S1mple Does Not Rule Out Valorant Switch

Aleksandr Kostyliev aka s1mple , widely recognized as the top CS:GO player in the world at the moment, has stated that he still has a few game objectives to complete before moving on to new adventures.

With five MVP medals to his credit this year, S1mple has been a step ahead of the competition, yet he still finds time to play ranked Valorant games, which he frequently streams. World-class players like s1mple could make more money in a single year if they switched to Valorant, according to Twitch star shroud who was himself a former CS:GO pro.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has lost a number of high-profile players to Valorant in the previous 18 months, with Nick ‘nitr0′ Cannella, Spencer ‘Hiko’ Martin, and Adil ‘ScreaM’ Benrlitom among those who have switched to Riot Games’ tactical shooter after finding success in CS:GO.

When asked if he sees himself playing competitive Valorant in the future, s1mple did not rule it out, but emphasized that he still has a long list of goals to complete first. Here’s what he stated; “I don’t know, maybe when I’m older. There are still a lot of things I need to win in Counter-Strike.”

One of s1mple’s ambitions in life is to win a CS:GO Major. NAVI are the clear favorites to win the PGL Major Stockholm, which takes place from October 26 to November 7, after a strong run in the build-up.

The CIS giants won IEM Cologne, the first major LAN since the start of the global health crisis, as well as ESL Pro League Season 14, earning $1 million in the process.
