Natus Vincere CS:GO Player s1mple Reveals The Real Problem With GuardiaN

Oleksandr Olegovych Kostyliev, known as “s1mple,” is a 22-year-old Ukranian CS:GO player who has been considering one of the greatest players of all time. Since August 2016, he has been playing for Natus Vincere.

During the conversation with hltv.org, s1mple revealed the real problem that Ladislav “GuardiaN” Kovács has and why he actually left the team. As s1mple stated in, GuardiaN had some psychological problems.

hltv.org asked:

“Is it true that in the last year you were forcing the removal of Edward and Zeus?”

s1mple replied:

“No, I didn’t force anything on my own, Edward was removed by the entire team. He trained a lot but lacked that extra something. The issue was psychological in nature and he wasn’t able to work it out. GuardiaN was going through a similar situation, and only the player himself is able to deal with the issue.”

He added:

“As for Danya (Zeus), he lost motivation to play himself, saying he’d leave after one tournament or another. We didn’t understand what to do in that situation; there were conflicts and canceled practice sessions. I just waited for a time when our team would be able to practice consistently, when everyone would have clarity and people would be fired up for the sessions. Currently, for example, things are a lot clearer in terms of training and preparation in comparison to back then.”
