“Welcome Back King”: CS2 Fans Joyfully Celebrate s1mple’s Return with a Twist

The Counter-Strike sensation Oleksandr “s1mple”Kostyljev has made headlines with his recent announcement regarding his return to the CS2 pro scene, signing on a loan to Team Falcons. This official announcement has taken many fans by surprise, leaving them in awe of this unexpected development. Notably, s1mple will be joining the Team Falcons on a three-month loan rather than rejoining NAVI (Natus Vincere), suggesting a probable roster change after this period.

In response to the announcement, Saif-Eddine Miadi (@saif_4g), the Esports Content Specialist for Falcons Esports, shared his excitement, stating:

“Welcome back king!”

X user @gamechale expressed their excitement about s1mple’s return to the Counter-Strike pro scene, writing:

“FINALLY THE GOAT IS BACK”

Another fan, @Atompro34, expressed hopes for this Counter-Strike talent to become a permanent player for Team Falcons, rather than just being on loan:

“@Msdossary7 @_next @GrantRous @zonic @TrochuCS thank you so much guys for this and in future please my goat @s1mpleO make him permanent member of @FalconsEsport”

Following the original announcement, X user @HotBrainFreeze stated that they now have a reason to watch Team Falcon’s Counter-Strike matches.

Additionally, the well-known Counter-Strike betting platform, PLG.BET, reacted to the announcement, calling for a permanent partnership between NiKo and s1mple in Team Falcons.

Another fan, @MegaJano22 humorously suggested that s1mple might be compelled to play his often-banned map, Vertigo, once again:

“Are you gonna make him play his perma ban, Vertigo, again?”

CS2 Star s1mple Joins Team Falcons on Three-Month Loan

After a year of absence from the Counter-Strike 2 pro scene, the Ukrainian talent, s1mple, is making a much-anticipated return to the CS2 Esports league, albeit under unique circumstances. He will be participating with Team Falcons instead of NAVI, starting with a three-month loan. This arrangement might lead to s1mple rejoining NAVI’s active roster after the loan period concludes, provided he continues to compete in CS2.

While fans were eagerly waiting for the return of their star player, many did not foresee him joining Team Falcons as a loaned player. s1mple is expected to compete in the forthcoming CS2 Shanghai 2024 Major in November 2024, organized by Valve’s designated Chinese distributor, Perfect World.
