Counter-Strike 2 superstar Oleksandr ‘s1mple’ Kostyljev says lifestyle changes have helped revive his esports career.
The Ukrainian is considered by many to be the greatest Counter-Strike player ever.
S1mple took a break from competitive play for over a year, saying he wanted “to fix documents and take care of other people in my life.”
Now, he is back to competing at the top of CS2 while on loan with FaZe Clan at the Blast Austin Major 2025.
