Popular Counter-Strike pro player Oleksandr Olehovych Kostyliev, aka s1mple, is seemingly not happy with a sportsperson. The latter is none other than the professional British boxer Anthony Joshua. The reason why s1mple is annoyed with Anthony is due to what the boxer recently said regarding the situation in Ukraine. As is already known, there’s a conflict going on between Russia and the European nation. GAMER S1MPLE DOESN’T LIKE ANTHONY JOSHUA IGNORING UKRAINE Being a Ukrainian, it’s obvious that s1mple [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-csgo-s1mple-team-take-revenge-on-faze-clan-after-major-loss-of-teammate/] feels a lot about his country and never shies away from expressing his thoughts on everything going around in the world. The current state of the nation is surely not good, to say the least. READ MORE: From Call of Duty to a Plague Tale – Every Major Xbox Title Releasing in October 2022! [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-from-call-of-duty-to-a-plague-tale-every-major-xbox-title-releasing-in-october-2022/] Now the British boxer Anthony Joshua [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-anthony-joshuas-relationship-status-is-he-secretly-married/] recently fought against Ukraine’s star Oleksandr Usyk [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-please-take-away-that-judges-license-boxing-world-reacts-as-oleksandr-usyk-defeats-anthony-joshua-in-their-rematch/] in a heavyweight title rematch. The latter won the match while also successfully retaining his world title. After the fight, though, Joshua said that he’s not aware of what’s actually happening in Ukraine right now. To many, it felt like he ignored commenting on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. “I’ve never been there. What’s happening there, I don’t know but it’s not nice,” said [https://opoyi.com/sports/anthony-joshua-slammed-for-dont-know-whats-happening-in-ukraine-comment-post-oleksandr-usyk-bout-731040/] Joshua. Among those who were furious at his words was s1mple. He later posted a tweet [https://twitter.com/s1mpleO/status/1561139214330531840?s=20&t=T2Llg4oFmXJZUUlt_3HzDA] on his account, while tagging the British boxer. The NAVI member was seriously in shock and disbelief after what Joshua said regarding his nation. To put it straight, s1mple couldn’t believe that someone like Anthony Joshua would say that in order to be safe from commenting on anything controversial. Per the CS:GO pro player, this was like ignoring reality. Hence, he literally expressed his anger towards the two-time former unified world heavyweight champion in the tweet. While whatever Joshua said may be purely unintentional, many people haven’t appreciated his words. That’s exactly what can be seen in s1mple’s tweet as well. What are your thoughts on this entire situation? Do you think the NAVI player’s way of calling out the British boxer publicly on social media was correct? Let us know your views in the comments down below.

<h2>CS:GO 2021 - Ranks, Tournaments, Pro Players, and System Requirements</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-522863" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210121205412/71rVqrAy5QL._SL1500_-1-2-1.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="844" />

Counter-Strike is well-known among a number of gamers. Unlike a lot of early shooter games like Call of Duty, there is no story mode. Instead, players are dropped on a random or previously chosen map in multiplayer games. The latest game is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO).

Developed by Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment, CS: GO is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game. The game released for PC, OS X, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in August 2012. Later in 2014, the developers launched the Linux version.

The game pits two teams against each other, with the objective of eliminating the other. In addition to that, teams also have to complete separate objectives depending on the game mode. Teams either have to plant or defuse the bomb, or defend or rescue the hostages. Each specific game mode has distinct characteristics and there are nine such modes in total.
<h2>History of CS: GO</h2>
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is the fourth game in the iconic Counter-Strike series. Since Counter-Strike: Source, the previous title, was approaching the end of its lifespan, Hidden Path Entertainment began working towards porting the game onto video game consoles. Hence, initial development began, and Valve spotted the opportunity to transform the port into an entire game while expanding on the gameplay.

CS: GO entered into development in March 2010. In August 2011, the existence of the upcoming game was revealed to fans. Finally, at E3 2012, Valve announced the August 2012 release date for their game. The developers had initially planned for CS: GO cross-play between the platforms. However, they decide to separate the platforms in favor of offering constant updates for players on PC, keeping all platforms reliable individually. Ultimately, on August 21, 2012, the game underwent a launch.

CS: GO has remained one of the most popular FPS games as an estimated 11 million players per month. The game also has an active and diverse competitive scene, hosting some of the most prominent esports tournaments. With the massive surge of battle royales into the online gaming scene, Valve introduced a CS: GO battle royale game mode known as Danger Zone in 2018.
<h2>CS:GO teams and pro players</h2>
In the United States, CS: GO is regarded as a highly popular online video game. Since the game operates on a team basis, players can join teams or create new ones.

The likes of Astralis, Natus Vincere, Mousesports, fnatic, G2 Esports, Evil Geniuses, Team Liquid, and 100 Thieves are some of the most well-known names. Others include FaZe Clan, Team Vitality, Ninja in Pyjamas, FURIA Esports, MIBR, and Cloud9, to name a few.

Of course, lots of CS:GO players like to strike out on their own, or go down the lone wolf route. Some of the best-known CS: GO eSports players are, Magisk, gla1ve, dupreeh, device, and Xyp9x. These players all play under the Astralis tag.

Natus Vincere includes the likes of, Perfecto, Boombl4, electronic, s1mple, and flamie. Meanwhile, Mousesports boasts of the likes of woxic, frozen, chrisJ, ropz, and karrigan.

Finally, fnatic includes gamers like Brolan, flusha, golden, JW, and Krimz. Other important players include GeT_RiGhT, olofmeister, Stewie2k, n0thing, Twistzz, KennyS, coldzera, and forest.
<h2>CS:GO tournaments in 2021</h2>
There are even numerous tournaments held across the world. Some of them are, SL Masters Espana, FACEIT Major, ELeague Premier, ESL One Belo Horizonte, Dreamhack Tours, ESL Pro League VII: Finals, IEM XIII: Sydney, ESLOne BeloHorizonte LATAM.

Although the competitive esports scene was hugely impacted by the worldwide pandemic in 2020, there are still a lot of competitive tournaments lined up in the coming months and even 2021. These include both S-Tier CS: GO Tournaments as well as CS: GO Major Championships.

Prestigious S-Tier Tournaments are held by well-established organizations that feature the best teams from all over the world and have an outstanding prize pool on offer. Meanwhile, Major Championships are special events sponsored by Valve themselves and also feature a huge prize pool. Quite a few important tournaments are lined up for 2020-21.

Some of the most significant tournaments include BLAST Premier: Fall 2020, Flashpoint, IEM XV: Global Challenge, IEM XV: World Championship, Dreamhack Masters 2021, ESL Pro League Season 13. Others include BLAST Premier: Global 2020, ESL One: Cologne, CS: GO Major Championship Spring 2021 &amp; Fall 2021, ESL Pro League 14, etc.
<h2>Is it possible to play CS:GO without Steam?</h2>
Since December 2018, Valve has made CS: GO free to play on Steam. Therefore, it doesn't seem plausible to undergo the tedious process of playing a pirated version. One can simply create a Steam account, download the game and play it on the official servers for free.

Players who had purchased the game before it transitioned into a free-to-play model, were upgraded to Prime Status. Meanwhile, free accounts are non-Prime. Those interested can purchase the Prime Status on Steam and become eligible to receive Prime-exclusive item drops, weapons cases, and more.
<h2>Minimum CS: GO system requirements</h2>
The minimum Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) requirements for Microsoft Windows are as follows:

<strong>Operating System:</strong> The game can run on Windows XP 32-bit, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

<strong>Processor:</strong> Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X3 8750 processor or better.

<strong>RAM:</strong> 2 GB memory

<strong>Graphics Card:</strong> Video card must be 256 MB or more. Also, it should be DirectX 9-compatible with support for Pixel Shader 3.0. The GeForce 6600 and Radeon x1300 should fit the minimum video card requirement.

Anthony Joshua

ANTHONY JOSHUA Anthony Joshua: Net Worth 2024, Height, Age, Record, Endorsements, and More Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua or &#8216;AJ&#8217; as fans fondly call him has seen a meteoric to stardom in the heavyweight division. TheÂ two-timeÂ unified heavyweight champion has seen a lot of success ever since his professional debut in July 2013. Other than the traditional juggernauts of the heavyweight division like Mohammed Ali andÂ Mike Tyson, only a handful have had more success and have dominated the international boxing scene like the Englishman. He has successfully amassed a series ofÂ accoladesÂ over the course of his career. &#8216;AJ&#8217; won the IBF title in 2016, the WBA (Super) title in 2017, the WBO in March 2018, the IBO title in 2017, and the British and Commonwealth title at the regional level from 2014 to 2016. Athletics has always been AJ&#8217;s strength, from soccer to track and field. He has always been a prodigy. Joshua attempted to try his hand at boxing at the age of 18 after taking his cousin&#8217;s advice. Who is Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua holds the prestigious title of being a former unified world heavyweight champion. His journey in the boxing world began in his late teens, transitioning from a footballer and athlete to a formidable boxer. Joshuaâ€™s transformation from a troubled teenager to a heavyweight professional is a testament to his determination and resilience. His physical prowess and skill led him to an undefeated streak during his amateur career, culminating in a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Joshuaâ€™s meteoric rise from the amateur ranks to world championships has solidified his reputation as a powerful puncher and a formidable opponent. Out of the six heavyweight belts globally, Joshua has previously conquered four holding them all at the same time, underscoring his dominance in the sport. His achievements and persona led him to be a contender for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, further cementing his place in the annals of boxing history. Anthony Joshua&#8217;s Early Life Anthony Joshua was born â€˜Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshuaâ€™ on October 15, 1989, in Watford, Hertfordshire, UK. However, he spent a part of his childhood in his parentâ€™s home country, Nigeria. His mother, Yeta Odusanya, is Nigerian, and his father, Robert Joshua, is part Nigerian and part Irish. He went to school in a Nigerian town called Ikene. He was 12 years old when his parents split, and his mother decided to move back. AJ returned to Watford to attend Kings Langley Secondary School. He was nicknamed &#8216;Femi&#8217; by his friends and teachers because of his middle name &#8216;Oluwafemi&#8217;. Upon joining Kings Langley Secondary School, Anthony Joshua inclined towards sports and doubled down in that domain. SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND &#8211; MARCH 21: Anthony Joshua trains during a media workout at the English Institute of Sport on March 21, 2018 in Sheffield, England. (Photo by Alex Livesey/Getty Images) The former champion excelled at football and athletics while growing up and showed great promise as a sprinter when he broke the 100m record where he completed the run in 11.6 seconds. Joshua grew up in Meriden Estate in Garston, Hertfordshire. The area was infamous for its crimes and drug problems. Growing up in this region, he found himself caught up in fights and all sorts of troubles as a teenager. Before being absorbed by boxing, he worked as a bricklayer. His cousin, Ben Lleyemi, took him to the Finchley Amateur Boxing Club in Barnet. This proved to be a turning point as he soon began training as a boxer here. Anthony Joshuaâ€™s Girlfriend and Children As of early 2024, Joshua doesn&#8217;t appear to be in a romantic relationship. Fans have continued to be curious about the star&#8217;s dating life throughout his career, despite the boxer keeping his private life out of the spotlight. In 2022 AJ&#8217;s supporters were sent into a frenzy when he made an appearance at a UFC show in London wearing what looked like a wedding ring. It was later revealed, however, that the piece of jewelry was actually a Â£300 Oura Ring &#8211; a hi-tech fitness tracker. AJ has been linked to a number of famous women since embarking on his sporting career, including supermodels Cara Delevingne and Bella Hadid. In October 2023 the boxer dismissed rumors of any A-list flings that have hit the headlines, saying: &#8220;I havenâ€™t actually been with any of those girls, by the way.&#8221; AJ then admitted that he was dating, but nobody famous. He said: &#8220;Iâ€™ve had girlfriends, but you could be in the local supermarket or in the local petrol station when we meet.&#8221;Â  Joshua himself once said he doesn&#8217;t have a lot of time for girlfriends, and couldn&#8217;t see himself settling down until his boxing career is over. He once said, &#8220;If people can ride with me for the next 10 to 12 years I would really appreciate it, but if they can&#8217;t foresee the future I&#8217;d rather they jump off the boat because I can&#8217;t stop for no one right now.&#8221; One former girlfriend who does play a significant part in AJ&#8217;s life is Nicole Osbourne, the mother of his son, named Joseph Bayley Temiloluwa Prince Joshua, affectionately nicknamed â€œJJâ€. JJ was born in October 2015 to Joshua and his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Osbourne. At present, Joseph is 7 years old. Joshua and Osbourne share custody of Joseph and maintain an amicable relationship. They are often seen together at public events. It was reported at the time that Joshua had bought a Â£500,000 flat in Finchley, North London for his son and ex-girlfriend. Although Anthony and Nicole are not in a relationship, the star has showered the mother of his son with praise. Speaking to Louis Theroux in the documentary maker&#8217;s BBC Two series, Anthony said: â€œShe&#8217;s an amazing woman, you know. We got together in 2005, we were about 15 or 16 years old. I have so much respect for her.&#8221; Anthony Joshuaâ€™s Net Worth 2024 34-year-old, AJ comes with a grand career record of 27-3. Ever since his debut in 2013, heâ€™s been under a promotional contract with Eddie Hearnâ€™s Matchroom Boxing. Their alliance has led to the fighter booking some of the most lucrative matchups of this era. For instance, his two-loss fights against Ukrainian fighter, Usyk in the years 2021-22, got him a combined total of about $100 million. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ots2-8Dxfl8&amp;ab_channel=DAZNBoxing His first Andy Ruiz fight from 2019, which he lost, earned him about $25 million. However, in the same year, for their rematch, which he won, he hit the jackpot by taking home close to $60 million. Last year, from the three fights he undertook, his Riyadh clash against Otto Wallin came to him with a victory and an additional $10 million. The Londoner, who has a massive following throughout his social media accounts is also said to be earning tens of thousands of dollars per month via endorsements. He has signed with brands like Lucozade, Under Armour, Hugo Boss, Land Rover, and Jaguar. As per records, his net worth as of December last year stands at a whopping $100 million. READ:?Â Anthony Joshua: All Video Game Appearances Anthony Joshua: Career Timeline Boxing under the promotional banner of Matchroom Boxing, Joshua burst onto the professional scene in 2013. He took on Emanuele Leo and beat him in the first round at the O2 Arena in London. Ring MagazineÂ named Joshua The Prospect of the Year, just a year after his emergence in the professional boxing circuit. JoshuaÂ bagged a silver in the World Championship back in 2011, which got the ball rolling for the Londoner. However,Â heÂ became a star when heÂ wonÂ the Gold Medal at the 2012 London Olympics against former World Champion, Roberto Cammarelle. Joshua conceded the onlyÂ defeatÂ of his career at the hands ofÂ Andy Ruiz Jr.Â The loss actively stripped him of all his titles. However, AJ overcame Ruiz in a rematch in 2019 andÂ reclaimedÂ his lost treasures, simultaneously becoming the two-time heavyweight champion of the world.

After Pulev, Joshua set himself up for one of the biggest upsets in boxing history when he went against Oleksandr Usyk on September 25, 2021. Joshua faced the highly skilled Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Usyk presented a formidable challenge with his technical proficiency and slick movement. Despite Joshua&#8217;s efforts, Usyk outboxed him throughout the fight, resulting in a unanimous decision victory for Usyk. This defeat marked a setback for Joshua losing him the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight belts, and also added an intriguing chapter to his career. Determined to regain his title again, he activated the rematch clause and went up against Usyk a second time on August 20, 2022. In their highly anticipated rematch, Usyk once again emerged victorious, securing a split-decision win over Joshua. The fight added another chapter to their rivalry and raised questions about Joshua&#8217;s future in the heavyweight division. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yQ1jippKqU&amp;ab_channel=DAZNBoxing After those defeats, he returned to the winning ways, defeating Jermaine Franklin Jr. and Robert Helenius, the latter by KO. In December, he went up against Swedish Heavyweight Otto Wallin on the Day of Reckoning card in Saudi Arabia. Anthony Joshua put on a career reinvigorating performance against Wallin by smashing him with powerful jabs that forced his corner to throw in the towel in round 5 ending the fight via a TKO. Now after a successful comeback to form in 2023, he now prepares for the Predator, Francis Ngannou in hopes of eventually getting a shot at winning back his titles. Anthony Joshuaâ€™s Contract Joshua made his pro debut in 2013 under the Matchroom banner. A 2012 Olympic gold medalist, Joshua won the IBF heavyweight title in 2016, the WBA and IBO titles in 2017, and the WBO title in 2018. During this time he beat a who&#8217;s who of fighters, including Dillian Whyte, Charles Martin, Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker, and Alexander Povetkin.

(Photo by Ben Hoskins/Getty Images) Apart from his deal with Matchroom Boxing which is his official promotion, AJ also has an ongoing long-term deal with DAZN. Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua signed an exclusive partnership with DAZN, leaving Sky Sports in the process before his fight with Oleksandr Usyk. The deal included at least two fights a year until his retirement. The deal also saw Joshua becoming a shareholder, special advisor, and brand ambassador for DAZN. He also joined DAZN&#8217;s strategic advisory board for its global expansion of boxing content.

Deals with Lucozade, Under Armour, Hugo Boss, Land Rover, and Jaguar are all worth millions to Joshua and saw him earn a total of Â£8.9m in 2021.
