Will s1mple improve Falcons? G2 first trophy with Snax | HLTV Confirmed S7E2

Skinionaire just doesn't hit the same without the music and sound FX.

[@스페이스엑스-f9c]

if there is anyone in cs that exceeded my expectation the most is s1mple. While it is logical to think that after a long break its hard to compete for #1 but again it is s1mple so if he does comes back n show his old form in few months i wouldnt be suprised.

Imagine how motivated you must be to be w0nderful, always knowing there's s1mple on the bench to replace you if you start to suck.

[@bobicramza4158]

@@cocrush8470 nah it was b1ad3 and their ceo choice s1mple back or not also s1mple is big part of navi no other player can decide s1mple fate , you know s1mple can decide to kick the player like sdy flamie zeus edward last time

​@@cocrush8470 probably, but also it would be silly to replace a player in a team who won the major and have been dominant and consistently top 3 since.

[@krypt1ccc739]

prof is kinda off the mark, there were many hints that s1mple wanted to come back and play but he couldn't because of Navi's success and his insane buyout for any other team. He wanted to play and has the drive but logistically couldn't. His telegram messages show he wants to be the best when he comes back, do I actually believe he'll be the best? Not sure, but I think he'll be top 5.

[@anything3068]

More like top 8

[@benjaminscott3368]

“Sasha needs Navi, but Navi doesn’t need s1mple”

[@Pyxyty]

Top 5 will probably be something like Zywoo, Ilya, Donk, Niko, jL, I don't see Sasha being better than any of those 5 tbh

[@Djinigami]

@@Pyxyty This year for sure not, unless Falcons wins the major ig. But generally, i also feel inclined to say that s1mple could be top 5 if not top 3 again, maybe next year

[@jakeezetci]

then why his faceit activity was so low he wanted to play, had no official or praccs but never tried to even play faceit?

[@lch2195]

The layoff of sunpayus most probably was to make way for m0nesy in future.

[@lucid746]

Actually so incorrect about NAVI its crazy. Like do they have to cure cancer to be properly estimated?

[@elizabethmurigi1131]

I also don't know why anyone would think NaVi isn't the clear no. 1 at this point in time.

[@sentryion3106]

There might be questions post major but ever since the player break anyone who doesnt put navi as clear No 1 is blind. Granted Vitality and G2 are close enough that Navi isn't unstoppable, but i would put higher odds of them winning against any other teams.

[@BraindeadMedic]

I mean G2 win was fluke, maybe 3# team now but how long?

[@_Stargazer_.]

S1mple is known for bossing around his teammates & losing his temper on them . And Niko comes across as a guy who would not take shit from anyone . If it happens , it would be really interesting to see what happens.

[@ponyboygolden963]

The thing Is I always feel like he's a different person with fellow big stars or just people who he respects in the server. Like in liquid he always had Hikos back and from what I've heard him amd Niko always have gotten along very well. I think he's just so talented and so far from separated from the rest of his peers in the pro scene that it seems that he struggles not holding his teammates to his same standards that when they inevitably disappoint him he chalks it up to them being incompetent. I don't think he'll have that issue with Niko. Also, just side note it's shocking to see so many wrote simple off. Yeah he's been on quite the break but he was sooooo good and for so long and quite literally regularly made the impossible possible so I will not be surprised at all if he finds his form again

[@lukaslillestl-brandlistuen7269]

S1mple respects great players like electronic and monesy(in faceit). I don't think he would ever doubt what niko does in the game.

[@lohvrti]

Niko is notoriously controlling and arrogant, both as a player and as a person (from what I've heard from several different pros & personalities). Will be interesting if they aren't winning.

Please please base your ranking at the end of the year based on number of MVPs and EVPs. Prioritize it over Ratings2.0 . The rating system is fine but it's heavily biased against entry fraggers and in favor of stat padders and group stage merchants. Sh1ro must not be placed above JL,Broky,B1t who has 2,1,1 MVPs but lower ratings.

thing is not like S1mple has been completely offline he has played face it with the tier 1's on CS2 plenty of times and fragged out now he has a reason to grind the game i would not be surprized if he comes back with a boom in 6 months we will see if this has aged poorly

[@Valinorzx]

the only people who think s1mple wouldn't be good in cs2 are either haters or stupid. He will go down in CS history, hell he already is. He will easily will be a top 5 awper after warming up for a few months.

[@itzgin3290]

Good things from snax? GL's T sides were AWFUL when he was their IGL, he's had massive help in G2 from the coach most likely and niko himself...plus having monesy/niko/malbs kind of helps A LOT.

[@lohvrti]

Agree, but also if it's working (and consider how long they've put up with average IGLs) then I don't think it'll change.

[@NikosKalantasTouKabourdirhTouK]

He is really good, however he is even more overrated than he should. The old navi with boombl4, flamez and electronic could have succeeded even with a worse awper. That is even when b1t joined. The break can affect someone negatively, but not in a degree that he cannot be the same again. We are talking about cs, not football where an injury can destroy your career. And of course, he is inactive from official games, not from cs. Everyday he plays cs2 for several hours on a very high level, so its not even a "break". Many people think he is the best, however lets see how he performs now that he will be in the same team with people with double the majors he has and if they accept to get baited like the navi did... Also, dont forget that he was banned in 1.6 for cheating and everyone considers him a star as if nothing happened.

Yeah, that's what I expect as well. Also, nobody understands why Navi doesn't want him back in the team. He is not a good teammate. Never was and never will be. Several of his old teammates said so. He gets upset and blames others very quickly, and he is quite toxic. With the new version of the game, lots has changed and I don't think he can compete with the likes of Zywoo or Monesey.

[@lucasmcnamee3658]

Navi are the best team in the world and there is no question. They are just bad in bo5. If youre unsure look how many times in 2024 they lost a bo3 in playoffs. You know the answer? 0

@@lucasmcnamee3658 if you participated in a high competitive level, you would understand that a team must stay focused until the end.

Then aleksib says in the interview "we lost because we are bad at bo5", how this would sound to you? If a team cant win 1 more map with all the psychological pressure the other team has, then they have to work in their team mentality. Its like saying "there are good teams in the first half of a football gzme or in tje second half". What matters is who scores more goals, points (or maps in cs).

@@NikosKalantasTouKabourdirhTouK Oh i agree that its not an excuse. I am just saying that 90% of games are bo3 and the major final is bo3 so given their bo3 record they are insanely good rn. They need to get better in bo5 but you dont really get to practice that outside of big event grand finals. I think it is a pressure thing, similar to old astralis with semi finals and such. It is their biggest road block rn but people are seemingly ignoring their performance except for bo5 and saying "well they wont make it back to finals now" which I think is crazy talk. They just dont perform rn in bo5. That isnt me saying, just ignore that, what i am saying is they will continue to be in finals because the road to finals is always bo3
