s1mple: "I tried to imagine us losing, and it was so terrible that I wanted to win even more"

We caught up with Major MVP Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev to hear about the comeback on Nuke and lifting the long-desired trophy.

PGL Major Stockholm winner and Most Valuable Player, NAVI's Aleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev, talked to HLTV.org about finally getting his Major title, creating NAVI's era, and the possibility of taking an extended break following the biggest achievement in his career so far.

s1mple talked about Natus Vincere's recovery from 14-8, saying that they "always told each other that we need to believe in ourselves and we're going to do it," and clarified that his post-Major break won't be happening quite yet.

"No, not really. I want a few months to take care of myself because health is the most important and I feel like I need some time for this. But probably not now. I will try to look for some time while I'm playing.
