Problem Statement

ω\omega is circumcirlce of triangle ABCABC. We draw a line parallel to BCBC that intersects AB,ACAB,AC at E,FE,F and intersects ω\omega at U,VU,V. Assume that MM is midpoint of BCBC. Let ω\omega' be circumcircle of UMVUMV. We know that R(ABC)=R(UMV)R(ABC)=R(UMV). MEME and ω\omega' intersect at TT, and FTFT intersects ω\omega' at SS. Prove that EFEF is tangent to circumcircle of MCSMCS.
