S1mple during the Krakow tournament: “I’m sure I could have played better.”

BC.Game Esports rifler Alexander “s1mple” Kostyliev shared his assessment of his individual performance at IEM Kraków 2026 for CS2. The Ukrainian star believes he has room for improvement and needs additional time practicing with his new roster. Kostyliev spoke with HLTV journalists.

[Are you satisfied with your individual form?]

“I don’t know. I’m certain I could perform better. Our team has only been together for two or three weeks. When we’ve had one or two months together, I’ll feel more comfortable—and I’m confident my gameplay will improve.”
