The rumors about Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev and Egor "flamie" Vasilyev from Natus Vincere joining SK Gaming did not materialize – instead, the Brazilian squad has signed Jacky "Stewie2K" Yip, who used to play for Cloud9.
According to the official statement, Stewie2K joins the team on a temporary basis. The team’s leader Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo wrote in his twitter-post that he is “very excited to try out Stewie as our 5th member”, which also signalizes that this decision is not final. The player will replace Epitácio "TACO" de Melo, who left the team a week ago.
Jacky "Stewie2K" Yip is a 20-years-old American player, who started his professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive career in 2014. On January 2016 he joined Cloud9, together they placed first at ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals, DreamHack Open Denver 2017, IBUYPOWER Masters 2017 and most recently ELEAGUE Major: Boston 2018.
