S1mple shows off perfect \u201cbackseat gaming\u201d skills in FACEIT CSGO match Counter Strike: Global Offensive phenom Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev did his best to relay crucial information to his FACEIT teammates during a January 11 match, making it an instance where \u201cbackseat gaming\u201d was actually appreciated. Nothing is more annoying than a dead teammate in CS:GO muddling up the comms when trying to retake a site \u2013 unless that teammate happens to be s1mple, in which case it\u2019s always best to just listen. That was the case when the Ukranian player tried to give his teammates the exact spots of the enemies\u2019 position in English, but some callouts didn\u2019t translate well which is when he had change up his approach. To tie up the game at six rounds on Nuke, s1mple\u2019s teammates had to perform a 3v2 retake on the B-site. Although he died earlier trying to prevent the Secret push, his game sense was still an invaluable resource for his side. While the retake was straightforward enough, the pro had to improvise to communicate with his teammates \u2013 with some fans likening the moment as an instance of \u201cbackseat gaming.\u201d \u201cShould be Long. Long side, something like this. Left side, \u2018aykeN.\u2019 Top left, top left. Yes, you saw him. Ramp, ramp. Shadow! Not Shadow, but this roof on \u2013 ramp, ramp!\u201d s1mple said as his teammates were pinching the lower bomb site. His voice comms filled up the audio for the better portion of that retake. But it looks like the teammates didn\u2019t mind since a muddled call from one of the world\u2019s best is still something to pay attention to. Sure enough, once his team processed the calls, the push into B-site revealed the players to be exactly where s1mple had pegged them to be. \u201cHow can I say this f**king position? I don\u2019t remember how it\u2019s called in my team,\u201d he said after the successful retake. The streamer noted that there was a mishap trying to nail the correct term for the spot, but the communication breakdown didn\u2019t have too much of an impact since his rapid-fire description still revealed the locations of the foes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
