Born to win
July 10, 2016, a little over five years ago, ended ESL One Cologne 2016, on which Team Liquid took second place. As part of that team, the young Ukrainian Alexander s1mple Kostylev shone, who by that time had gained scandalous fame due to a number of ambiguous actions and statements. Despite a decent result in the German Major, an incredible sniper performance at that tournament, which gave fans one of the best highlights in CS: GO history, as well as the open desire of Liquid’s management to keep Kostylev in the team, s1mple was destined to leave North America and join the club of his dreams , namely Natus Vincere.
