S1mple CS2 Settings

Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev was born on October 2, 1997. The 26-year-old is currently on the bench for Natus Vincere (NAVI). While he’s currently taking a break from competitive play, s1mple is by many considered to be the best Counter-Strike (CS) player of all time, a claim supported by his many achievements as a player.

As a pro CS player, s1mple has won a Major, an Intel Grand Slam, and many more top-tier tournaments. He has also won multiple performance-based awards such as the Major MVP award, and reached the number one position in HLTV’s “Best Player of the Year'' list three times, being one of the top 20 players 8 times total.

Leading up to the launch of CS2, s1mple was very vocal about the underlying issues the game is facing when it comes to crashes, lag issues, and changes made to the AWP - not believing the game was ready for an international launch yet. When the game eventually launched, s1mple decided to take an extended break from competitive play and instead focused on creating his own educational course on how to become a better CS player. Despite his reservations about the game, s1mple still plays it and occasionally streams the gameplay on his Twitch channel.

In this article, we’re taking a look at s1mple’s CS2 settings, giving you an insight into his video settings, crosshair, mouse settings, gear, and more.
