s1mple ghosted Valve after devs reached out to discuss Counter-Strike 2\u2019s \u201cproblems\u201d ESLS1mple revealed he ghosted Valve after the devs reached out to discuss Counter-Strike 2\u2019s \u201cproblems\u201d amid vocal complaints. As Counter-Strike 2\u2019s first LAN event goes to its playoffs stage at IEM Sydney, much has been said about the state of the game from pros and casual players alike. Questions surrounding its competitive readiness have been raised, as the new release has faced various issues from false bans and game-breaking bugs which have all been plaguing the experience early on. And amidst the first month of the game\u2019s full release, one the greatest CS players in history, Oleksandr \u201cs1mple\u201d Kostyljev, has been perhaps CS2\u2019s biggest critic leading up to its first big event. As s1mple recounted during a recent stream, when asked if Valve ever reached out to him about his opinions of CS2, he confirmed they indeed have. However, he chose not to reply back. He revealed that Valve did reach out regarding one particular tweet he made, telling players not to pursue being a pro in CS2 due to the state of the game and to wait until further updates which would fix the issues. \u201cThey sent me the tweet that I wrote\u2026 and they were like \u2018what\u2019s the issues?\u201d However, s1mple chose not to respond to Valve\u2019s questions. \u201cYou know what I did? I never answered them back. How can you ask me what the issues is if the f***ing whole internet, whole Twitter, is writing about the issues? You don\u2019t see the f***ing issue?\u201d At IEM Sydney, s1mple is not present as part of NAVI\u2019s very first CS2 tournament due to Visa issues. Despite that, NAVI still won their very first match, however, would go on to be eliminated at the group stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
