Oleksii Kostyliev, former host of NAVI, recently shared insights into the personality of his brother, the renowned CS2 star, Oleksandr 's1mple' Kostyliev. According to Oleksii, s1mple is known for his relentless drive to win, whether it be in a high-stakes tournament or a casual game of Dota 2. These revelations were made during a candid discussion on the Lights App podcast.
Earlier, s1mple made a notable appearance in a Valorant showmatch held in China. In a thrilling display of skill and precision, he took on local influencers and esports stars in front of an enthusiastic crowd. Despite the recent focus on CS2 with Falcons, s1mple showcased his exceptional prowess by securing an impressive 18 kills in the MR12 game, ultimately leading his team to victory.
As speculation looms over s1mple's future, uncertainties arise following the Falcons' decision not to extend his loan. Potential challenges may emerge regarding the financial implications of his contract when seeking a new team. The exact expiry date of his contract with NAVI in 2025 remains ambiguous, raising questions about the potential buyout cost should the star AWPer opt for a new competitive venture. Notably, s1mple himself has acknowledged that the substantial price tag associated with his contract has posed a significant hurdle in his previous endeavors to re-enter the professional gaming scene.
