#4 TACO - $713,000

With Epitácio "TACO" de Melo starts a monotony on the list which you will catch up on as we progress. Benefiting from the boom of E-Sports in the mid-2010s, TACO and his Brazilian squad dominated the CS:GO scene for nearly 2 years.

Winning almost every big tournament from late 2015 to early 2017, his team won 2 back to back majors as well. Firstly, as part of Luminosity Gaming, TACO won the MLG Columbus 2016 and then won the ESL One Cologne 2016 as part of SK Gaming taking $500,000 home each time.

TACO was picked up by FalleN early in his pro career, he formed the core of the Brazilian squad that would define an era of Counter-Strike. Recently, however, TACO was the first member to leave the team owing to its poor performances in recent tournaments.

With teams consisting of superstar players becoming a thing with the advent of FaZe, TACO has options wide open for his future and very well might go on to break the $1 million barrier.
