TACO confirms SK exit

22/3/2018 - 21:56

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
Marcelo "coldzera" David
Fernando "fer" Alvarenga
Ricardo "boltz" Prass (on loan from Immortals)

27 meses e hoje, finalmente a despedida [PT-EN]

wow

2018-03-22 23:33

Exactly what I came to say

2018-03-22 23:58

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.

2018-03-23 00:39

I hate to break it to ya and you might wanna grab some tissues before you read this............................ VP split x

2018-03-23 10:28

bye Tacoy. Gonna be hard for Baitzera

2018-03-23 02:18

That's sad

2018-03-23 04:07

why do you love shroud when you're from albany

2018-03-23 09:00

He wasn't the best for a long time but he was a good support player and hopefully moving forward he will find the skill he was missing and carry his next team to victory. Respect

2018-03-23 12:35

You got kicked sucka!! Why can't any team just say we kicked someone because they suck. It's always the person leaving for school or personal problems then they are on a new team in a week.

2018-03-23 18:40

2018-03-22 22:24

you meant fnx!?

2018-03-22 23:21

nahh, taco did so much for the team, just watch some demos first and stop looking only at the scoreboards

2018-03-23 00:53

I can play the support/entry and die as well, should SK pick me up? XD

2018-03-23 02:52

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

2018-03-23 03:16

>solo secure bombsites Since when could TACO solo SECURE bombsites? Like I said, I can solo LOSE bombsite against pro teams as well. Should SK pick me up then? wow I can taste the salt!

2018-03-23 03:33

"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? :)

2018-03-23 05:59

+1 taco is a huge impact player.

2018-03-23 08:57

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.

2018-03-23 16:25

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

2018-03-23 19:58

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.

2018-03-23 20:44

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

2018-03-23 21:00

Taste the salt lol kid you’re dumb he didn’t say one salty thing

2018-03-22 22:22

Rofl are u that stupid? He didn't have slight chance to stay any longer in SK

2018-03-22 22:23

True his performance was starting to dip, but Fallen seemed to have the intentions to keep him on the team for a bit longer (as the simple/flamie deal wouldn't have been able to go through until 2019).

2018-03-22 22:28

They're looking to buy them out.

2018-03-22 23:30

Its not his own accord lol.

2018-03-22 22:26

You all for real? How is that made that almost always the worst players 'leave' the team by themselves? or maybe they're friends, they have contracts and just make it like that to look better? if u aint 12 yo u will notice sth wrong, greetings

2018-03-23 02:15

Kid you have no idea how the real World works. Most of the so called “leaving” or “resigning” are because their bosses are being respectful, and instead of firing them outright, simply telling them to leave.

2018-03-22 22:18

No he didn't or he'd leave earlier. He just wanted the $$$ from contract.

2018-03-23 00:27

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.

2018-03-23 00:34

he was playing bad at the end but still give him the respect he deserves, that was very succesfull run in LG/SK

OMEGALUL

2018-03-22 21:58

But Boltz stays... ok

2018-03-22 21:58

Probably because SK couldn't get a deal with Flamie, so only s1mple to join.

2018-03-22 22:20

Taco left Bolz will be kicked even tho he's on loan

2018-03-22 22:20

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

He can bait flamie tho

2018-03-22 22:29

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

2018-03-22 22:57

Only one baiting here is you

2018-03-23 00:04

Simple fanboy lol

2018-03-23 06:05

saddest exit :(

2018-03-22 21:59

I'm going to miss you so much!!!! Noooooo :(

2018-03-22 21:59

Fuck.. Why Taco??? You were great player

2018-03-22 21:59

Someone gotta to be blame for the "unacceptable results - by twofacedo toledo". Also, I do believe, as he said in the exit text, that he was feeling the pressure really hard.

2018-03-22 22:23

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.

2018-03-22 22:28

+1 Me too, I believe he will be able to play again sooner than later.

2018-03-22 22:00

You could overcome this, i'm sure. Always underrated cause of stats, I know you always played for the team and helped LG/SK to achieve the highest place. GG GL

2018-03-22 22:00

2018-03-22 22:25

So does that mean he quits pro CS?

2018-03-22 22:00

Nahhhh, he is young and a good player, probably will find some lower tier team, like LG or T1, maybe even lower with NTC or any other team in Brazil. His english is not that bad and he's a cool guy, maybe some NA lower tier could be a option.

2018-03-22 22:27

-steel +taco for Liquid might be nice, Taco can turn into full time awper and even if he doesn't, he's better than bot steel.

2018-03-22 23:29

Yeah, it would be nice, but I think they are still adapting to steel, so the switch would hurt. But I do agree that even if taco went full time glock he would be better than steel.

2018-03-22 23:43

Rip taco and cold duo

2018-03-22 22:00

2018-03-22 22:02

Wow. The most underappreciated player of all time. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you continue to prosper in CS! Thank you, Taco!

2018-03-22 22:02

+1, the thing I dislike about our scene is that people can blame players for dumb mistakes but they could never wish bad things to them.

2018-03-22 23:45

not limited to ur scene unfortunately, fifflaren had to endure the same thing before he decided to retire

2018-03-23 01:29

2018-03-22 22:07

Poor Taco

2018-03-22 22:08

I mean he's probably rich but poor in the heart you know

2018-03-22 22:08

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 :( )

2018-03-22 22:08

Good luck, TACO! You'll be successful wherever you are!

2018-03-22 22:08

Sounds like he wants to retire

2018-03-22 22:08

nooooo! he was unhappy playing with so much pressure. he said that he would have happiness playing even if he had to leave the team. In the end, he said he left, keeping the doors open without rancor

2018-03-22 22:14

I guess you are right

2018-03-22 22:28

Sad day

2018-03-22 22:09

Feels like a mistake.

2018-03-22 22:09

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.

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.

2018-03-22 22:44

trashtalk block peoples arrogant

2018-03-22 22:53

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.

2018-03-22 22:58

HERE WE GO BOYS

2018-03-22 22:09

2018-03-22 22:30

2018-03-22 22:30

Taco is a great man, thank you <3

2018-03-22 22:30

finally now time to kick boltz

2018-03-22 22:30

omg just look at him, he looks almost like a human

2018-03-22 22:31

what the hell i thats sopused to mean ?

2018-03-22 22:42

He is a salty baiter and fat, don't worry

2018-03-22 23:09

gg taco had bad numbers but to say the problems were only on him is stupid.

2018-03-22 22:32

where are the TACO Haters now????

2018-03-22 22:32

are you mad ? cuz im not

2018-03-23 00:50

2018-03-22 22:34

Unfortunately it had to be this way. Good luck Taco <3 and thank you

2018-03-22 22:34

Aleluiaaaaaaaa

2018-03-22 22:35

most underrated brazilian player

2018-03-22 22:35

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

2018-03-22 22:36

KKKKKKKKKKKKK pqp selo br hater de qualidade

2018-03-22 23:27

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

2018-03-22 23:54

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.

2018-03-22 22:38

Rip :( good luck VACO thank you for all

2018-03-22 22:39

nao to acreditando mano =( torcendo para que seja mentira e os 5 se juntem para representar somente o BRASIL pela MIBR

to falando pra continuar fallen fer cold taco boltz, ainda tinham muito pra ganhar juntos ... muito precoce as alteracoes

2018-03-22 22:53

Sad but expected. Good luck TACO.

2018-03-22 22:42

rip SK, who else is going to take notes now?

2018-03-22 22:42

I think TACO is a good player and person, good lucky for him!

2018-03-22 22:43

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.

2018-03-22 22:43

Lots of respect after those nice words. Sad that a lot of people don't see how much he did for SK just because they focus on the numbers.

2018-03-22 22:43

2018-03-23 00:49

Respect for TACO and GL in the Future !

2018-03-22 22:43

It's happening. Oh boy, DHM will be juicy.

2018-03-22 22:44

as a faze fan im a little scared

2018-03-22 22:44

Now kick boltz, gg.

2018-03-22 22:44

Finally!

2018-03-22 22:44

I wish you success in your future career

2018-03-22 22:46

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

2018-03-22 22:46

Atleast let him stay in the gaming house

2018-03-22 22:47

s1mple NO!!!!

2018-03-22 22:48

Soon fatheroffive will have SK flair ;)

2018-03-22 22:54

2018-03-22 22:49

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.

2018-03-22 22:55

Maybe the best for both sides. Taco was getting way too much hate. This of course is no thelping and also has impact on your performance. Maybe now he can play more free and have fun again, like he mentioned.

2018-03-22 22:55

Best of luck!

2018-03-22 23:09

finally taco leaves sk. i was waiting for this. you were a great teammate taco, good luck in the future.

2018-03-22 23:10

The truth about Taco leaving SK... Because Fallen can have more excuse: * we play without Taco * we made changes recently

2018-03-22 23:10

expected from brazil's son

2018-03-22 23:23

huehueuhuehue 0/8

2018-03-22 23:24

+rep ;-; I love this player, one of the bests Entrys, he is fcking humble. 27 months in the best team of alltime. Ty TACO <3

2018-03-22 23:10

GL TACO in the future. Him and Boltz were the only players i cheer for at SK.

2018-03-22 23:11

IKR, every frag or clutch or play from both of them were the ones I truly enjoyed and cheered at.

2018-03-22 23:41

2018-03-23 00:19

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!

2018-03-22 23:12

finally, nothing personal to him, but he wasn't skilled enough

2018-03-22 23:13

2018-03-22 23:13

2018-03-22 23:19

Good guy Taco. Wish him the best of luck. I hope he joins another team and gets back to his level of play. sometimes players just dont mix well and need to move on. but his play was going down

2018-03-22 23:20

Gl taco. One of my favorites character player in cs scene. Gl in future also fuck haters keep that in mind

2018-03-22 23:21

2018-03-22 23:23

respect taco. He might leave SK himself.

2018-03-22 23:23

massive respect to this legend!

2018-03-22 23:24

Fallen always talked about how much Taco did for the team. Adding P1mple and Flamie... ? Yeah this will be G2 2.0.. RIP

2018-03-22 23:31

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.

2018-03-22 23:32

will miss you, god bless your new ways .... : (

2018-03-22 23:33

Taco, brother, legend, VACO, FRACO

2018-03-22 23:35

Great player, he will comeback stronger

2018-03-22 23:36

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 :)

2018-03-22 23:38

im so fucking sad right now

2018-03-22 23:40

Oh boy here we go gl taco!

2018-03-22 23:40

Respect taco! Goodluck

2018-03-22 23:40

dream team... 1. coldzera (number 1 of word...) 2. fer (number 3) 3. fallen (number 6) 4. s1mple (number 8 ) 5. flamie ... now the 'faze clan' is fucked ... ; )

2018-03-22 23:42

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...

2018-03-23 00:00

1/ Coldzera speaks 1/10 english. 2/ s1mple was monster for the last couple of months with the AWP, now back to rifle role again. I dont think this team will work so good but we will see.

2018-03-23 10:05

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.

2018-03-22 23:40

Legend, gl in the future <3

2018-03-22 23:41

Great Player and amazing guy. Will be playing again for a great team in no time.

2018-03-22 23:42

TACO = BOT cry is free

2018-03-23 00:25

2018-03-22 23:52

hope u find happiness elsewhere, VACO. GL :)

2018-03-22 23:56

Thank you, Taco, for all the glory that you propose for us playing on SK. When the results is not coming, changes has to be done, and this time it needs your left. Maybe with this you can prove that thoses idiots that hates you are all wrong and you gonna back more strong.

2018-03-22 23:58

+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

2018-03-23 00:07

i cant respect this decision unless it was taco's very own choice, damn sk i really hope u didnt get rid of him

2018-03-23 00:01

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).

2018-03-23 00:15

Leaves the team with 2 majors. Not too shabby.

2018-03-23 00:01

Taco + Fox + Hen1 + Lucas1 + Mutiris?

2018-03-23 00:05

it would be literraly the worst team ever

2018-03-23 02:13

remember that story of taco last major xd now is new chapter in his life

2018-03-23 00:08

Weird he was the one carrying SK during the latests events

2018-03-23 00:11

i c what u did there

2018-03-23 00:23

Agora vai

2018-03-23 00:12

Finally tbh

2018-03-23 00:13

VACO 4Ever

2018-03-23 00:15

I really wanna see who is going to bait now for cold and be his personal meat shield because I doubt s1mple or flamie would agree with such a role.

2018-03-23 00:17

+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

2018-03-23 00:19

simple is talented, he can outfrag anyone, even on SK

2018-03-23 00:25

what if because of that cold gonna be less than top1 ?

2018-03-23 07:15

What if? He won’t be top 1 for sure

2018-03-23 14:47

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

2018-03-23 00:17

Can you actually explain the rationale for this nonsense, luvvie?

2018-03-23 00:23

Respeita o manito!

2018-03-23 00:20

S1mple and flamie? Wut!

2018-03-23 00:20

Taco young but wise.. great words. Taco is a very nice guy but hes tier 3 player no offense. Having 10 bad games and then having 1 good game doesnt conpensate for all the rest. GL taco u deserve

2018-03-23 00:22

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.

2018-03-23 00:25

Coldzera and s1mple GOATs of CSGO in the same team under one of the best IGLs.... This gonna be good.

2018-03-23 00:27

Ty, Taco ;(

2018-03-23 00:27

Legend! forever in cs history my friend

2018-03-23 00:28

I'm starting to wonder, does the Brazilian scenario of CS abroad is beginning to die off slowly? :'(

2018-03-23 00:30

It has been a great 2 year run. That would slow down at some point.

2018-03-23 00:57

But Team One and NTC, doesn't made a long history... Why does it have to end like this?

2018-03-23 01:02

Thanks for everything TACO. I will never forget you.

Thanks God

2018-03-23 09:14

Its funny how suddenly a team can stop performing

2018-03-23 09:16

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.

2018-03-23 09:27

That and the fact he probably just got sick of playing a video game.

2018-03-23 12:39

Thanks Allah!

2018-03-23 09:33

Finally, taco was there for too long, absolute trash player, glad he left. Good luck in the future tho

2018-03-23 09:58

Taco :'( s1mple confirmed

2018-03-23 10:09

Gonna miss U Vaco

2018-03-23 10:17

GL hf bro !

2018-03-23 10:19

Simple going to destroy BR scene lmao

2018-03-23 11:28

Somehow I don't think this will be the last time we see him in a top BR team. I can totally see him returning to coldzera and co. after several bad results from SK without Taco's efficiency in a role that only he can do.

2018-03-23 11:44

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

2018-03-23 11:53

+1 NTC confirmed

2018-03-23 12:23

S1mple and Flamie will be much better replacement. SK with S1mple will be no.1 again I think...

2018-03-23 12:29

Very well said. Huge respect. Whatever he decides to do I pray he finds peace. So long for now brother.

2018-03-23 12:37

Are you mad ? Cause i am not.

2018-03-23 12:38

This is so sick that simple is gonna replace TACO, u mad? Cuz im not

2018-03-23 12:58

Love it how every brazillian was saying taco should be kicked and all but now hes gone they are all crying

2018-03-23 13:27

finally

2018-03-23 13:27

Good luck 🌮

2018-03-23 13:42

Thorin breakdown incoming

2018-03-23 13:51

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

2018-03-23 13:58

Respect for Taco, a hugely underrated player and legit one of the best aimers in the game. He will have a chance to shine in another team.

2018-03-23 14:34

Finally! Good bye BOTACO

2018-03-23 14:38

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.

2018-03-23 14:40

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).

2018-03-23 15:43

2018-03-23 20:53

People are retarded. Well the majority that is. Its sad that a big mob of imbeciles can have such an impact to taco's confidence. Very underrated player.

2018-03-24 16:30

Taco Number 1 !!!!

2018-03-23 14:49

2018-03-23 18:29

Biggest noob in cs history, i don't understand how sk can win any camp with this guy

2018-03-23 18:34

God forgives but TACO doesn´t thx Taco you are a incredible player but why you man...

2018-03-23 18:45

2018-03-23 21:27

I expected TACO to be the one leaving, sad to see him go :/

2018-03-24 01:13

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

2018-03-24 02:57

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

2018-03-24 16:28

I completely agree with u, tyvm for these words. There is too much hate between some of us brazilians without reason. About Taco, i heard her mother is having health problems so he's not being able to deal with all the real life pressure afterall. tnx for everything Taquito

2018-03-24 21:51

Didnt know about it. Thats sad :(
