S1mple Launches Innovative Counter-Strike 2 Coaching Program

Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, who is recognized as one of the best Counter-Strike players in history, has recently made a transition to coaching with the intention of sharing his extensive in-game knowledge with players of Counter-Strike 2 through his new website. This move was initiated during the time when s1mple was on hiatus from competitive play, giving him a chance to work out a full training complex that will make him a better player.

The program, announced on May 13, offers an intriguing prospect for gamers: an opportunity to practice his trades face-to-face with s1mple. While the first stage is limited to three free lessons, the members are offered more than 50 videos to learn the game for a fee. The lessons are supposed to cover various CS2 components, and therefore, create an environment that widens gamers’ knowledge of the game.

I’m ready to unveil my CS2 project @playlikes1mple. Here I will share all the knowledge I’ve gained throughout my career so you can improve your game and become a much better player. The 1 of 3 free lessons is already available at https://t.co/VuEUFaxIfy and it’s just the start pic.twitter.com/dillp6BT7Q

Even though CS2 was just released in September, s1mple and his teammates had been actively preparing for the release for a long time. “It’s been almost a year, that’s what I said, back in 2017,” s1mple told Dot Esports when his team was created. In the meantime, it implied a need to acknowledge the specificities of CS:2, which s1mple immediately seized, plunging in and adjusting his gameplay accordingly.

The community response was initially mixed. Even though some players have expressed doubts about the competence of the free courses, others are refraining from any judgment prior to the conclusion of the instructing activities.

s1mple’s return to the competitive stage is scheduled for IEM Katowice 2024, and he has already made a cameo at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown with Falcons. Even though some people have doubts, s1mple tries to convince all his fans that the coaching initiative doesn’t mean he is going to ignore his competitive aspirations. In contrast, he believes it will have a positive impact on his understanding and involvement in the game.

The sign-up process is quick and easy as you only need to enter your email address and credentials. While it is customized to accommodate players at various skill levels, from amateur to advanced, the end result will solely rely on the player’s ability to absorb and put into practice s1mple’s instructions.

The competitive community will pay close attention to the evolution of the program and the release of each new lesson, trying to find out whether this genius player is capable of disclosing all his secrets of success, which could be of great use to a novice in the world of CS2. Whether he can match his playing prowess with teaching ability is yet to be known. The unrivaled mastery of his skill set has piqued the interests of many youngsters who want to improve their game. Thus, a chance to study from a player like s1mple is just too good to pass up.
