OverDrive claims s1mple's game with Falcons "was the most expensive match in CS history" Rumors
2024-03-07 10:04:00CS2 insider Aleksey "OverDrive" Biryukov commented on the defeat of Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev and Team Falcons in the first round of BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024. He called the match with Metizport the "most expensive in the game's history." It's unclear whether the insider was joking about the buyout and s1mple's contract.
This was the most expensive match in CS history! $1,000,000. <...> They wanted to extend s1mple [contract] for another couple of months, but they only extended it for one night.
Team Falcons lost to Metizport with a score of 1:2. This was s1mple's first match in CS2. The superstar has not competed on the professional scene since October 2023. Whether he will remain in the international team is still unknown. The official signing claimed that Falcons would acquire s1mple on a loan for one month. There was no reliable information about the loan cost.
Team Falcons was eliminated from BLAST Spring Showdown 2024. Their next tournament will be ESL Pro League Season 19, which starts on April 23. You can read more about s1mple's comeback match below.
