ZywOo rarely has an off-day on the server, but that\u2019s exactly what 2020\u2019s number one player had against Complexity. Vitality\u2019s star AWPer posted his worst individual map in history, getting only two kills on Overpass and posting a 0.28 HLTV rating. The Frenchmen ended up falling down 0-2 with the result, with Valentin \u2018poizon\u2019 Vasilev and the rest of Complexity running riot on the server. While many were quick to criticize the 20-year-old, his contemporary in s1mple jumped to his defense. The Na\u2019Vi veteran has been there before, and he had some words of encouragement for his younger French protege. \u201cIf you see dev1ce or ZywOo, you don\u2019t get to trash talk them, because as you saw, I had the worst game of my career as well [against Vitality in 2019]. It\u2019s not because I played bad, it\u2019s because my team played bad,\u201d he explained on a February 11 stream.

You don\u2019t need to hate us. The only bad thing can happen [when] some of these players [have a] bad map is losing confidence for the next map, but they\u2019re actually great players. They always come back.\u201d He asked his fans to stop slamming ZywOo on social media. S1mple claimed at the end of the day, every pro player is there for a reason \u2014 and they all have their moments. \u201cI\u2019m just telling everyone to stop hating, stop arguing who\u2019s the better player. Who can argue who\u2019s better, but you don\u2019t need to f**king hate anyone. You don\u2019t need to say they\u2019re doing bad. \u201cLike me or ZywOo or dev1ce or Electronic or any other player, all of us can\u2026show something new for you and each other, and that\u2019s what we need to respect because all of us do a great job of showing some great performances. \u201cThat\u2019s the most important; when you play with [stability], with confidence, at a great level \u2014 that\u2019s what I respect the most.\u201d ZywOo did manage to bounce back against Evil Geniuses, posting a game-high 1.26 rating in the series. His squad still fell 1-2 to the Americans though, bowing out BLAST Premier Spring 2021 in 10-12th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>s1mple defends ZywOo after Vitality star flounders against Complexity StarLadderOleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev has jumped to Mathieu \u2018ZywOo\u2019 Herbaut\u2019s defense, after the Vitality star posted his worst performance in history at BLAST Premier Spring 2021, dropping only 2-17 on Overpass in their 0-2 explosion against Complexity.
