TACO Discusses Leaving SK Gaming and Future Plans in Reddit AMA

Today, Epitácio "TACO" de Melo held an Ask Me Anything session on the official Counter-Strike: Global Offensive subreddit for fans, as the community had many questions for the player after he had announced his departure from SK Gaming. From his leaving of the organization to his future plans in professional CS:GO, TACO answered questions concering a variety of topics.  

Even with the large amount of success that TACO experienced by being a member of a SK Gaming team that has been one of the very best in professional CS:GO for years, he revealed that there have been a few times where he considered parting ways with the organization.  

With his recent departure and the recent rumors of Natus Vincere players Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev and Egor "flamie" Vasilyev possibly making their way to join SK Gaming, fans have been curious with what the future may hold for the SK Gaming roster. TACO stated that the team has found a replacement player to fill his empty spot, but that he was not allowed to give any more information. He also explained that he was already gone from the team when SK Gaming began to pursue s1mple and flamie. 

The Brazillian player went to reveal his future plans, stating that he is looking for a new environment to be his home for the next stage of his professional career.  

With TACO's announcement of leaving SK Gaming shocking the community, the community was curious to learn when TACO decided that it was time to leave the team. 

TACO's departure from SK Gaming puts an end to one of the very best teams that professional CS:GO has ever seen, but with his experience being a member of a team that secured multiple championships during its time playing together, it will be shocking to see TACO not signed to a new team very soon.
