Many people don’t know this, but s1mple put his entire career on the line long before he was the best CS:GO player in the world.
s1mple was born in Ukraine, a hotbed of Counter-Strike talent, and quickly rose through the local ranks as a young prodigy, earning a spot on Hellraisers in late 2014.
Unfortunately for s1mple, his incredible rise also gave him an incredible ego.
With his career on the brink, s1mple took a massive risk and moved to NA, a decision that
changed his life, and Counter-Strike as a whole, forever.

Now this is the old school, the score video style that I've missed.
Really? I thought the Interview with dimi felt kinda... cringe? Like it feels like they try to act like it wasn't preplanned what they say but it so obviously feels like a full on script.
@@Schluviel Tru
@@Schluviel hella cringe tbh. Haha.
@@Schluviel nah it aight
@@Schluviel oh I ment the topic there covering. Yeah the video was a bit mif
I was introduced to this channel with all the "Story of..." videos and am glad to feel the same vibe for this video as I did with the OG ones
Right?? Shit felt different back in the days.
This is what I want from theScore, they need to do this more!
Yes but goddamn let that women talk or remove her. Sorry but she is just sitting there watching the two dudes discuss
@@Kobrick_ she did talk?
Agree
been waiting for this for SO LONG! the amount of effort you put into this is insane! it's a full on documentary! never found a video this detailed about the goat
This episode's featured cocktail is the Kraken's Keep.
Recipe:
1.5 part Kraken® Gold Spiced Rum
.5 part Fresh-squeezed Orange juice
2 part Fresh Pineapple juice
1 pinch Gold Luster Dust
Build over crushed ice in a rocks glass, and stir well. Garnish with two long orange peels, a pineapple spear, and a torched cinnamon stick.
One of your best videos as of late, happy you guys got a sponsorship also if that means this kind of content is making a comeback 😍
This mini doc are the best of the best of you guys thanks to revive them, I know that make this require a lot of work but god damn how awesome videos are.
Wouldn't be a theScore esports video without coldzera jumping AWP lol.
Awesome video, I love this format!
Great video! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ Thank you for publishing it! Watched it In full and really enjoyed each and every moment of it.
The fact that freak had to apologize for "bullying" to the biggest bully in CS is hilarious.
I think neither one were bullies, legit was shit talk and the orgs were soft.
Bro played it in eminem style
this is the wildest rum commercial i've ever seen
How does everyone feel about the new show? Digging it? Anybody you want to DEFINITELY see an episode on?

Twistzz, NA's Guardian Angel
i LOVE this style of video! Keep this great content up!
An episode on Get_Right would be dope. Not a single cs fan dislikes the guy, he IS cs. With a almost two decade long career, there is a lot of history to dig into. He is also surely down to get interviewed in-depth.
ive watched simple since the good days and bad days hes a real goat for doing his best and not giving up
Love this video ! The background score is underrated
What an era it was for NA cs. Cadian, karrigan, s1mple, amanek, dephh, gob b and legija all in NA. Not to even mention the whole optic team.
This is a great video, the sponsor is super subtle as well which i love ;)
always love seeing danny i love watching his top10 videos
this is great! feels like a mini docxumentary on S1mple I love it :D keep up the amazing work :)
Love this video style! Crushed it per usual
Amazing production value, can't wait for more stories!
god it's so silly that theScore needs to do interviews with their own employees because nobody who's credible wants to be taken out of context like Karrigan
What happened?
Also like the Interview is a script bc dimi acts so uncomfortable "on the line" with his answers. Thats prewritten and i can hear it in every sentence!
God it's actually interviewing ur own family about Barack life and childhood and have them talk out their ass it's lowk so silly
That shit happened literally years ago, tf are you talking about dude?
god it's so silly that ESPN needs to do interviews with their own basketball experts/historians
Quality content, the production value is 'chef's kiss'!
the score ready to make their 100th s1mple video
I wish this channel covered more games. There are more esports than CSGO and League.
@@fredlee690 Can't blame them, I mean csgo scene is the most exciting to watch.
@@whatsbrosayin so true, I'm addicted to csgo
with 1000th coldz flying awp
Really love ‚the stories of player x‘ videos. Thanks for the nice vid!
This is so good! Thanks for this video everyone.
7:37 Hiko did know, but Hiko is also the most calm soul in the world to counter balance that toxicity
the other reason why s1mple coming to NA was such a big deal is because this was before the Faze Clan super team era. In the early days of CS GO aside from Eastern Europe it was really rare to see teams break their nationality and sign players from other countries. I didn't know anything about s1mple but when I saw Liquid signed a kid from across the world I knew he had to be something special.
I have missed these types of videos from the score !
and the "Why you bully me?" was born
Absolutly OG Show
This sponsor-ads are great. No need to skip makes the sponsor way more interesting
if there was one esports star i'd want to see a movie about their life it'd be simple. his story is seriously amazing.
completely unrelated but that product placement was super effective all i could think about was that drink then kept showing and then i remebered it was kracken whisky
hope they paid them double for this sponsorship
I love the 3rd Strike machine in the background
You only learn when you suffer and this is what happened with s1mple which helped him to become the greatest player of all f*** time.
Liquid was to s1mple, what your first proper girlfriend is to you. She sorts you out, makes you mature and turns you into a better man… for your future gfs lmao
I think in reallity the first real love relationship shapes both gf and bf the most
that's such an uncomfortably misogynistic way of looking at relationships... jeez. your girlfriend is not your mom!
Its a joke but its common occurrence
@@LauraLovesHugs In a large amount of cases first relationships don't end well but they teach both parties how relationships work
@commandershiniezi t applies to both parties. A girls first serious boyfriend straightens them out and makes them a more mature and better person for their future boyfriends.
Its not misogynistic, it's just life. Unless you wanna say you should be as emotionally close to your mother as you are to your girlfriend, in which case, the fuck?
damn this is a nice change of video, a video that is not recorded inside a bedroom
It was about efing time yall dropped these videos 😤😤
surprisingly good video, i like this format
One of the best video formats on the score Channel ❤
Love this format, cannot wait for more!
i love all the hosts but having watched Danny since the MostAmazingTop10 days, im most excited when i see he hosts videos like this
Did love the documentary though! Bring those back!
These sets are pretty good damn
I need a Jabbi video
The guy is the silent killer, putting up monstruous numbers be nevers gets talked about
Give him some love guys I beg
This is thescores forte, great content!
S1mple is the easy GOAT pick.
"Thats not allowed, this is a major!" Legendary moment
Do a video on ENCE winning a trophy for the first time since Madrid 2019!!! 💛🖤
This is not FPL, this is a Major!
You should talk about B1ad3 in CSGO. B1ad3 is most underated person that need to get a documentary.
The budget has gone up
Dude actually wearing 4 rings unironically. 🤣
yea why not tho?
the tentacles in the intro/transitions gotta go 🤣
man I love top 10 most amazing
I really enjoyed this style of video making. Twas S1mple but perfect
I comment to help statistics
3:57 not Kiev but Kyiv
salute to theScore esport by making this video!
I miss videos of these format
Fortunately he has already matured, it was a long path till the last mayor when woro2k humiliated him, i think he has matured and dont have any toxic ego left
Absolutely great video! Loved it.
I thought vac bans were permanent and never knew sinple got banned o.o
This is a great video. Good job.
Og score is back? Niceeeee
I really feel sorry for that poor hostage girl.... someone help her out pls
They really forgot about Asia, Africa, Australia
and antarctica
@@nikolas7715 Asia may be better now but they were not better back in 2016 when s1mple joined Liquid. They had TYLOO and that was it. There were 4 solid NA teams in 2016: C9, Liquid, OpTic, and CLG.
Love this style!
Excellent video! Great panel! Do more like this!
In the old days, everyone in the bar would have called this guy a freaking nerd then beat him up for talking about geek stuff
The Kraken rum sponsor is sick!
Dont compare asia to na. Na has so many orgs who are investing in them still they aren't able to perform whereas on the other hand asia doesn't have orgs who are ready to invest in eSports but the talent is immense here.
I get what you’re saying but Asia has not produced a good CS team in the entirety of CSGO. Whereas Brazil with barely any reputable orgs at the beginning came out with world contenders. Let’s just both be realistic here
@@nikolas7715 not even close lmao. 1. EU 2. CIS 3. BR 4. NA 5. ? 6. ? 7. Asia
@@nikolas7715 how many majors and grand slams does Asia have ?
@@Kyle-se4uw In CSGO, Asia > NA.
In Val, NA > Asia.
@@LukeSawardMusic are you high? Asia is literally at the bottom of CS. No Asian team have even made it to the playoffs of a major in CS. Relax
loving this new video style and totally agree with it! Simple is a legend of this game
It was all true, he was insanely toxic back then. It really seems like the evolution began with a veteran player pushing back on his nonsense like adreN. TL org did make one mistake when he moved to NA, he lived only with the LoL guys at their house, so he was only with the guys at events. During the MLG major I was in the stands for the Coldzera moment. What many may have not noticed was S1mple becoming tilted some rounds, and playing too aggressively. Challenging mid/window on Mirage when he didn't have to, and then on Cache he pushed mid/highway and Taco plucks him, then wraps into B-Main and has a crucial round win for his team. Eventually Zeus got a chance to work with him and really reigned in his maturation within the EU scene. We have seen him come a long way.
this is a very interesting concept
I like the format here, but I also don't mind the "new format". Someone just needs to get Dimitri a wider lens. Dude's face doesn't need to be so damn big in frame when he moves it so much.
And now we can see that he actually hasn't changed at all.
didnt know Asia and OCE were better than na with their 0 majors 0 IGS
I think it’s kinda unfair for OCE. Didn’t they not have Oceania servers for a long time?
@@geekerandy8773 I started playing in late 2014 and the servers were in place then.
@@weagles_fan7467 huh, I could’ve sworn…alright
MORE OF THIS
That host reminded me of Spunj, uncanny similarity...... obviously the accent is miles apart.
I want "the story of Forsaken" really missed that man
HAHA, this one would be fun. but the weird thing I have read in this week about his account on Liquipedia was that the account will be playable again on the VAC server on 2024-09-19.
i almost pass out reading the title wtf
oh man i love kraken, tastes great
we need a story of liquid adren
1 in his name number 1 in the game👍
Were they really not able to interview from anyone from that era to talk about s1mple 😂 feels weird that dimitri has to be the "guest" to interview about s1mple. Like steve perino, liquid's team manager.
Moral of the story: You must be toxic in order to understand toxicity.
Waiting for s1mple's toxicity part 2❤
Reading the first few words of the title, I thought I can't read
s1mple is the stereotype shit talker hahaha
i love it so much :D
OLD SCHOOL
Into the dark about hbox or leffen?
is there continue
MURICANs still malding over jumping double from cold after 8 years is sweet as was back in the day 🥰
he lookalike real goat now
Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev the Steve Jobs of csgo game.
"Here we come once again, the first face is AdreN is gonna hit the ground there is Cold..." Yes, the brazilians.
We need The Story of tabseN
bro is the embodiment of haaland cousin
Apparently ranked Asian CS over NA CS💀
You Put the Skull Emoji As If It Isn't True.
OCE too lmao
@@leverball3357 how many Asian teams have won a major
Mongolz/IHC carried Asian cs in their back rn
Apparently ranked pond scum > you and your fam ;)
Ego? Nah that’s just a true man in his full form
Lmaoo
The GOAT
wow i dint know Danny Burke was an alchoholic, i guess the score is alright with it
