The Ukrainian Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev (24) is considered the best player in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in the world. He has now offered Valve to make the first-person shooter better “for everyone”: not only for professionals like him, but also for casual gamers. He only asks a few million US dollars for this and the number of players would increase. CS:GO is already the biggest game on Steam.
Who is s1mple?
One of the best CS:GO players in the world is dubbed gloriously confused on Twitch
This is his message now: On August 9, s1mple wrote (via twitter):
Hey CS:GO, just give me a few million and I’ll make your game better, not only for professionals, but also for people who rarely log in and want to enjoy the game. I’m not kidding, at least your numbers will increase.
simple
He also criticized the devs for not even being able to fix the brightness bug in CS:GO.
CS:GO is the biggest game on Steam, but it rarely gets updates
What is special about his statement? CS:GO isn’t just any game, it’s the biggest game on Steam for many years.
Player numbers have long ranged from 500,000 to 600,000 players online on average. This makes the game even bigger than DOTA 2, the other all-time favorite on Steam.
CS:GO has been dominating Steam’s charts since PUBG’s popularity declined some time ago, despite the fact that the game was released back in August 2012.
How could he make the game better? s1mple does not reveal that. The info’s probably only when the dollars tumble into his account.
But despite CS:GO being such a hit, the game is consistently criticized for being relatively infrequently modified.
It is currently being criticized that the pool of maps has remained unchanged for a long time. The “Mirage” map in particular has been criticized because it is the only one in the official map pool that has not yet received a rework. Some professionals are therefore calling for the map to be replaced.
But s1mple is here on the dev side and says the map should stay in the game. People demanding their expulsion would have no idea about Counter-Strike. Because that is the best map to outdo opponents with superior play.
Players complain about bugs in CS:GO that have been annoying for a long time
s1mple apparently has other plans to improve CS:GO. In the comments, numerous bugs with sound or hit registration are listed, which are said to have plagued CS:GO for years.
It sure is an interesting experiment to see what would happen if you put a connoisseur like s1mple in charge of CS:GO.
A few months ago, s1mple lost one of its key players at Natus Vincere:
