Trivia[edit]
- He is from Recife, Pernambuco, the fourth-largest city in Brazil. [3]
- His nickname is a play on his first name, and most likely does not in fact refer to the Mexican dish; but rather to a nickname his aunt gave him when he was a child, because she never liked the name his parents gave him, "Epitácio".
- Was a founding board member of the Counter-Strike Professional Players' Association. [4]
