Iem Dallas 2025 closed on May 25 at Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, becoming one of the most attractive Counter-Strike 2 tournaments of the year with more than 16.7 million hours and peak 913,741 simultaneous views.

However, the surprise is that the final between Vitality and Mouz is not the most viewed event. Instead, the matches with the participation of S1Mple in the new FaZe Clan shirt are "the focal point of the communication" and attract a large number of fans.

🧨 The attraction from the comeback of S1Mple

After the vacation and the impressive performance in the team Falcons shirt in RMR in Europe at the end of 2024, S1Mple returned on the CS2 platform in the FAZE squad (replacing Broky) - a step that shocked the CS community.

"If FaZe goes to the playoffs, the tournament can break the viewer record."
