After s1mple introduced a break from aggressive CS again in October, it wasn’t clear if or when he’d be again on the server. Some thought he may by no means come again, struggling the identical destiny as others who’ve taken an identical break prior to now. Because the GOAT, s1mple is constructed completely different. We predict he gained’t miss a beat when he returns as the following a part of the Falcons superteam. Changing BOROS shouldn’t show too troublesome a job, with the participant actually scuffling with zonic’s calls for because the inception of this roster.

His stint on Falcons might be short-term, a minimum of initially. In line with the official announcement, the signing is only a one-month mortgage deal whereas Falcons compete on the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024. Nonetheless, with NAVI presently settled with w0nderful on the roster for the foreseeable future, it isn’t troublesome to think about a world the place this deal turns into everlasting if it really works out for Falcons, who will need to instantly bounce again from their failure to qualify for the PGL Main Copenhagen 2024.
Who AWPs for Falcons now?
The presence of s1mple on Falcons raises one large query for the workforce. Who would be the main AWPer now? With SunPayus nonetheless on the roster, the workforce now has two main AWPers. SunPayus is nice, however s1mple is the GOAT. What do you do with a dilemma like this?

Who AWPs for Falcons: s1mple or SunPayus? Picture Credit: PGL
We predict SunPayus will stay the principle AWPer for Falcons, a minimum of in the interim. Again when s1mple first introduced his break, he claimed any comeback may see a change in function to rifler, as a result of AWPs being much less efficient in CS2. We predict that’s precisely what that is – s1mple going again to his roots and taking on the rifler mantle as soon as once more. In any case, he’s not a foul choice to have should you want a secondary AWP on CT.
We are able to’t wait to see s1mple again on the server, even when seeing him not signify NAVI will take some getting used to. CS hasn’t been the identical with out him, and with the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024 kicking off on March sixth, followers don’t have lengthy to attend to see him in motion as soon as once more.
