Skilled Nutmegs to Inhuman Reactions: Brazilian Legend Neymar and FPS Veteran S1mple Link Up for Some CS:GO Games

Every Counter-Strike: Global Offensive fan knows how deadly Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev is with a sniper rifle. Considering his CS:GO legend status, s1mple has fans all around the world. But one fan among them also has a legend status, although in soccer.

Currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar has been a long-time fan of the NAVI player. Neymar even consoled s1mple over his loss against Furia in Rio Major 2022. Recently, both sensations were seen dominating a CS:GO lobby together.

Neymar and S1mple finally meet in person

In an interview with Logitech from February 15, the NAVI superstar talked about famous celebrities who follow him. “Who else? Neymar. Yeah, he invited me to come to Paris, but I don’t have the time really,” he said. Well now, it looks like both Neymar and s1mple took time out from their busy schedules and met in person. Both of the legends met during the IEM Rio 2023, and they also queued some LAN matches together. And surprisingly, Neymer held his own among the high-level lobbies.

Neymar is not only a fan of CS:GO tournaments but also an avid gamer himself. He has started his Twitch channel and streams CS:GO on it. The soccer pro has regularly invited players like ZywOo, shox, and yuurih on his stream as well. This meetup was only possible for Neymar due to his unfortunate injury. He had injured his ankle in mid-February and got surgery in March.

s1mple has commented at Virtus.pro for changing a player in the middle of the European RMR. He had posted a series of voice messages on his telegram channel for this legal yet unfair change.

“I think they acted like pieces of sh*t,” s1mple said. “To change a player before an elimination match in a qualifier for a Major, pick up a sub, buy him tickets and still f*** up,” he further added.
