A letter to EliGE, NAF, Twistzz, nitr0, Joka and Team Liquid
I am going back home, but I want to say thank you to everyone in Team Liquid for these amazing 10 months.
Thanks for opening the doors for me when I most needed. I will never forget it and all the good moments we had together.
Playing for one of the biggest and best esports organizations in this planet was also a great thing in my career.
Russ, my little brother, I'm so proud of how much you developed as a person and player. I told you when I joined the team, I told you during my time in the team and I told you when I decided to leave the team: you will be the best in the world one day if you keep working. You have a good heart. Never doubt yourself.
Jon, thank you very much for every good talk we had and for the patience every time I was late, every time I asked you some English question or anything. If I am able to write this text in english now, you're a big part of this. You're a great player and guy. Gonna miss you.
Nick, you're the face of this team. It was a pleasure working with you. You are selfless, and this is the biggest attribute that I admire in a person. This is so important nowadays in this game. Gonna miss watching you eating chicken and playing Rocket League, will also miss your family.
Keith, to be honest I would say NAF, since I can't say Keith, but you're a great player. Dedicated and talented in your own way. Thanks for helping me out in every bombsite we played together and for the funny moments and laughs we had. If you ever think about killing me, think about this text. Lmao I'm gonna miss you man!
Joka, thanks for everything, every help, and sorry for every problem I gave you to solve. You helped me since the first day I joined this team and did everything you could do to make me feel good. It was really good working with you as well.
Dealing daily with a lot of nice people also made my life so much easier and I am proud to say that I am leaving this team in a better place than when I joined. I did not accomplish my and our goal for this year, and was not easy to deal with it but it was close and after a few days of reflection, I realized that there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Victor, my (ex) boss and Liquid's founder, thanks a LOT. You're a great boss and person.
To every American and Liquid CS:GO fan: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!!! What a GREAT time you gave me. I will always respect you. I will never forget every tournament we played in NA. Dallas, New York, Chicago... I will keep these moments forever in my heart.
**Shoutout to Manny, Bruce, Big Steve, Mike, Kevin, Ian and everyone at the TL's office.
Thanks,
Epitacio "TACO" de Melo
