Video: s1mple - MVP of IEM Cologne 2022

23-7-2022 20:37

Take a look back at some of the best highlights from Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev's MVP-winning performance in Cologne in a fragmovie put together by Ayush "AwptiX" Kumar.

Despite ultimately falling short of the trophy, s1mple earned himself his 21st MVP medal overall, second of the year, and third all-time at Cologne by putting up a spectacular 1.25 rating throughout the event.

Apart from his stellar rating, s1mple had the best K-D difference (+95), kills per round (0.84), and most rounds with 1+ frags (55.1%), with high rankings in the clutches (2nd), total headshots (3rd), and opening kills (4th) categories further helping make his case for the MVP medal.

s1mple bagged his second MVP of the year in Cologne

Catch all of s1mple's highlights, including mind-blowing clutches and multi-kills against MOUZ, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Movistar Riders, as well as a plethora of notable plays in the thrilling grand final against FaZe.

What is the point of blame always beeing the last alive, picking up the anker scraps, but the team still loosing? Only good for adr - the guy is hopelessly average

Congratz to S1mple! But sad for Twistzzz, insane performance (sadly only in a final)

yeah he was the reason faze got a chance. But GG to Faze they deserved the win.

2022-07-23 20:39

yeah in final where it matters not just stocking up movie frags in group stage but losing in the end

You sound like S1mple got his MVP for nothing, check his stats this event please

2022-07-23 21:07

Agreed. Simple had an incredible tournament overall and no one can dispute this MVP award - truly deserved (even though he threw the medal away). Twist had a great series final. Not the tournament MVP though.

2022-07-23 22:31

Why couldn’t twistzz get movie frags? Because he’s a bot baiter

I'd like it if a player on the *winning* team gets the MVP award lol.

2022-07-23 21:06

Clearly you care enough to comment, plus I'd hope that IEM cares what their fans think about their process in deciding MVPs.

2022-07-23 21:47

Speaking of the last deag shot: pause just before it and press: , (comma: previous frame) or . (dot: next frame) - you'll see the shot wasn't even a HS but somehow connected. Maybe it's because the clip is only at 60fps and the server ran at 128 tick rate, so at the very least you need a 128fps video to see what was really happening there. @HLTV Is it possible to release a render at 120fps? 240fps? And distribute it e.g. via torrent or Google Drive?

2022-07-23 21:51

s1mple was never MVP

2022-07-23 21:50

aww butthurt FaZe fangirl maybe go spam Twitter for your bot players to actually try and work hard for an MVP instead of crying on HLTV like a 12 year old fangirl

2022-07-23 21:52

Not a FAZE fan but okay. Just a ROPZ and Twistzz fan. Happy for them two, not the whole team.

2022-07-24 10:16

Everone knows this.. even navi fans

2022-07-23 23:22

mvp but lost???? KKKKKKKK

Kids still dont get that the fact that s1mple gets an MVP even though his team lost is the prove of what the greatness truly is/means! Deserved!

2022-07-23 21:59

no sense but ok

2022-07-23 22:04

Agree with you. Do not unserstand by what rules/argumens he become. His team lost tournamen and stat where not the best after all tour.... Zywo and blameF had better stats in his event. But for some reaon didn`t got MPV. How should other players feel? It looks more like who ever made this decision were Simple fan boys...and how you can not give best ever in CSGO history player prize even then he lost :) but these MPV worth 0. CSGO is team game, and only tropthies mater. And main this it is bad for NAVI. Giving to Simple MPV after NAVI lost is like saying - Simple did all what he could, but his team not. Thats is very bad. thats why there should be 1 simple rule. Tournamen MVP only from tournament wining team.

2022-07-23 22:28

Hltv has always been bias of simple.

2022-07-23 23:21

always. they are known for boosting s1mples stats also to influence bettors. a youtuber did a 45 minute video of all the tournament stats and proved that hltv are putting up fake stats for simple.

2022-07-24 10:18

lmao you said that these MPVs are worthless but crying about the result from the beginning

2022-07-24 09:01

and what does it worth for player who just lost tournament? you thing Simple was very happy geting it? Yes it is worthless if MPV given to player who do not have best stats in tournament and did not won tournamen. Then it means its like giving that reward to any random player. this is not about that it was given to S1imple. It is about that it was given to player who did not had best stats in tournamen/ did not win tournamen. All sports have clear rules: Regula season MPV - best stats. Finals/tournament MVP - winer of finals/tournamen. Cristal clear, but then CSGO organizers do somthing, you allways have to ask WTF? :D

2022-07-24 14:06

the first two clips are crazy awp abuser is real

2022-07-23 23:20

nice video

2022-07-23 22:24

Undeserved tho

2022-07-23 22:39

nice compilation of his group stage frags! maybe show some of the highlights he had when his team actually needed him against an enemy that can actually beat navi?

2022-07-23 22:44

Your point? total 8 highlights used in this fragmovie, out of which 5 were against faze lmao

2022-07-23 22:53

He is not good enough for that. No show when needed the most and still mvp.. it’s a bad joke from hltv

should have made the video for twistzz instead, most undeserved mvp

2022-07-23 23:10

twistzz won them nuke and the final map by pushing solo into main. That was the MVP play of the whole tournament to me.

2022-07-24 01:05

Stolen from twistz

2022-07-23 23:19

he is damn good tbh

2022-07-24 00:15

Twistzz robbed.

2022-07-24 00:36

In really serious sports the MVP comes from the winning team!

2022-07-24 00:56

ask Messi lol. I think he was MVP in 2014 worldcup which is a huge joke if you look at the final where he completely disappeared.

2022-07-24 01:06

"ask messi" omg im dead ahahhahah

2022-07-24 10:35

Messi and s1mple both biggest robbers of their respective sports Messi 0 goals 1 assist (In r16 against switzerland) in the 4 knockout matches in ‘14 as Argentinas main star which everyone links up with (just like the rest of navi bait for p1mple and drop him hero guns) Yet somehow MVP just like p0mple meanwhile you had Kroos, Müller and Neuer with actual impact just like Twistzz and Rain at Cologne
