The CS:GO community woke up to a surprising announcement today as the world’s best player, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, revealed his decision to take a break from professional play. This unexpected news has sparked a flurry of reactions and speculations within the community.
s1mple’s hiatus is expected to have a significant impact on the CS:GO esports scene, leading to potential player shuffles and changes. Fans were initially skeptical, hoping that the announcement was a joke, but soon flooded social media with messages of support and well-wishes for s1mple’s temporary departure.
In his tweet, s1mple mentioned the possibility of joining another organization, which surprised many fans. The idea of him leaving Natus Vincere, a team he has become synonymous with, has left the community in awe and speculation about potential suitors for the talented player.
The Falcons organization, backed by Saudi investors, emerged as a popular suggestion among fans, especially considering recent rumors surrounding other top players and the PIF-sponsored org. This timing couldn’t be more perfect for those hoping to see s1mple in a new jersey.
Another unfortunate consequence of s1mple’s decision is the impact on Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen, who recently joined NAVI as the team’s in-game leader. With s1mple’s departure, Virolainen’s plans and expectations for the team have been disrupted after just four months and a limited number of matches together.
The CS:GO community, including esports talents like Moses and Banks, expressed their support for s1mple during his time off. They eagerly await his return and wish him the best in his personal endeavors.
At present, s1mple has not disclosed the duration of his break. The community anxiously awaits the day he reveals which team he will join upon his return.
