S1mple is Back With Team Falcons in the CS2 Scene

As a long-time fan of CS:GO and a witness to s1mple’s incredible journey, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement as the GOAT of CS returns to the competitive scene! After a year-long hiatus, s1mple has signed a three-month loan contract with Team Falcons, and I couldn’t be happier. With the Shanghai Major just around the corner, it feels like we’re on the cusp of witnessing something truly magical.

Alexander “s1mple” Kostyliev, frequently known as the “CS:GO Greatest of All Time,” has agreed to a three-month temporary deal with Team Falcons, a Saudi Arabian esports team. After being away from competitive play for a year, this move marks his return… A picture of him holding a symbolic GOAT figure was shared by Team Falcons on social media to announce the news.

The Greatest to Ever Do It

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got some exciting news about the Perfect World Shanghai Major! This epic Counter-Strike 2 tournament is set to unfold from late November until mid-December, marking one of the grandest events on our gaming calendar. The prize pool? A staggering $1.25 million!

On social media, s1mple wrote:

It’s time for me to return to LAN, which has been my objective since the start – to participate in the Shanghai Major! I’m really excited that we’ll be able to compete officially before addressing any issues and playing the main event of this year!

Approximately a year ago, s1mple expressed that he wouldn’t be participating in Counter-Strike 2 due to personal responsibilities such as looking after loved ones and managing paperwork. He didn’t provide any further details, but it appears that he hasn’t enjoyed playing CS:2 since its launch a year ago, which may have been a significant reason for his absence from active competition.

I’ve been eagerly waiting for this moment, and it seems like it’s not too far off now. I’ll soon be seeing s1mple returning to the stage, a place that truly suits him.

The legendary player, S1mple, is coming back to play with us for a span of three months on loan! 🦅⚡ It’s time to reach new heights! #FalconsAreHere

He’s among the most legendary and recognizable professional players in Counter-Strike game history, and given his passionate fan base, he’ll undoubtedly have a loud cheering section when he competes, regardless of the fact that he represents Team Falcons, a team that has gained prominence in recent times due to the Esports World Cup.
