.
I'm starting to wonder, does the Brazilian scenario of CS abroad is beginning to die off slowly? :'(
But Team One and NTC, doesn't made a long history... Why does it have to end like this?
Thanks for everything TACO.
I will never forget you.

BoT TACO! Finally SK-gaming will get up.
Thanks God
Mental aspect of the game.. People lose motivation as a team (or lose faith/trust in teammates) and then struggle no matter how much potential/skill they have collectively as a team. Similar thing happened with VP. Once that mental slide started happening it was all over with.
During severe slumps, it takes having to shake up the squad sometimes in order to reinvigorate that motivation.
It's a similar thing in Hockey (to use a sport as an example).. Sometimes if certain forward lines are in a slump and just not performing anymore, the coach will often change up the lines and split them up with different players on the team to spark them and get them motivated again.
Finally, taco was there for too long, absolute trash player, glad he left. Good luck in the future tho
Gonna miss U Vaco
The Downfall of SK will continue kicking Taco wont help anything he was a very important piece of their team only player that i can think of that could replace taco is Steelega
+1 NTC confirmed
S1mple and Flamie will be much better replacement. SK with S1mple will be no.1 again I think...
Love it how every brazillian was saying taco should be kicked and all but now hes gone they are all crying
Good luck 🌮
Worst decision ever !! First fnx and now TACO, FalleN would never achieve anything with s1mple ... FalleN should have tried his country fellowmen Lucas1 or Hen1
Finally!
Good bye BOTACO
Its sad to see that he leaves cuz of what ppl say. Same thing happend to Fifflaren from Nip years ago. Its so frustrating to see that ppl dont see the game in a bigger way then the stats on the board. There is a reason why coldzera is the best there is a reason why messi is the best. Its a teamplay game whit diffrent roles. The amount of info that taco provided to his team m8s is going to history. Im gonna be total honest and say this is a big lose For SK and in 4-5 months ppl are gonna see it feel it. Same thing that was whit fifflaren. Cant understand how you ppl can look yourselfs in the mirror.. You destroyed the joy for him to even play the game. Respect taco and hope you will get the joy back.
yeah except taco was weighing them down. When you need X amount of frags and you got a guy who isn't performing close games will side against them. There's a reason why guy's like mario gomez were dropped from teams cause they weren't doing their jobs and can be rehired if they do their job adequately again. Fifflaren is an awful example as he was a mediocre player that wasn't adding anything to the team (amazing strats, making other players better ,etc).

SK ERA COMMING

Good guy. Bad sk movement.
sk retired now fucking idiots
Biggest noob in cs history, i don't understand how sk can win any camp with this guy
God forgives but TACO doesn´t thx Taco you are a incredible player but why you man...
Caike and Taco for NTC?
I expected TACO to be the one leaving, sad to see him go :/
Ppl tend to forget, Taco was a decent player
Ppl tend to forget, Taco had some skill, and actually some rare moments of raw skill
But Ppl understood , Taco always wanted to be a star
No, Taco actually Thought he was a star
But of course he wasnt.
Taco top 1000 csgo players
So bye bye bot
This guy is probably the most underrated player in csgo. Sk's success and their win streaks dont just come from cold,fallen, and fer. This guy right here sacrifices a lot so that players like cold and fer can shine. Not to mention very hardworking player.
To all the retards saying he is a bot,its deserved or whatever,i assume they start watching cs since 2016 or something. Especially,brazilians who talk shit about him. Like wow you guys are totally braindead for not supporting your own countryman.
He is actually a very good player but individually putted down for the likes of cold and the others. Anyways goodluck on your journey taco! All the best
