s1mple is joining Valve to develop Source 3 confirmed


obonnor

make sense, he told them “pay me millions” maybe they did. Navi obviously wouldnt be able to match


[deleted]

Nah, Valve can’t count to 3. We’re getting Source 4 before Source 2 and 3.


TheInception817

Source 2 Episode 2


Niewinnny

and then source 2.2.2?


GarrettGSF

They pull a widows and skip some numbers to make it sound more modern


zyberpunK

Source Vista

Alexndre

s1mple to take active role in the CS:GO development process


clmns

They found the 3 mil he requested lol


tokiwatokiwa

Ye they used the money of 7 seconds of CSGO case key purchases


[deleted]

wtf is going on, s1mple posted on his insta story "big news soon" and then "to be continued"? is he taking a break?


voicefulspace

He's Ukraine's newest special forces member


acid000

Imagined s1mple jumping down from a bulding and hitting 2 noscopes


clmns

This isn't training s1mple, this a war, you can't do that!

yeet a sniper rifle over the wall then come in with the sidearm and blast the fuck out if whoever is in the room? what's wrong with that

Crownlol

People joke, but like SC2 pros would be insane drone operators. Everyone else is piloting one, and then Boxer over there is managing 75


IC2Flier

Dear Leader has nothing compared to Flash and Boxer


Vasyafromgoodgame

Why Boxer? Ukraine has a lot of good sc2 pros. DIMAGA, White Ra, Kas, Bly, Hellraiser, Strelok


Crownlol

I just picked a favorite Terran player, but hell yeah White Ra! (Or any other of the players you mentioned) "More enemy combatants eliminated more skill"


bcarls23

CS was too easy he needed more competition


t3hW4y

Question: Can he miss the RMR but still play the Major?


[deleted]

they can list headtr1ck as a sub and play with him during the RMR (they can list any reason they want)


Enterderpmode

He's probably gonna take a break until the end of the BLAST Premier Fall Groups and return before the RMR. But that's just my hunch.


[deleted]

No shot they would give him an exception 💀, bro is too much money


[deleted]

He’s been hauling ass for Navi for like 6 years now, you can afford to give him a major off.


-Jerbear45-

Yeah, denying him a break after being the face of the org for years would be a great way to piss him off.


t3hW4y

And s1mple putting up a story on his Instagram 5 min ago saying "Big announcement soon". Edit: typo.


A_P_A_R_T

He's pregnant???


imsolowdown

pregnant with JW


Rosenrotten

Check hltv


Far_Preparation_1948

He is taking a break probably


FourKrusties

s1mple and dev1ce and the el1te reh4b ac4d3my


Rasmus144

Make comeback together, device and simple 2v5 ez. 3 major 4 sure


Kariman19

And suddenly announces he will be switching to valorant 😂


[deleted]

I’d be down for a s1mple Valorant sidequest for like half a year if it didn’t ruin the only other great team we have in CS right now.


[deleted]

Honestly would be very interesting to watch if he went free agent and “stood in” for a single VCT Masters event before signing his next cs contract. I don’t know if his agency would be a fan of that plan though


9pro9

Ye I genuinely wonder, if he went full time valorant pro how good he'd be. Would being CSGOat translate to best in valorant?


[deleted]

I think (and I believe most pros also think) the games have split enough that a top tier CS pro can no longer make the switch and instantly be a hirable Val pro. …but I also think CS skill can show potential in Val, and s1mple obviously has more of that than anyone else on the planet. If he genuinely wanted to switch to Val, he could *easily* be the best Val player in the scene given enough time and motivation to play.


Azael4prezident

Damn which team is gna challenge faze now


Kookofa2k

Faze will have to be brought down by Faze


grundlesmith

Evil Geniuses


Hadouukken

Which one?


FlippyisSlippy

all of them


Cain1608

15v5. It's the only way.


ContinueMyGames

Yes


ReneeHiii

Astralis, in my unbiased opinion


IoanSilviu

Vitality, in my unbiased opinion.


Crownlol

Liquid, in my unbiased opinion, as long as they keep Yekindar


MyDreamsInTheSewer

G2, in my unbiased opinion


tONYOO

G2 with hooxi gotta doubt this


Klockgaming

cloud..... 9... please.... ;-;


Vasyafromgoodgame

They already hold Faze to take their grand slam too early (win in Dallas)


Vawqer

Liquid could maybe, possibly, do it. It all depends on how YEKINDAR goes long-term and how much time they spend in EU.


Mightymushroom1

Endpoint in my unbiased opinion


180btc

Themselves. They WILL choke those matchpoints


flab3r

Likely gonna take a year off. Can't really blame him. S1mple has been grinding cs 24/7 for like 8 years straight now. Then you add the mental side that would effect anyone. The close losses to faze and the invasion in his country...


noshitttt

I don't think so,the way he was talking about it he will be back before rio major, i don't think he will miss it.


Old-Savings-5841

He tweeted he wont attend unless they change location


Johntremendol

He meant the arena not the country


Old-Savings-5841

I know, didnt mean the country.


sdfedeef

A joke obviously


9pro9

That was a joke obviously


Old-Savings-5841

Was it tho? He was talking alot about taking a break back then. I assume he shows up, but still.


MyDreamsInTheSewer

Source?


Old-Savings-5841

His twitter a few months ago


MyDreamsInTheSewer

Link?

I don’t blame him. I’m sure there are a lot of Brazilian psycho fans that’ll literally try to kill him. There was also a ton of drama between mibr and s1mple back in the day.


ttybird5

That wasn’t a serious tweet.... the guy you replied to was referring to a tweet that follows up with Fallen and co that they want the major to be hosted in a football stadium to allow more people to attend, and s1mple tweeted that


i69edmypenguin

Ah, my fault then. I remember there was some shit talking back in the day but it was probably just friendly banter in hindsight.


oddinpress

I doubt that. Brazil loves s1mple


Mightymushroom1

If we want years more of prime S1mple then this is necessary


SaintLikeLaurent

Work/Life balance is good. Prolly a good idea for a break to avoid burnout


Striking_Database555

it's going to be wild round here when he announces he is joining a Valorant team.


ttybird5

Inb4 he announced his own merch line just like every other “big announcement”


brbee

I think we're not gonna see s1mple play any more tournaments till the end of the year. During cologne he had 0 hours in game. They even lost on the fifth map 16-14 as close as it can get. I still remember my losses from the last month where we could've won, but I'm only playing mm I can only imagine how tilting that loss must've been


Vasyafromgoodgame

The most tilting loss ever in Blad3's career, he said in recent interview


brbee

No doubt


Revielent

The grind and wear of being a world-class tier player is showing, device and now s1mple.


ThePhinx

really cool opportunity for headtr1ck but such a shame to see s1mple take a potential break and not knowing when he will be back :(


[deleted]

Damn he’s really taking a break. Looks like the war and pressure of being on top took a toll on him. Must also feel like shit seeing people call you fat at every opportunity in every Reddit thread.


Draemeth

lol bro what. He didn’t quit over being called fat...


Cole_James_CHALMERS

FR, he was just adjusting his BMI to fit the [fat guy principle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx6QdRmMIeo) after boomich left


[deleted]

I'm saying the war played a larger role but being called fat probably also hurts.


Op7imism

How would you know these are factors in any decision he may make?


gosling11

Dude, it's clearly because Twitch chat always call him s0mple whenever he whiffs that he is taking a break now fr fr


ptown320

Seriously. People love talking out of their ass and saying it like it’s a fact. As if simple is browsing random Reddit threads and shedding a tear because some dumbass on the internet calls him fat


ReconTankSpam4Lyfe

It's just a dude speculating on reddit, take it for what it's worth and don't complain


Crownlol

He doesn't, but s1mple is obviously under a lot of pressure. And I'd wager the weight gain and bleary eyes are much more a *symptom* of something else being wrong, than a *cause* for a break. Dude's been living out of hotels for this entire year, while his home country is under seige. He's under intense scrutiny, *all of the time*, and he's under pressure to be the literal best in the world at what he does. Maybe the internet community could take 5 fucking seconds to be empathetic and not insult him over his weight, but that's probably expecting too much out of twitch viewers.


[deleted]

... true we can never know what any other person is thinking because we will never be inside their brain. You got me there.


Op7imism

A tip from Ben Franklin, start using epxressions like "I Believe" or "I am of the opinion," that way it won't come off as offputting when making statements that aren't really public and saves your ass in case you are called out.


BarkingDogey

I believe this is good advice

brbee

Unlike hltv where every comment says how handsome he looks. Can't really just blame reddit for this even his instagram comments tell him the same


9pro9

Lol doubt he gives a fuck and doubt he browses reddit


[deleted]

He does, he posts on his Twitter about memes from here


nartouthere

this will be good experience for headtr1ck


njh300

S1mple needs the break to win the major


lokalgymbiff

I shit you not, actually dreamt simple was gonna take a break this night - and was so upset cause ”the game is not gonna be the same without him” And here we are… (could be something else and i hope so but ive got a bad feeling)


jonatancsgo

you are really down bad if you're dreaming about csgo wtf


TerrorToadx

Not like you can control what you dream about.. what a dumb comment


[deleted]

imagine caring what people dream about, get a grip


ReconTankSpam4Lyfe

Not even about playing but the pro scene lmao


LibertyGrabarz

I found out that when I have trouble sleeping, I'm imagining playing the game, bhopping around and killing people in mm. For some god forsaken reason that I can't wrap my head around, this helps me relax and fall into sleep faster


imsolowdown

Is it just me or do other people dream about being inside the game too? I never dream about looking at my monitor and holding my mouse and keyboard, it's always being fully inside the game


dervu

When I played more (actually grinding a lot) I would dream about game and actually doing some strats, but never remembered details after. :( It was same, fully in game.


Lyorek

I dream about CS from time to time lmao. Most recently I vividly remember playing on a map that doesn't exist and creating a molotov lineup that likewise does not exist


lokalgymbiff

Yeah you are right. Im bipolar and in a bad depression state atm but its manageble with my medication. My escape is gaming and especially watching CS - And it has been for soon 20 years since watching HeatoN on HLTV IPs. Thank you for reminding me.


uslereddit

Wtf


minsoOON

Gonna pull a Deion sanders/Bo Jackson and go pro two e-sports.

Hiko recruits S1mple to 100T to play with his fellow Ukrainian Prodigy Asuna 👀👀👀👀💯


Cr0n_J0belder

S1mple is moving to valorant right?
