I Guess We Won't Be Playing Like S1mple Anymore

[@lyh0619]

$149 gets you s1mple aimlessly noclipping around a map saying "buy zis, peek like zis, aim like zis, then your teammates will do zis"

[@jnure9]

Broo😂

[@MentodayAt]

This is too accurate of a description.

[@k0nd3k]

i paid $149 for zis

[@thonkk]

Watched the first free course. S1mple literally just went into an empty server, threw some basic utility, barely explained anything and clearly had no script or plan once they pressed record. The set was cool though.

[@ty-byre]

This is just sad. For the best player of all time to go out like this is truly disheartening.

[@thejoe9065]

It was clear from the first moment its some money grab or whatever. He talked avout it way before may and whenever he talked about it it was fkn obvious he had no idea what it actually is supposed to be. Either ppl convinced him and used him and hes clueless or hes in on it. (Hes in on it, s1mple is a good cs player but an avrg human being (trash).

[@HaasTheFirst]

Agreed. Also you could argue if not for the war he would still be on his bs. Navi was well on its way to form a true era.

[@TeemuSintonen]

Time flew by s1mple and the whole scene moved on.

[@MBorgC]

[@Zonalar]

Watching Richard and Thorin talk about s1mple, it was immediatly obvious that out of all the cs pro players out there, teaching is a skill S1mple does not possess. you have great players, but only a few are great teachers too.

[@slonkijippie]

You could figure that out by yourself..

[@ShakeITyEA]

s1mple wont be returning to the scene or reach his form again, will he

[@downnnnnn]

S1mple hasn’t had his peak form since the first half of 22, there’s no way his form ever comes back

[@bjorkmgork]

they rarely do

[@BURRDAWG_]

dont blame him. cs2 is trash

[@darbstre2900]

Bro it has nothing to do with the state of cs. His homeland is at war with a major power… you guys need to understand he’s done everything. His family is more important for the time being

[@Loxly-ti4sq]

@@darbstre2900 his family moved over to another country not long after, this excuse has expired since like late 2022. If b1t can compete and is still winning, what's the excuse for s1mple? he's not even grinding anymore in FPL. Just admit that he lost passion for this game, i can see he's coming back but it's unlikely he's gonna be top 3 in the future.

[@grandmasteryoda503]

[@retardno002]

Yeah, we should take the hint and stop playing this crap until they fix it (remove sub-tick and actually install 128 servers because the movement and spray issues are built into the way sub-tick works).

[@1cedcoffee]

with this take i realize the bar is in hell, but honestly though credit to s1mple for actually giving out refunds. that's something that doesn't really happen nowadays, even if a product is - for lack of a better term - an "accidental scam"

[@FirstNameLastName-yv2wb]

Source on S1mple having anything to do with the refunds? Isn't this run by ESL/FaceIt?

[@PERPowns]

@@FirstNameLastName-yv2wb you are correct. s1mple has nothing to do with refunds.

[@Zonalar]

[@seiaghen]

a good move from s1mple would be to put his course on his youtube now

[@PERPowns]

I know s1mple had other stuff going on besides being sad at cs2 but he really fucked his career away. I'm sure he'll have other opportunities to make a living but he has always been his own worst enemy.

[@scouthatesrainbows]

You got decent setups and guides by dudes like Nart, Voo, Fl0m, fuck it even warowl's stuff still holds up to a certain extent, Austin, and even tier 1 pros like Karrigan, Styko, Jame and fucking ELIGE giving out plenty of content and guides, FOR FREE. Especially someone like Elige, who is both a fantastic player in his own right while also being a great explainer and teacher. S1mple's project was always doomed to fail even if it was actually what was promised, because there's just so much good free shit out there. Doesn't help that s1mple isn't exactly the most eloquent English speaker and was an absolute freak of nature in his play that makes the concept of him giving advice feel unrealistic/ surface level.

[@flushed3601]

it was so shit how did no one around him say anything

[@erichardca]

He doesn’t come across as the kind of guy to listen to criticism

[@888brownies]

@@erichardcawhy you bully me

[@coooolibri]

bro, he was the goat. people would stand for his name for years, and still its too much imo. he had a great chance to really make a product people willingly and happily pay for. but the gasping during one lesson like he doesnt even wanna be there. unstructured lessons, and shitting on his mates in a team he played one event for. making things up, like them losing a round cause a boost didnt work. LIKE he would have killed them all in that situation even if the boost worked out. like how you make a 100 euro course, and shit on your past teammates^^

[@kirkoids]

The biggest scandal is that promo picture of him

[@lucianleahu3836]

sounds like pump and dump

[@flowerDance2112]

It is truly sad that someone like s1mple, who said that this was going to be such a big thing, even using the first major of the year to advertise his course to be such underwhelming and fraud-like. How long has it been since he said he was working on "something big" before announcing it. Unfortunately, this had nothing to do with what is going on in his country but his own greed.

[@arctangent3533]

Shaquille O'Neal was a fantastic basketball player, but if I were an aspiring basketball player I probably wouldn't benefit that much from lessons from him, same concept applies here.

The almost immediate downfall of s1mple after the war in his home country has been nothing short of heartbreaking. I feel like I watched a guy finally break through and change and then almost immediately regress into the worst aspects of his personality, all while in the limelight.

[@mw7492]

Average players can learn more just by watching tournaments and streamers and nade lineups on youtube. Or better yet quit wasting your life and actually do something productive.

I think the biggest issue with simple making guides, is that he is doing them in English while he can barely speak and understand English himself. I am sure if he did it in Russian it would be worth listening to.

[@AnirudhTammireddy]

How to play CS2: 1. Stop playing the game. 2. Uninstall the game. 3. Ask volvo for the $15 refund for removing CSGO (I think it should be illegal) s1mple was truly ahead of our time in this course. Historians will look back at this and realise it. Hope his break/retirement is peaceful.
