S1mple appreciates his teammates

Despite being the MVP of the tournament, s1mple had nothing but praise for his teammates especially electronic who was the standout player for the side during the grand final. All the Na’Vi players stood up to the challenge handing Gambit a straight ‘3-0’ defeat, the only player that might have had an off day was Ilya 'Perfecto' Zalutskiy. This is what s1mple had to say about electronic in the post-match interview,

“He just knows that he would just show up in an important moment. It is so great job when he started to just own, I think it is because of him that we won most of the rounds (on Train) because of his entries. But still, the game plan by Boombl4 and B1ad3 was always the same and everything was working.”

S1mple claps back at all the haters

Having appreciated the effort that the entire team had made, s1mple went on to deliver a strong message to all the haters that had questioned his work ethic and loss of motivation. As he further went on to state that,

“I am just happy for my team and I am sad for (the) haters. Those people say that someone is playing bad and he does not understand the problem that he (the player) has right now in real life, and because of it he is just trying to wake up himself you know. Feel bad for haters - nobody lost motivation, nobody has stopped practicing, everything is great.”
