João “felps” Vasconcellos Rumored to Join Former 100 Thieves Roster
João “felps” Vasconcellos, who recently left SK Gaming after the ELEAGUE Major: Boston, might have a new team lined up. According to an HLTV report, the former 100 Thieves roster is considering felps as their new fifth member. This move would be in response to Vito “kNg” Giuseppe’s inappropriate behavior, which led to his and his team’s release from 100 Thieves. Bruno “bit” Lima tweeted that the team will not be playing with kNg.
Boltz Joins SK Gaming as Felps Takes a Step Back
Ever since SK Gaming temporarily brought Ricardo “boltz” Prass into their lineup on loan from Immortals, felps has been sitting on the bench. Boltz is expected to officially join the SK lineup in the coming weeks. With boltz, SK won the EPICENTER 2017 and the BLAST Pro Series. Felps’ last tournament with SK was the Boston Major due to roster lock rules, where they placed top four after losing to Cloud9 in the semifinals.
Roster Changes on the Horizon for Brazilian CS:GO Teams
A tweet from SK Gaming hints at potential roster changes among Brazilian teams, including SK Gaming, the former 100 Thieves lineup, and even Immortals, who signed a lesser-known Brazilian team. These moves were made after the transfer of Henrique “HEN1” Teles, Lucas “LUCAS1” Teles, and Lincoln “fnx” Lau. The specific details of these potential changes remain uncertain.
Contractual Obligations Pose a Challenge for felps’ Next Move
The main obstacle for felps is that he is still under contract with SK Gaming until June. Therefore, any team interested in acquiring him may need to negotiate a transfer buyout with SK Gaming.
