CSGO goat s1mple believes he would dominate Warzone if he wanted to \u2013 or any other FPS game ESL \/ ActivisionCS:GO\u2019s GOAT player, Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev, has said that due to his rare understanding of FPS games, he believes he would be the best in any game he chose, including Warzone and Call of Duty. s1mple is widely regarded as the best Counter-Strike player of all time, and dominated CS:GO for much of its decade-long run as an esport, before it was replaced by CS2 in 2023. The Ukranian has since taken a break from competing since the release of CS2, although still plays the game regularly on his stream. He also dabbles in other shooters, including Warzone. Speaking to journalist and content creator Duncan \u2018Thorin\u2019 Shields on his Reflections interview series, s1mple revealed that he believes his talent for FPS games would translate to other games, specifically Warzone, if he dedicated himself to it. s1mple\u2019s \u201cpower\u201d applies to any FPS game Thorin asked s1mple if fellow star player Niko \u2018Niko\u2018 Kovac could ever be considered the GOAT of CS:GO, given he primarily uses a rifle, and not the powerful AWP, like s1mple. But, s1mple said that if there was no AWP in CS, he still believes he would have been the best player with only a rifle, due to his \u201cpower\u201d in FPS games. \u201cI know my power,\u201d he said. \u201cI feel like I know more about this game, or any other FPS game. Even if I [went to] Warzone right now, I know that I will do a lot of damage.\u201d Topic starts at 36:00 \u201cTheres should be an understanding of the game, that\u2019s what every CS player needs to understand. The way how you read them, and the way how you put your crosshairs with angles, the way you hear sounds so your crosshair placement would be better.\u201d s1mple admitted that some fans have suggested his crosshair placement is not as good as other pros, but explained that if he knows there is no danger, he is not concerned about where his crosshair is, because of his deep understanding of the game. Instead, he can keep his eyes on the radar, rather than where his weapon is aiming. For now, it doesn\u2019t appear s1mple has any plans to go pro in another game, and is instead working on a yet-to-announced project, related to Counter-Strike. But, one would be foolish to doubt his ability to do serious damage in Call of Duty if he chose to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
