S1mple: "Even if I'm gonna be on bench, I will practice to win Major until I lose my pulse"
2024-11-19 12:01:00Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev commented on Team Falcons' departure from the PW Shanghai Major 2024 RMR. He credited the opponents and suggested they outfragged his team on the last map of the bo3. The CS2 superstar posted his reaction on X.
1-3 and the next map is de_airport. Nothing to say, GamerLegion definitely played better on Mirage, even our reads didn't help us. Thanks to everyone for your support! <...> Don’t worry, I will be back stronger, even if I'm going to be on the bench, I will practice to win a Major until I lose my pulse. By the way, +train -vertigo asap, full spaceship map for me.
S1mple failed to qualify for a Major for the first time since he got in top-tier CS with Team Liquid in 2016. He also missed the previous event in Copenhagen due to the break. The superstar is on loan to Falcons, who might buy him after the Major and rebuild the squad with NiKo.
As a result of the loss, Peter "Dupreeh" Rasmussen misses the second Major in a row as well. Before CS2, he attended every single tournament of the series out of 19. Now, he is equal with karrigan and apEX, who earned their spots in Shanghai.
