s1mple CSGO, an Overview of the Legend Himself

[nodelistverdant]

One might argue that s1mple has been the single best player to ever touch Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. From 2014 onwards the legendary player has constantly defied expectations and destroyed virtually every opposition in the game. But his personal history in CS:GO is far from perfect.

A Rocky Start

Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev began his CS:GO career in 2013. Under various amateur teams, he began making international headlines and showing potential. This led to him being signed by HellRaisers in late 2014. Unfortunately, an earlier cheating ban prohibited him from playing in ESL-organized events and with both Majors in 2015 being presented by ESL, HellRaisers had to let the young talent go. Often times, internal issues were cited and behind the scenes, everybody knew that this was down to his difficult personality. A prominent CS:GO analyst, Duncan “Thorin” Shields, even penned a lengthy personal letter to s1mple. In it, he explained what it would take for him to finally not get booted from his teams.

His time at HellRaisers would remain his only professional stint, until FlipSid3 Tactics finally came around to giving him another chance in early 2015. At ESWC 2015, one of their players was unable to attend due to visa issues, forcing the team to look for a substitute. They found a replacement in North American player Spencer “Hiko” Martin, on very short notice. The team performed decently well and made it into the Semi-Finals of the event. Here, s1mple and Hiko had their first team experience together. However, s1mple was once again let go. The rest of the team wanted him gone, so much so that they didn’t even care how much of their recent success could be attributed to him.
