NiKo: «S1mple is definitely not the same player as he was, I think he lost a bit of confidence»
The player of G2 Esports, Nikola NiKo Kovač, commented on the current form of the sniper of Natus Vincere, Oleksandr s1mple Kostyliev. The Bosnian esports athlete noted that the Ukrainian will eventually improve his individual game.
In the last six months, s1mple has been looking rather unstable. Kostyliev can destroy opponents on one map, but completely fail on the next. The Ukrainian sniper has started to miss more shots with the AWP, as well as show excessive emotions towards his teammates during matches.
s1mple's individual stats for the last six months
He is definitely not the same player as he was, I think he lost a bit of confidence… it just shows when the team is not functioning, how much it can impact on your individual level as well. I think that's what he is going through right now. I think he will bounce back sooner than later.Nikola NiKo Kovač
