S1mple Reveals His CS:GO Grind Schedule From 2014

Back in 2014 when s1mple was just a 16 years old school-going teenager, he still used to take out time and grind CS:GO for 10 hours straight according to his recent Tweet.

This shows how s1mple since a young age had committed to practicing and competing daily for 10 hours straight, he worked on himself while giving his best when it came to playing in the FPL and he did all this without missing or dropping out of school. No wonder why he is often referred to as a god when it comes to Counter-Strike.

The best part is that this drive has not slowed down even a bit after all these years as s1mple continues to dominate the competitive circuit on the back of his individual skills. Despite all this, it is a sad sight to see the player without any Majors to his name.
