In a recent broadcast, the legendary CS: Go Oleksandr "S1Mple" Kostyliev suddenly shared about the possibility of returning to professional competition in the Counter-Strike 2 game. Up to the present time, S1Mple has only participated in 9 CS2 matches for nearly two years.

Dubbed as the greatest CS: GO player of all time, S1Mple has affirmed its name with a series of titles with Natus Vincere (Navi), thanks to the superior personal skills and stable performance. However, since the end of 2023, he has withdrawn from professional tournaments, leaving a large space in the hearts of fans.

During the conversation with Streamer Evelone on the Twitch platform, the S1Mple revealed: "I get a few offers, like asking for a contract. My transfer value is also decreasing over time.

This sharing caused the online community to raise many rumors that the S1Mple is seriously considering re -exporting when the contract with Navi will expire this year. Earlier, when asked about the ability to retire to become a full -time streamer, the S1Mple frankly denied it. This strengthened the belief that he returned to Navi's main squad - or even joined a new team - was completely feasible in 2025.

It is known that the S1Mple officially stopped playing since Navi's 0-3 defeat against Mouz at the ESL Pro League Season 18 final. In 2024, he had twice wearing Falcons in the form of loan but did not achieve the expected results.

Currently, a large part of Navi fans are expecting S1Mple to return to replace the young Awper W0nderful. However, there are also many concerns that after a long time of absence and not really familiar with the CS2, S1Mple competition environment may have difficulty regaining the peak performance - not even surpassing young compatriots as the main gunner.

In any case, the name of S1matle is always the focus of every discussion in the CS2 community, and his return to play will surely "stir" the fans in the near future.
