S1mple talks about switching to Valorant
One of the best CS:GO players in the world s1mple, has started the 2021 competitive CS:GO season strong by helping Na’Vi secure consecutive wins at BLAST Premier: Global Final 2020 and BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2021. He has been doing really well individually, finishing the group stage of the currently ongoing ESL Pro League Season 13 as the second-best performing player, as per HLTV rating.
Despite doing so well in CS:GO, rumours have started doing the rounds recently that s1mple might be considering a switch to Valorant, mostly because of his multiple Valorant streams. As the tension around the topic was increasing, the Na’Vi AWPer decided to step forward and dismiss these speculations himself by stating the following,
“Listen! If I were Astralis (Danish CS:GO team) that has won 4 Majors, I would probably think about it you know. But now I have 0 Majors, so I will keep grinding.”

S1mple is back to streaming CS:GO for now and has started grinding the FPL (FACEIT Pro League) once again, as Na’Vi is all set to go up against Complexity in their opening match of the ESL Pro League Season 13 - Playoffs scheduled to take place on 3 April 2021.
