According to a report from ESPN Brazil, Fallen, Fer, and ColdZera this three players from SK Gaming are set to join Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev and Egor ‘Flamie’ Vasilyev on a new team. The Players are believed to be leaving the organization after their contracts expire.
Most recently, SK imploded at WESG, which the team had stated was the most important event on the calendar for them. Preceding WESG, Natus Vincere failed to qualify for ECS Season 5, following which both s1mple and flamie opted not to join their national squads in China.
However, SK Gaming has not been able to win tournaments, and we have seen in the past that Fallen always wants to make the best team possible. Despite being one of the best teams towards the end of 2016, they were not really winning tournaments. A roster change brought around a lot of success for the team.
“The odds of s1mple joining are almost 100 percent guaranteed,” the ESPN report claims. The report also mentions that Egor “flamie” Vasilyev may also be joining the roster, but it is currently uncertain due to the 21-year-old’s steep buyout with Na`Vi.
Immortals were quickly found to be the first probable organization the roster would join, particularly given its purchase of the rights to the MiBR (Made in Brazil) organization: the most prestigious Brazilian organization in CS history.

The thought of s1mple and coldzera on a team together is enough to get anybody excited, and when you throw in the likes of fer, FalleN, and flamie, you end up with the sort of firepower that makes FaZe Clan look rather tame.
s1mple, coldzera and fer is more ridiculous that FaZe, considering this trio are all in their prime.

However, according to Dekay this is not yet 100% confirmed. The teams are still in negotiations and there are several other players being considered for the job.
The s1mple and flamie stuff is true, but far from a done deal. I've heard a few other names involved as well. I had intended on publishing a similar report to @neLendirekt after my NTC report today.

If the talks are to be successful, the proposed line-up would look as follows:
- [flag country=”br”] Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo
- [flag country=”br”] Fernando “fer” Alvarenga
- [flag country=”br”] Marcelo “cold” David
- [flag country=”ru”] Egor “flamie” Vasilyev
