Video: s1mple - MVP of StarLadder CIS RMR

Watch a highlight reel of Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev's best moments from his MVP-worthy performance at StarLadder CIS RMR.

s1mple earned last weekend his third MVP award of the year following a string of impressive performances in Natus Vincere's first-place finish in the CIS RMR tournament. The Ukrainian superstar stood head and shoulders above his tournament competitors, posting a remarkable 1.35 average rating across 23 maps. The 23-year-old was also the joint-best performing player in the best-of-five final against Gambit with a 1.24 rating.

s1mple now boasts three MVP accolades in 2021

Besides his outstanding consistency, s1mple concluded the RMR event at the top of the leaderboard in ADR (89), KPR (0.85), 1+ kill rounds (53.4%), KAST (76.6%) and impact rating (1.42), among other categories.

Click play below to watch the highlight video put together by Filip "filq" Szatkowski in commemoration of s1mple's third MVP award of 2021.

He actually makes so many of his highlights appear so easy, yet they are so incredibly difficult to actually pull off. GGWP!

Yeah, I'm indeed a fan of at least 30 amazing players and teams from all over the world, who are all listed on my profile. And yeah, s1mple is also one of my flairs! I have followed his career ever since ESL One Cologne 2016, and it's a strong personal opinion of mine that he is one of the best players of all time! Though I have grown weary of his fanbase at times, it doesn't change my opinion of him as a player. PS: Apologies for replying so late. I am really caught up with work nowadays. I just hope to catch perhaps the first map or two of Liquid vs NiP match-up, before I go to sleep :D. I have a feeling it's gonna deliver!!! Have a nice day :)

I like s1mple and he is a world class player. But the way zywoo joined the t1 stage and dominating it in such an impressive way from day 1 he arrived is not normal... Zywoo joined t1 Stage with an age of 18. became in his first two years no.1 Player. (Within competating s1mple in his prime as a rookie!) At this Point simple was in the same age and he got no. 8 and no.4. also an amazing performance, but not as much impressive as zywoo's.

S1mple has had better career than zywoo. Zywoo has to play 4-5 more years on same level as simpledid and is still keep going. S1mple 2021 stats better. All time stats ofc are lover bc he has played many many more games.

GOAT? Not even close, maybe the best of this era but not the best of all times. You have to win Majors before you can be considered a GOAT, end of story.

You are braindead. It's greatest player of all time, not greatest team. Winning a major is team based, no player can win a major by himself. Zywoo is the greatest player to ever touch CS, period

I'm not a s1mple fan but as it looks right now s1mple is a good path to becoming top-1 player this year. Depends a lot how Gambit will perform the rest of the year. zywoo and Vitality has to step up so much from now on that it seems unlikely that zywoo is any contender, maybe top-3-4 or so possible for him.

Nothing more to say. The best for 4 years. S1mple - CSGO is so much more fun with you on board. Without you many fans would leave for other games.

If there’s one thing I know for sure it’s that a s1mple mvp video will never be a video full of boring frags. I’ve seen some not so great mvp videos for other players. S1mple always delivers the entertainment
