FaZe Clan s1mple Wants to Challenge Team Vitality in IEM Dallas

FaZe Clan’s latest signing, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyljev, has expressed his excitement to challenge Team Vitality at the upcoming Dallas event.

S1mple’s entry into FaZe has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the global CS2 community, who have eagerly awaited his return after a two-year hiatus from competitive play. As one of the legendary title holders in the esports scene, the veteran AWPer has closely followed Vitality’s dominant performances in recent major tournaments and now aims to test his skills against them.

“I would love to beat Vitality in a quarter-final, even if we lose afterwards. I just want to show them that it’s not easy,” he said on social media.

Defeating Vitality in their current form will be no easy task. After securing multiple Major titles since the start of the 2025 season, the French squad is highly motivated to surpass Astralis’ longstanding record for Grand Slam campaign.

However, if the Ukrainian legend succeeds, it would serve as a monumental testament to his mechanical prowess—widely regarded as unparalleled, even among the elite professionals.
