Many people don’t know this, but s1mple put his entire career on the line long before he was the best CS:GO player in the world. 

s1mple was born in Ukraine, a hotbed of Counter-Strike talent, and quickly rose through the local ranks as a young prodigy, earning a spot on Hellraisers in late 2014. 

Unfortunately for s1mple, his incredible rise also gave him an incredible ego. 

With his career on the brink, s1mple took a massive risk and moved to NA, a decision that changed his life, and Counter-Strike as a whole, forever.
