Always interesting to see what they think on the matter instead of the casuals, the fans, the enthusiasts on HLTV or even just different from good faceit/esea players.
Keep in mind that pros watch other pros all year round ! This means that they also analyze and anti-strat other teams and players all year. So they probably know more about player playstyles than most of us and also often what a player allows on the server which the casual wouldn't see or consider. PRO games are also really different from PUGS.

KEEP IN MIND that these videos are recent and are obviously concerning the year 2020 as a whole with the HLTV ranking coming up and also in terms of current form.
DISCLAIMER: IGNORE RICHARD LEWIS (he's not a pro so he's off topic and he also doesn't understand anything about the game, leave that hateful sophist aside for now).

If you ask YNK you can ask RL.

YNK was a pro in CS and a coach for Faze for years ^^ literally incomparable, RL doesn't play CSGO, he's not even a silver or nova (MM player), and cheated in CSS, that's literally all there is to him.

YNK is a shit noob. You could aks any guy on the street and get higher quality.

Well that's another report.
YNK was doing good when he played as a stand-in in some Faze games so he's got at least the talent to stand in in tier 1-2 games, where's your HLTV profile on the other hand ? You're a random.
1 reply
Problem with your logic bud "RL and because Thoorin never played cs at a high level so they don't understand" is flawed as fuck because you can understand the game and not play and mind you most pros are not that smart when it comes to analyzing cs on a level where casters are at great example Niko every analyst has said he's a good player dumbest IGL while niko thinks otherwise so can you explain how pros understand way better then analyst. And bud they ain't randoms, have you seen RL work in the industry?
He was at the desk of several majors bro that seems like something a redditor usually does?
1 reply
ofc, HLTV forum users are on the analyst desk for every event, didn't you know that?
Yes but he understands the game really well and was pro in CSS I believe. He got a cancer and won against it.
Keep in mind that casters at 1PV where he used to cast are knowledgeable and involved in CS (more so than casters from the mainstream) and some of them have been pros or analysts, coaches, assistants in pro french teams, hence their understanding of the game is sharp.
This is a rare and special case, he comes from special background and is and was involved with the scene a lot. (him and ALEX were friends even before Alex joined vitality).

The best analysts play the game or have played the game at a sufficient level though^^ you can't deny that out of the top 3 teams, all of the 3 coaches were pros in CS at one point, maybe not in CSGO but in different versions of CS.
I'm sorry but you can't be a full fledged analyst if you've never played the game in a team of some kind or play decent level of PUGS, you'd miss too much knowledge, information about the game you can't learn, understand without playing. That was the case for Vitality's analyst in 2019, he never played in a pro team but he has done analysis for pro games for literally years (some on his youtube) since the early days and played decent level of PUGS on ESEA rank A ( it's high), he was gifted mechanically but he was still better than 99.999999% of players.

He was already playing in tier 2 for years as a semi-pro and dropped 37 kills against VIP and almost won against them. HE WAS KNOWN SINCE 2016 in the french scene so YES IT'S years.

ZywOo > s1mple imo
idk why there are 50 threads on this every day.
Both are clearly head and shoulders above every1 else.
For 2020 specifically, they're extremely close in all stats. Either one being #1 is respectable.
To actually rank them, given how close they are statistically, you need to find legitimate tiebreakers. These might include: Big events, consistency, team accolades etc
I think the huge discrepancy at the largest event of the year between the two is likely the most obvious tiebreaker. Consistency is also another one that HLTV seem to (over) value (as seen in team rankings)
For my money I'd say s1mple was better this year by a very small margin because of these two most tangible tiebreakers, but I really dont see much of a difference between the two, and both are deserving.
Let's stop posting threads every day and just wait until Tuesday

I'm doing this because the HLTV ranking is coming closer, I'm not doing this all year like the others ( look at the number of my threads). I would only make them for such occasions or if there's a breaking point for a player when I posted in April 2019 that ZywOo was the best player currently. I haven't posted anything regarding the matter before this year's ranking.

Alot of people watch demos, pro games are different but they do not play on same team. So you cant know how the guy is. But its what they think. For me s1mple is better and he was better in 2020.

Well in terms of individual awards, he's head and shoulders above the rest.
11 MVPs in 2 years for ZywOo
6 MVPs in 2 years for Dev1ce
3 MVPs in 2 years for s1mple
5 EVPs in 2019
7 EVPS in 2019
5 EVPs in 2019
He got as much EVPs than s1mple while having 5 times his amount of MVPs, historically I think we've never seen such difference between stats, individual awards and team achievements between the #1 of the year and the #2 of the year. Remember that ZywOo's playoff ratings in 2019 is 1.34 rating 2.0 which is above s1mple's playoff ratings in 2018 by a lot, 0.04 (s1mple had 1.30 in playoffs). s1mple's playoff ratings in 2019 can't even compare to ZywOo's or his self's previous year, he had 28 maps and a 1.24 rating, 0.10 less than ZywOo while ZywOo had 20 maps maps than him in playoffs (not to mention higher opposition and maps played against top 10/top5).
He also matches the numbers of MVPs s1mple had his whole career in only 2 years of playing O_o. The best 1 year and 2 first year of a player in CS?
2018 between s1mple and Dev1ce only had a huge difference in terms of stats but dev1ce had 7 MVPs, more EVPs (7 against s1mple's 4 EVPs) and certainly not in team achievements, I don't think I need to provide numbers for Astralis of 2018, the best team of all time.
To me he's the best this year too but let's wait and see what HLTV decides.

Well, depends how you figure. device has said dozens of times that he doesnt care about his individual ranking. (obviously who wouldnt want to be #1 tho)
Navi and astralis are also playing completely different ways which favors simple much more in terms of individual stats.
However everyone knows that mechanically simple is better, there is no question about that. Between zywoo and simple though it depends more on the date and time. Both are on a league of their own and noone else comes even close currently.

Well yhea. I thought he was discussing but he's just a fanboy, I wasted time on him. Literally everyone, even CIS fans say Na'Vi plays around s1mple and setup him up a lot because Na'Vi is star-centered with him and Electronic but he says no ?
I'm sorry but I've watched a lot of demos from the top 3 teams ( My favorite player is Electronic and ZywOo because of what they do on the map) and there's no way you can't see that if you watch enough of their games.
26 replies
Exactly.
No other player gets set up as hard as simple but thats how navi likes to play so im not judging on that. However, to claim that simple is ”better player” than zywoo/device/whoever because of his higher kd is just idiotic.
Simple has saved navi many times for sure but he has also lost them games just because he goes for the fancy-kill/plays for frags.
Impact tells more than enough tho. If the likes of zywoo have higher impact with smaller kd while playing way less awp its kinda self explanatory.
Zywoo best pistol player 2020, best clutcher, highest impact, most mvps and a bunch of insane plays is the reason he should be #1 this year.
But according to bunch of simplefanboys simple is better player anyway despite the facts. Lel.

Look at his stats at the beginning of the year, he's just behind s1mple despite having a slump as a player and as team, the worst period of Vitality the last 2 years. s1mple had a lot of downs in 2019, and ups and downs in 2020 with CIS RMRs and some other events, why don't you mention it if we're talking about slumps ? Everybody have slumps, that's why we rank each year, not each month.
15 replies
4 replies
CIS RMRs will be counted on overall rating of a player but It won't be counted on any notable stats because they weren't MVP worthy and their formats were often with 8 teams, level of opposition was low too and yet Na'Vi didn't even managed to get 3-4th place in them. But that's definetely a slump from s1mple. Just that s1mple won't affected a lot in terms of stats by it (despite having 1.11 rating or similar on them) while ZywOo's "slump" rating of 1.25 in Katowice will be counted.
That's all there is to it, there are considerations for elite events, elite event playoffs, MVP worthy tournament ratings, MVP worthy tournament playoffs, overall playoffs, etc.
I'm not talking about the ranking since you did here you go (I discuss day and night with SWARN151 and he's in frequent talks with the HLTV staff) so I do know all of this.
You were talking about slumps and form, I replied to you accordingly. Both had slumps.

I have personal preference for ZywOo's playstyle and Vitality's playstyle, so there goes my bias, though I love Electronic despite disliking Na'Vi's playstyle (their T side can either look beautiful or horrible considering it's really hard to play like they do, slowly (maybe too slowly) and spread out, and s1mple just doesn't move to utilize informations on map).
But your claims on stats, outside of your opinion, is most definetely accurate and stats show it .
By inflated stats did you mean this or something else ? :
By inflated stats I mean this also in 2020:
1) s1mple 1.29 rating 2.0 > 1.42 KD / 1.33 Impact rating
2) Dev1ce 1.20 rating 2.0 > 1.25 KD / 1.26 Impact rating
3) Zywoo 1.29 rating 2.0 > 1.33 KD / 1.38 Impact rating
3) Zywoo's KD ratio to Impact rating means his kills have massive impact on round wins.
2) dev1ce has a fairly good impact and almost 1:1 ratio from KD to Impact rating.
1) s1mple has great impact but his ratio KD to Impact rating is bad which means he gets meaningless kills that don't win rounds like eco frags/exit frags and this is confirmed by the eyetest when you watch Na'Vi demos, he is really passive, laid-back (Gla1ve said on HLTV confirmed I believe) and he is often saving/clutching (Jame time). I believe Gla1ve said that Zywoo and Electronic were very impactful players, more so s1mple which lead him saying s1mple was very passive.
He's an amazing player and one of the best AWPER in the world (top 1-2 individualon the awp) but he's not a great teamplayer, takes too much ressources out of his team and doesn't create space as Twistzz and aerial said in an interview: "s1mple lets his team create space for him while Zywoo creates space for his team, and I think that's pretty impressive".
People saying he is a statpadder or a KD player aren't that much far off as the stats show (but ofc he's not only that, far from it, he's really smart and has good gamesense).
Because he is such a skilled player people don't want to acknowledge he's a baiter while we easely acknowledged Cold was baiting Taco in SK ( and these guys won 2 Majors, Coldzera 2 major MVPs and back to back ).
So what s1mple allows for his team is a bit overrated. People always blame his team or Electronic when they lose but Na'Vi completely plays around him, drops him every round (p250, scout, deagle, ak, AWP...) and he buys kelvar pretty much every round; that's kinda crazy. Looking at his money usage per map, he is prob the tier 1 pro that buys the most and takes the most money out of his team. (I have a thread which talks about it, though it wasn't its original goal, people pointed it out in the comments since s1mple's weapon usage % is unique and only contains prenium weapons, HLTV doesn't provide stats for kevlar unfortunately).
Na'Vi is really star-centered, and Vitality was last year in 2019 but not nearly as much as Na'Vi this year (if Vitality 2019 was star centered, it was about 50%; Na'Vi 2019 or 2020 is 200%)
In 2020 though, Vitality is not star-centered at all with apEX's IGLing.

Sorry for the late reply.
Exactly what I mean. Simple is a fun player to watch, he has done some crazy plays and noone can deny that.
However saying that simple is better individual than zywoo is just stupid. How can you even compare simple individually to anyone when he is set up so hard, plays full buy basically every round and is always the last one to go in.

Yeah mate. But thats simplefans for you. They love to disagree with you without providing any arguments except for ”cuz i say so”.
For example; Hltv rating obviously shows zywoo had higher impact in 2020 -> simplefans will argue that just because that would mean someone did something better than their idol.
Just think about it, there is a reason simple is disliked and that is like 98% due to his fans lol.

I guess these videos were already posted many times in the past few days, but it's always insightful to listen to them. Also, RL does have some credibility, even if not as much as other pros/analysts, as #11 stated.
Another thing I've noticed is that, these same pros give different answers at different points of time :D At the beginning of the year, when Blast did these interviews (after spring season), and betting channels (betway and all, after Katowice), almost everyone (actually, I think literally everyone) said s1mple :D
At the moment however (at least by the last event in December 2020), ZywOo was clearly doing a better job than s1mple, as an overall player. Hence, the opinions of these pros are surely very well justified :)
2 replies
Yes! exactly. These videos consider the current form of players. That's why the same video they did late 2019 went to ZywOo's way almost exclusively but the videos from these channels in the early rise of Na'Vi at the beginning of the year with Katowice were more in favor of s1mple, justifiedly so! and now it's the opposite. That's why I said these videos are 10 days old max. To make sure they're not outdated
I literally stated this in the initial comment of this thread but I'm still getting a lot of hate xp . I guess people missed the point and fanboys are sending private messages now ^^
And with all of this in mind, we can't know whether they talk in general, this year in 2020 or recent form. They did talk a few words as to why and I would've like people in this thread to talk about that. That's why I named the thread Pros (opinions) about ZywOo vs s1mple ( your classic headline, rivalry made by CSGO fans).
Also concerning RL, that's my opinion, It's known he doesn't have arguments of authority as far CSGO as a game is concerned, but It's true that I really don't like him, he's not my cup of tea.
1 reply
There's no real point asking the players. There's a lot of bias because they know and like/dislike the players personally. A lot of people don't like S1mple's personality and think he's arrogant or a cunt. Whereas for Zywoo they might think he's a boring beta cuck. They're both the clear best, the differences are negligible and all comes down to preference.
2 replies
That's literally your own assumptions. I've seen players like Tabsen, Forest who like s1mple and it is well known Tabsen is s1mple's friend but they do over the course of 2 years change their answer. For example in 2019 (mid year) Forest and Tabsen said s1mple was better. At the end of the year Forest said ZywOo. Early-mid year of 2020 Tabsen says s1mple. Now he says ZywOo.
Don't assume because people are friends they're not objective. Some of them aren't, some of are, it doesn't matter. These pros' opinions. It's not about right or wrong.

Pros usually don't go by stats to say who is better. It depends if the team did better the last events or not. If Navi wins events they say s1mple and if vitality wins events what happened at the end of the year they say zywoo. Can't really say who was better in 2020 both of them have stats that favor them.
7 replies
The format didn't allow them to explain thoroughly why and it's known whether all their answers who have justification or they just felt like it.
I remember Twistzz or Aerial talking as to why they thought ZywOo was better than s1mple in 2019 at the end of the year (pretty sure you can see these vids from betway etc on youtube).
Also Konfig at the beginning of 2020 said s1mple and now he is ZywOo, so it depends on current form and the year overall too.
6 replies
As I said it depends on the team achievements that's why everyone said at the beginning of the year s1mple and now zywoo. S1mple has basically the same ratings at events at the start of the year and at the end while zywoo had slightly worse ratings at the beginning and at the end much better ratings. Just look at Beijing and Fall Finals, zywoo got on both events the MVP since vitality won these events but that doesnt mean that s1mple played worse than him. Over the two events they have very similar ratings and maps played.
4 replies
Of course, team performances affect invidivual performances, but they're talking about players here. Konfig said in early 2020 that s1mple was better as an individual than ZywOo in their current form. Now it's the opposite, It does match what you're saying but ZywOo's individual performances over the last 3-4 months are definetely above s1mple's.
EDIT: here is some stats of the last 3 months : hltv.org/stats?startDate=2020-10-17&endD..
last 6 months : hltv.org/stats?startDate=2020-07-17&endD.. (higher rating and 20 more maps).

last 3 months, there were also EU RMR which decrease ZywOo's rating. Of course, there are different kinds of ratings and notable stats.
Overall ratings, elite events ratings, playoff ratings, elite event playoff ratings to consider for the HLTV ranking. I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about current form without including or exclude tournaments, ZywOo has better form. He plays against way higher opposition in EU RMR tournaments and has higher rating than s1mple who had bad stats in CIS RMRs. How is that not relevant to form of the last 3 months ?
I'm not talking about the whole year here.

Just pros saying either s1mple or ZywOo that's literally it.
3 pros said s1mple and all the others said ZywOo ( considering both videos, I didn't count RL's statement since he is no pro and I don't like him, he's not knowledgeable but if you want to count it then that makes 4 people) against ZywOo's 10+ something ( I won't count haha).

How is 2020 relevant to s1mple in 2018 ?
I don't really understand mind explaining ? He's talking about s1mple peak performances from 2018 on a 2021 video about current form of two of the best players in 2020?
Tell me how relevant is that ?
"hater" All I see is you hating on ZywOo without providing any argument.
As a matter of Stats, s1mple did have better stats than ZywOo had in 2019 but there's one category where ZywOo heavely beats s1mple. It's playoff ratings, he had 1.34 in 2019 while s1mple had 1.30 in 2018.
In 2019, s1mple's playoff ratings were 1.24 rating in 28 maps while ZywOo had 1.34 rating in 44 maps.
SO :
-ZywOo playoff ratings in 2019 > s1mple's playoff ratings in 2018 ( 0.04 rating diff)
-ZywOo playoff rating in 2019 > s1mple's playoff ratings in 2019 ( 0.10 rating diff)
Talking about "peaks" is vague. It depends on what you value more. If you value more playoffs then ZywOo might have been more impressive. If you value group stages and all overall stats without filters then s1mple was more impressive.
That's what I'm saying this is vague, without arguments ( I had to provide them myself for him even) since ZywOo had 1.30 rating 2.0 (0.04 lower which means he did way worse in group stages than in playoffs) in 2019 against s1mple 1.33 rating 2.0 in 2018 ( which means the opposite, he's done worse in playoffs but way better in group stages).
Though, it's interesting concerning HLTV's ranking history books, how is that relevant to 2020 again?
Here you go with your "blind hating". Don't put me in the same category as you. I always provide matter to the claims I make.
no answer of course.

The pros said it, and hltv is about to say it. Can we finally get rid of this shitty discussion? I liked it more when it was between teams.

Well it's over in 2 days. It's not like posting it now isn't relevant. I never did this besides for this hltv top 20 and I probably won't do it again since fanboys keep trashtalking me instead so the thread isn't a real discussion, it's just hate. I should have foreseen with this kind of thread though, that's on me.
But nobody talks about what pros value like Olof and Guardian say why they would pick ZywOo, that could have been interesting since they develop their strain of thoughts but nope, better trash talk me because PROS have opinions which do not suit their taste. Whatever, what did I expect with mentionning s1mple's name is like opening the pandora box.
So many mad s1mple fanboys in comment section under a video.
Such a pathetic thing. With all respect to s1mple, but his fanbase is one of the worst in CS right now.

I do agree, I'm getting so much hate in private messages and on this thread while I literally stated that these videos consider current form of players since both videos are 10 days old at most. Do these videos during Katowice and people will most likely agree s1mple has better form.
Idk s1mple delusional fanboys are not real Na'Vi fans. I love Electronic and in a way I'm glad his fanbase doesn't have a 1/10th of the filth s1mple's fanbase has.
+1
"DISCLAIMER: IGNORE RICHARD LEWIS (he's not a pro so he's off topic and he also doesn't understand anything about the game, leave that hateful sophist aside for now)." that's so cringy lol. butthurt because he doesn't suck zywoo's cock

To me ZywOo is better indeed and I prefer his playstyle/ Vitality's playstyle, where ever did I hide anything ? I just provide arguments to my claims, in terms of stats they're incredibly close this year. From what I discussed with SWARN151, they both have around 1.31 rating playoffs this year so it can go either way.
I still support Na'Vi, this hasn't changed since 2018, I was charmed by Vitality too, a new top 3 team alongside Astralis and of course the youngfrench man ZywOo too. I'm also a fan of dev1ce, I loved watching s1mple in 2018 ( though not really in 2019, Na'Vi struggled a lot but s1mple became more passive and changed playstyle and didn't take risks like someone like ART does, people know it and he still does it).
Not at all, people know I dislike richard lewis :

this is a thread where I talked about why I disliked him and again I provided reasons to my opinion.
Now look at your comments on this thread and you have the gall to say this ?

And under ? You have the gall to say that ?
DID YOU FORGET THE NAME OF THIS THREAD : " PROS ABOUT ZYWOO"
Is RL a gold nova player on CSGO a pro I wonder ?
I dislike him very much, I posted comments on to why on a thread a few days ago because an HLTV user made him banned from reddit again (since he used another account while he was still banned in 2015 because of the hate he spread in the LOL community).
So you think I dismissed his opinion because he said s1mple ? Weird some pros said s1mple and I closed my mouth shut.
I can't believe this. The level of idiotic takes on this thread goes through the roof.
I might want to ask an admin to delete it, I don't want to have an authored thread with that many dumbies who can't post a decent comment. Some people did like SWARN151 but there are too few.
You, on the other thand, you're really a textbook hater? I didn't do anything bad to you now did I ? I just said he didn't provide arguments and you didn't. #54 proves it, even someone QUOTE said " Kill yourself" which I don't support but it just shows you how frustrating your comments were.

your rank doesn't mean you can't judge something better than someone who is better at the game than you. clowns like you only use it to try to invalidate someone's opinion when they have no real arguments about why it's wrong

CHECK NAME OF THE THREAD
The thread is about pros opinions ^^ can you read or are you illiterate on top of being hateful ?
He said his methods were unordotox and talks about a double knife kill in the vent on Nuke. Do you really think he's right ? This is one of the most common thing on Nuke, even Hadji had a 3k knife kills in a pro game earlier in the year and a lot of pros do it, it's also very common in pugs, it's so common in the pro scene that often pros are ready for it so pros don't risk it. Furia wasn't in the pistol round.
It was good to watch, it hyped me up and I really liked how s1mple played against furia, I haven't him seen being this aggressive since late 2018.
But he's wrong on that matter, not only is he not a CSGO player, he's NOT knowledgeable about anything happening inside the server so he has no arguments of authority. Journalist ? (well if you want though he has no diploma) but as an analyst, caster or anything inside the game/server ? Big no.
As a matter of fact, any MM player would have more arguments of authority than him.

"well if you want though he has no diploma" dude you're SOOOOOOO cringy
2 replies
he has no diploma. That's factual, whether he's a journalist or not depends on it. In EU, you can't buy your way through unlike the states.
Imagine saying cringy and talking about cringe. I replied to you while thinking you were a user but you're just a s1mple fanboy so just STFU.
You have no brain. I'm done with cunts like you for today.

"That's factual, whether he's a journalist or not depends on it." He's employed as a journalist and reports on stuff that happens in the scene and is arguably the best at it. Just cause you're butthurt doesn't mean he isn't a journalist. i'm also not a s1mple fanboy, not even a fan. but he is a better player than zywoo

Nice try. A textbook hater saying this, what irony. I already responded to this. You're just ran out of arguments, many people said you were wrong already and yet here you are with your kind, bringing filth into my thread^^
1 reply
I've responded to that claim of yours and you're clearly in the wrong. If you can't see it then nevermind you're free what you believe what you want. I have no care for it. I also saw you spreading hate and lies in other threads concerning the same topic, of course heavely and always in s1mple's favor. While I do prefer ZywOo, I have never stated anything which doesn't get backup with proofs and arguments.
1 reply
who knows? I don't think he's that petty. All I know is that ZywOo is a dev1ce fan.
as players:
s1mple is a better individual and can carry games harder than zywoo can
but zywoo is the better player all around. you never see s1mple playing b anchor on ct side. he forces deagle armor on ecos and had boombl4/flamie/perfecto drop him an awp on buy rounds. he also doesnt give up the primary awping role to a teammate. zywoo also takes more initiatives on t side and imo is a better rifler than s1mple
overall, i think zywoo deserves #1 more but s1mple will probably get it judging by how hltvs doing their top 20 this year
4 replies
"he also doesnt give up the primary awping role to a teammate" ??? s1mple was literally a full time rifler with guardian on the team. and as if zywoo didn't get awp drops. "you never see s1mple playing b anchor on ct side" for an obvious reason, he has to carry way harder than zywoo and make up for his teammates' fault across almost all of the map, he can't afford to stay in one place for all of the round.

EDIT: If you want to have fun, make fun of me trying to answer s1mple delusional fanboys like "Afloure" or "LULW_ KEKW" I responded like I would to a normal user. How wrong of me it was. You have to handle filth with filthy methods, ignoring them or proving they're wrong.

If You actually read even 50% of my comment you'd see that im a zywoo fanboy but what ever fits You and your perfect world sweetycake
I even explained to you exactly why zywoo is a better teamplayer, teammate, and what is the reason as to why he wont be able to get #1, The only reason I'm argueing with you is cus you're blindly hating a player thats definitely gonna be above your precious boyfriend this year

I have no care if you are biased or not, if you're a ZywOo/s1mple fan or not, I need your arguments clearly for you to convince me, everyone is a subject, everyone is bias, it doesn't stop you from providing and noticing objective qualities and arguments. Maybe we got off on the wrong foot or something so let's try again. Give me your comment (answer to this comment) and I'll tell you what I think about it.
Sounds honest no ? I don't even know what you're trying to prove anymore . that s1mple is better or who is going to get number 1 ? It can go either way tbh.
I mean I've already done that with people who put well-structured paragraphs like SWARN151 who did a case for each player, gotten into contact with users and HLTV staff through users about notable stats etc. So I've reviewed and respected a lot of people's opinions for the both of them. I already said that to me ZywOo is #1, that's my bias, I provide arguments and don't hide it, but I certainly won't dismiss any good argument in s1mple's favor (his stats, etc are all factual and depend on tourneys you value or exclude). s1mple and ZywOo are both contenders for the top #1 hltv. Denying it would what a delusional hater would do. I have never done that like the s1mple fanboys on the thread harassing me because their views don't align with some pros who answered this question a few days ago.

LOL nt NA ^^ it has nothing to do with this. Also RL cheated on CSS ^^ he already got exposed on that and now he's milking on braindeads like you who watch his content who what ? On cheaters ! Who would have thought.
I don't like him, what does it have to do with you btw ?
Imagine hating anyone. But he's the one deserving such a treatment the most. The epitome of a manchild mentally still in his teens.
