S1mple Hints at Potential Comeback to Professional CS2

Esports player Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev has been considering offers to return to the professional Counter-Strike 2 scene.

In a statement, s1mple mentioned, “I don’t know when I will return to the pro scene. I have offers, some offers, something… The buyout price [from NAVI] decreases over time.”

S1mple stepped away from competitive play at the end of 2023 but remains under contract with Natus Vincere. In 2024, he played for Team Falcons as a stand-in and on loan. He has also previously discussed his plans to potentially stream CS2.
