Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov from G2 reached out to Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev, who has been inactive for some time. m0NESY urged the Ukrainian esports player to return to the professional Counter-Strike scene. Osipov expressed this message on his social media account on X.
"The [IEM Cologne 2024] championship ended so quickly for us that I didn’t have the chance to say what I wanted on stage. I want to address someone who has inspired millions, including myself. Sasha [s1mple], we await your return to the pro scene. It's time to turn your haters into fans once again!"
It is worth recalling that Oleksandr has been on NAVI's inactive roster since October 2023. In March this year, he played on loan for Falcons at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024. The team lost their first match and finished last in the tournament. A few weeks ago, he responded to questions about when he plans to return to Counter-Strike.
