S1mple Suggests He Won’t Sign Permanently With FaZe Clan

In a surprising turn of event, reports suggest European CS star Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev just hinted that he will not extend his contract with his new team, FaZe Clan.

As previously announced, s1mple joined FaZe on loan from NaVi to help them during the Major tournaments. Despite FaZe’s inconsistent performance, s1mple has earned praise for maintaining his exceptional mechanical skill.

Some FaZe members expressed satisfaction playing with him and hoped he’d stay longer. However, this seems unlikely after the 27-year-old recently responded to a social media question about joining FaZe, implying he wouldn’t:

“(Join FaZe?) Seems like I’m not joining. Keep it a secret.”

This could also be s1mple joking about the ongoing transfer rumors. Viewers should note that his contract with Na’Vi runs until late 2025, so FaZe would need to pay a hefty transfer fee to sign him permanently.
