There are few players with skills similar to s1mple The Ukrainian-born CS pro has been consistently called the GOAT in recent years, due in no small part to his mechanics.

Via X.com writes s1mple that he now wants to take a vacation, although this is apparently only half the truth.

Need to fix documents and take care of other people in my life
