Sources: s1mple to join Falcons on loan

SunPayus will be moved to the bench for the Ukrainian AWPer's return.

s1mple will play the Shanghai Major's RMR with Falcons

Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev is set to make a return to the server after a year of inactivity, HLTV has learned, when he joins Falcons on a loan deal.

Falcons' head coach Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen spoke of the need to make changes the moment after his team was eliminated from the Fall Final, and the first change is set to arrive with immediate effect.

The move was in the making for at least over a week, however, since s1mple was added as a substitute to Falcons' PW Shanghai Major Europe RMR roster before the lock on September 22.

s1mple will take the place of Álvaro "⁠SunPayus⁠" García in the starting five. The Spaniard, sixth in last year's Top 20 Players of the Year awards, struggled at the onset of CS2, but has been on the mend and has a 1.13 rating while in Falcons, only 0.01 off from his time in ENCE.

Falcons have had only one good Big Event finish this year, making the semi-finals at IEM Katowice in February right after coming to life in the winter off-season, but have not been anywhere near replicating that success since.

More worryingly, Falcons have not been capable of showing signs of improvement, even after the addition of Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen in March, with a slew of group-stage exits.

s1mple's form is a big unknown ahead of his return. A three-time Player of the Year and runner-up on another two occasions, the Ukrainian star is a generational talent, but he has been away from the game since CS2 came out a year ago and has only recorded one official match while standing in for Falcons in a 1-2 loss to Metizport.

Falcons will be:

Denmark Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer
Denmark Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen
Denmark Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif
Montenegro Pavle "⁠Maden⁠" Bošković
Ukraine Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev (loan)

Denmark Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen (coach)

Spain Álvaro "⁠SunPayus⁠" García (benched)

I guess they didn't learn their lesson from the last time. Even though S1mple played only 1 game with Falcons I think it should be enough to understand it's not the best decision.

Good point actually. I didn't think about that. However, S1mple joining Falcons won't change anything anyway I think. Another desperate attempt from management to fix the team that was destined to be a failure from the start

there is no way s1mple in is the only change there is for falcons, they probably gonna just keep magisk, maybe dupreeh? Or snappi? And rebuild the rest.

"their only good player" their statspadder, you mean. sunpayus has ZERO IMPACT in falcons. he was a good awper in ence in CSGO with some impactful rounds. on falcons in CS2 he is just doing the bare minimum and collecting the highest rating on the team for free by saving and hitting some sitters. there's a reason awpers are EXPECTED to get a higher rating than anyone else on a team.

I hope not as he deserves a top team spot. HLTV 6th best player of 2023 shouldn't be dropping into teams not competing in S-tier tournaments, he's way too talented for that. I wonder if he can speak Portuguese?.. would give him some great SA options. Hate to say it but he would be a monster playing for Complexity and get invited to all the big tournaments.

So I am starting to get a feel for why Falcons are failing and it seems to be pretty similar to what C9 went through. Upper management is making decisions instead of competent people and those who are more in line with what's working right now. S1mple was there on loan and was booted after one game, cause he was bad and toxic. This is just a move to put eyes on Falcons, to show how much money they can spend. Because this loan has to be more expensive than most transfers are and it's a waste of everyone's time (at least competition wise, I am sure Navi and s1mple love the monetary part of it). We all know next tournament EVERYONE will be looking at Falcons. So this is just a PR/marketing move more than a reasonable move.

it just feels like the owners of Falcons are like kids wanting to have a new and better toys all the time. "Lets sign this guy, than that guy, I heard about him too, he had nice highlights". Just a football manager style, where you want to put the biggest names into one team without looking at any context. PR could be another thing, agreed on that one.

well in 2022 this would be a ridiculous move having dupreeh, magisk s1mple AND niko in the same team. But now i can only assume that sunpauys found a better team and he wants to move and the arabs are getting s1mple from retirement to sell tickets. Similar to what they are doing in football where they get 36 yo former great players to play there.

The original plan was for s1mple to come back to the team after the major. When they won it, his return was delayed, probably to see what happens with iM. Now that iM has started putting up the numbers and Na'Vi is winning shit, s1mple return wouldn't make sense anymore.

I mean nobody is denying that the major run made NaVi different ,because in everybody's books everyone had -iM +s1mple after the major, but the Win delayed everything as u said, and somehow he managed to get back somewhat in form also doesnt help s1mple, but the fact they're not even willing to take him as a Emergency sub incase of illness thats crazy for me.

They also desperately need a new igl who is (among other things) better at fragging but I really don’t know who they could go for. Maybe twistzz igl and naf could work so that the team is: magisk, maden, twistzz, naf and s1mple. Obviously that won’t happen though.

Nice one, bench your only good player for someone who has never played CS2 professionaly. Atleast SunPayas can save KOI (not cope)

Sunpayus was absolutely not the problem, so: s1mple is going to join a dysfunctional team, it's not going to work, he's going to get frustrated, be toxic, it's going to go badly with Zonic and Magisk (who has a very frank personality and says openly what doesn't suit him, even if it means displeasing the others). I can't wait, potentially another masterclass by Falcons management

As an awper Sunpayus has been Falcons best rifler and highest rated player. Definitely wasn’t the problem. Side note: happy to see s1mple back though

The real question is whether or not they pick up a 3rd new player after NiKo

I could maybe understand this move if SunPayus was the problem, but he is not. So even if s1mple magically got back near his prime level, how is it going to help them when the rest of the team is not working? But also, wtf is s1mple doing, he is already set for life, why chase money, why not join a team that could actually accomplish something

You have to be kidding me ? Sunpayus was literally not an issue , he did pretty well as awper... Kick someone else and put s1mple as rifler + secondary awper as he's nowhere close to good form based on his stream , even woxic wins aim duels against s1mple.. I legit feel that nip management also runs falcons management..

Remove the best player on the team (bar magisk) for a player unproven in tier 1 CS of CS2? I'm assuming it was because of roles and I'm thrilled to see s1mple play again... I just don't know whether Falcon's is at right now. EDIT: Forgot a word.

The only logical explanation to this I can come with is that Sunpayus wants to leave this clusterfuck of a team. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense whatsoever

So Falcons bench his best player
2024-09-27 12:38

The thing is, even if he does perform better than Sunpayus, Sunpayus was playing at the level where there won't be a ton of extra benefit unless Simple consistently puts up donk/Zywoo-tier numbers... which is a massive if. Overall, can Simple be an upgrade? Absolutely (although it's not a guarantee). Was Sunpayus the problem? No, and idk how much can Simple help if the rest of roster continues to play poorly. Although, again, it 100% isn't the last move (assuming this one becomes permanent)

Most people discussing changes they could make say everybody but Magisk is on the table. They have obviously decided to move on from Sunpayus for good. Simple may be temporary replacement, but this is just a signal that it isn't just a plug in Niko to 1 spot, it's a rebuild potentially from ground (the ground above Magisk head) up.
