A day after a rumor that SK Gaming were looking to replace Lincoln "fnx" Lau

with João "felps" Vasconcellos circulated on r/GlobalOffensive, Epitacio "TACO" de Melo made it clear that fnx would not be leaving the team anytime soon.

"The internal things in our team should stay in our team. fnx is not leaving SK," TACO told HLTV's Striker after the team's EPICENTER match against G2 Esports. "I can assure you we're focused on winning this event, we'll continue practising and working hard."

In addition to debunking the rumor, TACO touched on SK's time at EPICENTER, specifically their playoff match against G2.

After a rough start in EPICENTER's group stage, SK Gaming found their footing against G2 Esports in the Round of 6, defeating them 2-1 including a 16-0 game on Train.

"Train is actually our best map, I think if you look at the stats, I don't remember the last time we lost it. We have a really good Train since we built this team," said TACO.

SK Gaming's next EPICENTER match will be in the semifinal round against Virtus.pro Oct. 23 at 5:00 a.m. EST.
