Video: s1mple - HLTV MVP of IEM Cologne

20-7-2021 17:06

Relive Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev's best plays from IEM Cologne, including his four record-breaking aces, by watching our MVP fragmovie.

The Ukrainian superstar put up one of his best performances of all time at IEM Cologne, boasting a 1.51 rating across 14 maps played to claim the MVP award by HLTV and Bitskins.com - the 15th MVP of his career.

s1mple continues to amaze in 2021

Alongside the best rating at the LAN event (0.19 higher than the second-best player), s1mple was a standout in a number of different categories such as KPR, KAST, impact rating, ADR, and DPR, but also broke the record for most aces at a Big event by cleaning up four rounds single-handedly.

s1mple's penta kills against Renegades, Astralis, and G2 are all part of the fragmovie, which also includes explosive multikills and thrilling clutches he graced the viewers with during the first LAN event since March 2020.

Click play on the video below to see the plays that ensured s1mple's fourth MVP award of the year in a highlight movie made by Filip "filq" Szatkowski:

2021-07-20 17:34

That AWP play at 1:53 is the best even though it's not an ace. If it wasn't on LAN a lot of dorks would have accused him of cheating.

You are an ignorant if you think you can't cheat on LAN...inform yourself instead of waiting for others to spoonfeed you.

Dude, TO's allow private gear, which is practically the same as allowing people to cheat. This is public knowledge, but public knowledge which seemingly went straight over your head for whatever reason. I am not TO, I am not the one who leave the key in the front door, trusting they wont open it.

Do you even enjoy watching professional CS while being this cynical?

Not much TBH. Being left in the dark whether a player is legit or not isn't very pleasurable.

2021-07-20 18:13

What about professional sports? Do you apply the same logic there too?

2021-07-20 18:16

To some extent, but the advantages are way smaller than in esports. You can basically only fiddle with a players health, not with their shooting (football) abilities and so forth.

word.exe is the most primitive form of cheats. Modern cheats are waaaaay smarter than this. Even the aimlocks in 2015 were smarter.

Maybe that would be possible, but at a price very far from returnable. IE, it wouldn't pay off at all. You can't say that about CS.GO cheats. I love your pathetic attempt at sarcasm, easily countered with very simple logic.

2021-07-20 20:28

Except for the fact that you can't prove anyone's cheating. All of this is just speculation. And no one cars!

2021-07-20 20:58

True, but their legimaticy shouldn't be taken for granted, like everyone, including you does. They have fairly easy option to cheat to gain financial rewards. And it's even 100% legal. They can get sued for breach of contracts, but that's another story. But their criminal record will be 100% untouched no matter how much they cheat, and get caught. People risk way more for way less in other parts of life, but yet people hold these players to have a moral way above the average of other human beings? Why do you hold their moral to be this high?` My point with my "ramblings" is to make people understand that this scene is far from secure from cheating, and that security needs to be upped several levels to be anywhere close to that of the rest of society. Until that happens, anyone in the pro scene should be suspects, from the worst of players to s1mple.
