The full story of s1mple's career, in 8 chapters.
Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev is a 29-year-old Ukrainian player for BC.Game, a starter there since 28 July 2025. He won the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 as its MVP with Natus Vincere and was ranked No. 1 in the Top 20 for 2018, 2021 and 2022.
s1mple was born on 2 October 1997 and played for Courage Gaming in 2014. He then passed through HellRaisers, FlipSid3 Tactics and a second HellRaisers spell before Team Liquid signed him on 2 January 2016.
Liquid was a short stop with a big result. He placed second at ESL One Cologne 2016 and third to fourth at MLG Columbus 2016, and ended the year at No. 4 in the Top 20. On 4 August 2016 he moved from Liquid to Natus Vincere.
The first trophy came quickly. Natus Vincere won ESL One New York 2016 and he took the MVP medal. DreamHack Open Winter 2017 followed, and he finished No. 8 in the Top 20 for 2017.
2018 was his first year at the top of the rankings. He was MVP at StarSeries i-League Season 5, the CS:GO Asia Championships 2018, ESL One Cologne 2018 and BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen 2018, all titles for Natus Vincere, and finished No. 1. The team lost the FACEIT Major 2018 final, taking second place. He was No. 2 in the Top 20 for 2019 and again for 2020, when he won IEM Katowice 2020 and the BLAST Premier Global Final 2020 as MVP.
Natus Vincere won the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 and he was the Major MVP. In 2021 he also took the MVP at DreamHack Masters Spring 2021, IEM Cologne 2021, the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021 and the BLAST Premier World Final 2021, and he was named Player of the Year.
2022 brought a second Player of the Year award and the AWPer of the Year award. He won the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022 as MVP and was MVP of IEM Cologne 2022 even though Natus Vincere finished second. At the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 the team also placed second. He was No. 1 in the Top 20 for 2022, and No. 7 for 2023.
Natus Vincere benched him on 27 October 2023. What followed was a run of short stints.
On 28 July 2025 he left Natus Vincere for BC.Game.
Over the last 3 months, s1mple's Rating 3.0 is 1.13 across 40 maps. Over the last 12 months it is 1.14 across 117 maps. His all-time figure is 1.23 on the older Rating 1.0 scale, across 1,950 maps, and the two versions are not directly comparable.
His most recent title came with BC.Game at the Elisa BreakOut Series #1 on 1 August 2026, a 2-0 final win over ENCE. His last title with Natus Vincere was the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022.
s1mple uses both, and the AWP is his top weapon by kills. The AK-47 is second, ahead of the Desert Eagle, the M4A4 and the M4A1-S. Rifles account for 41% of his kills and snipers for 38.4%.
That split fits his award for AWPer of the Year in 2022. Rifle kills still outnumber sniper kills overall, which is why he is hard to file under one weapon.
s1mple uses 400 DPI, a sensitivity of 3.09, an eDPI of 1,236 and a zoom sensitivity of 1 at 1280x960 in 4:3 stretched (last updated Nov 10, 2026). s1mple's crosshair code is CSqdyVHCfmbXwfATimefA3LMo9PUmPzqFZpYyXn5eWmv9A. Copy it from the crosshair section.
s1mple's current gear is the ZOWIE XL2586X+ monitor, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Cyan mouse, the SteelSeries QcK Performance Speed mousepad, the Logitech G Pro X TKL Keyboard Black (GX Brown Tactile), the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset and the Sennheiser CX 300S for audio.
