The CS:GO community was abuzz when Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyljev joined Falcons on loan from Natus Vincere. However, his stint with the team proved short-lived, prompting questions about what led to his departure.
Pavle “maden” Bošković, a player for Falcons, provided insights into why the collaboration with the legendary player didn’t work out as expected.
Role Clashes and Challenges
Maden revealed that while the prospect of having s1mple on the team was exciting, role clashes presented significant obstacles. S1mple’s proficiency with the AWP and hybrid playstyle conflicted with the team’s existing setup, particularly with SunPayus occupying the AWPer role.
This overlap made it difficult for s1mple to find his footing within the team dynamics, ultimately contributing to his departure.
Return to Stability with Dupreeh
Following s1mple’s departure, Falcons sought to stabilize their roster by signing Peter “dupreeh” Rasmussen. Maden highlighted dupreeh’s wealth of experience and adaptability as key factors in revitalizing the team’s morale and performance. Since dupreeh’s arrival, Falcons has seen significant improvements, both in terms of gameplay and team dynamics.

Conclusion
S1mple’s brief stint with Falcons highlighted role conflicts within the team, leading to his departure. However, Falcons quickly regrouped with the addition of dupreeh, whose experience and adaptability revitalized the squad. Now, with renewed focus and cohesion, Falcons aims to make a strong impression in EPL Season 19 under dupreeh’s leadership.
