SK Gaming couch leaves couching to pursue his dream

The coach of the world’s top-rankedCounter-Strike: Global Offensive team has left the organization to jump-start his career as a player.

After spending an eventful year with the SK Gaming roster as a coach, Wilton “Zews” de Almeida Prado will now be chasing his dreams playing in the field with Immortals.

“The dream to play is always there,” Zews said in a statement. “After getting news that the Immortals players wanted me to lead them, that dream was rekindled instantly.” Zews said that the Immortals’ offer will provide him with a “new challenge and a chance to live out my dream of playing.”

Zews’s addition comes at the cost of Gustavo “SHOOWTiME” Gonçalves, who took part in the team’s recent victory at DreamHack Summer, where the squad defeated Swedish favoritesNiP in the grand final. Immortals CEO Noah Whinston will also be looking to facilitate any offers made to SHOOWTiME from interested organizations.
