S1mple, the legendary CS:GO pro, is eager to showcase his skills on the soccer field in the next Sidemen Charity Match. He aims to prove that he’s just as talented with his feet as he is with a mouse and keyboard.
After witnessing the fifth edition of the Sidemen Charity Match, which featured popular content creators like Mr. Beast and xQc, S1mple expressed his desire to participate. In the 2023 match, Sidemen FC triumphed over YouTube All-Stars with an 8-5 victory, partly due to xQc’s struggles as a goalkeeper. S1mple believes he can contribute two goals to the YouTube All-Stars team if given the opportunity.
On September 11, 2023, S1mple took to Twitter to express his interest, asking how he could secure an invitation to the next Sidemen Charity Match. His request has sparked excitement among fans and raised the possibility of seeing the Ukrainian superstar in action on the soccer field.
The 2023 Sidemen Charity Match was a resounding success, attracting over 2.7 million concurrent viewers and surpassing the previous year’s record. The event raised more than $3 million for charity, and donations are still being accepted.
While it remains uncertain whether S1mple will be invited to the 2024 edition of the Sidemen Charity Match, former CS:GO pro turned analyst Jacob “Pimp” Winneche has proposed organizing a similar event in Europe. Pimp suggests a showdown between Team S1mple and Team pashaBiceps, involving 26 players, autograph sessions, and a stadium filled with enthusiastic fans. This concept has been successfully executed before, as SK Gaming and Virtus Pro faced off in a soccer match in 2017.
The SK squad, featuring FalleN, coldzera, and fer, emerged victorious with a 5-4 scoreline, thanks in part to their co-founder Benjamin “Kane” Reichert, who had a background in professional soccer. Pimp’s idea has generated excitement within the Counter-Strike community, and fans are eager to witness such an event come to fruition.
