Thorin: By the end of the season we will know if s1mple can ever be a great player again

Counter-Strike 2 analyst Duncan Thorin Shields said that the upcoming season will be decisive for the career of BCGame player Alexander s1mple Kostylev. The caster shared his thoughts in a video for the Last Free Nation Counter-Strike YouTube channel.

Do you know why the appearance of such cool players as Senzu in BCGame, or a gambling move with Magisk is really cool? Because I can no longer justify s1mple's level of play. I still don't agree that he's bad in CS2. I think he never really dedicated himself to the game, didn't grind and try to become a better player. With the BCGame roster the way it is now, we'll know by the end of the season if s1mple can ever be a great player again. If this doesn't work out for him, they'll keep signing players, but eventually he'll just retire. I think he hasn't reached his potential yet. Do you know why I think he doesn't care about CS2? Have you ever noticed that the only matches where s1mple showed up were against teams like Vitality? Against the best teams. Matches like this force him to give his all. But his problem is that if BCGame is placed in a tournament with shitty teams, then it will lose without taking a single card. This season will end the s1mple drama. Either he will never return to that level or he will show signs of returning to being a top 10 player.

Previously, BCGame completed the Counter-Strike 2 roster. In the off-season, Azbayar Senzu Munkhbold, Emil Magisk Reif and Ayush mzinho Batbold joined the club. It is unknown at what tournament the updated roster will debut.
