S1mple Announces Departure from Natus Vincere's Starting Lineup for a Well-Deserved Break

In a surprising turn of events, Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev has confirmed his departure from Natus Vincere's starting CS:GO lineup, as he announced the need for a break on October 26th. While he remains open to offers from other teams, it appears unlikely that the CS:GO GOAT will make an immediate return to competitive play in the forthcoming tournaments of the new game.

The Ukrainian sensation shared with his fans that he is taking time off to attend to various personal matters, including the need to "fix documents" and care for the well-being of others in his life. This revelation comes on the heels of HLTV's report suggesting that NAVI is in the process of signing Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov as s1mple's replacement in the lineup.

Despite s1mple's assurance that he had never contemplated leaving NAVI, he also acknowledged that he finds the prospect of entertaining offers from other esports organizations intriguing. Additionally, s1mple has hinted at a potential shift in his playing role, considering transitioning from the AWP, a weapon he has excelled with in CS:GO, to becoming a primary rifler. His reasoning behind this potential change stems from his belief that the sniper rifle may not have the same level of impact in the new CS2
