The e-athlete s1mple is one of the most successful players in the history of Counter-Strike, but he is also sure that he would be good at other shooters too.

Who is the person you are talking about?

  • Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyljev is considered one of the best Counter-Strike players of all time.
  • The 26-year-old Ukrainian has been active in his career for e-sports organizations such as HellRaisers, FlipSid3 Tactics and Team Liquid.
  • s1mple reached his career highlight at NaVi, for whom he played between 2016 and 2023.
  • With NaVi, s1mple was able to win some highly prized tournaments – especially the Intel Grand Slam in September 2021 and the PGL Major in Stockholm a few months later.
  • For his achievements in various competitions, s1mple was named the best player of 2018, 2021 and 2022 and was also a title contender in 2019 and 2020.

    • In an interview with Counter-Strike caster Duncan “Thorin” Shields, s1mple said he believes his skills could also be transferred to other shooters such as Call of Duty: Warzone.

    “I feel like I know more about this game”

    What exactly does s1mple say? In an interview on YouTube, Thorin asked whether “G2 Esports” pro Nikola “NiKo” Kovač could be CS:GO’s best player of all time. s1mple then talked about his own skills in shooters.

    Accordingly, s1mple would be better than NiKo if the AWP were removed from Counter-Strike, says the Ukrainian. Because he plays better with fully automatic rifles than his competitor.

    In general, he has a better understanding of Counter-Strike, of all shooters and can even do damage in games like CoD: Warzone:

    I know my power. I feel like I know more about this game, or any other FPS game. Even when I play Warzone now, I know I can do a lot of damage.

    However, s1mple is currently taking a break from Counter-Strike. The 26-year-old announced in October 2023 that he would first have to take care of a few people in his life and get a few documents in order.

    In CS:GO, s1mple has over 23,000 hours of play – this does not include the time he spent traveling to tournaments or working with advertising partners:
