S1mple: “Why punish [m0NESY]? I will punish his entire team. "

A few days ago, ex-representative of the Natus Vincere club Ilya 'm0NESY' Osipov made a provocative statement. In the announcement of his move to G2 Esports, he said towards s1mple: “Sasha, I'm coming after you”. Many representatives of the world of e-sports and the usual players in the CS: GO began to discuss this point and subscribers s1mple asked him to broadcast Twitch what he thinks about that moment. Kostylev said that he had nothing to be offended at, since this phrase in the video was said at the request of the G2 leadership. This club is famous for its provocative behavior:

What can I say about m0NESY? He's great for being hired by G2. What can I say about his phrase? He said what he was asked to say. G2 always prepares some byte phrases for the players. <...> Why punish him, I will punish his entire team.

Ilya 'm0NESY' Osipov himself recently told that it was not his idea to make such a remark towards s1mple, but the leadership of the organization.

Moreover, Alexander 's1mple' Kostylev believes that m0NESY will enter the top 20 best players in 2022, but only if G2 Esports can show good results during the season. If they fail him, then you should not expect Osipov in the next top:

I think m0NESY will be in the top 20 next year if he performs. He will not be in the top 20 if the G2 roster fails and he himself plays poorly. By nothing, I mean that the team will not win a single tournament. I don't think he will play badly. This is the easiest forecast for who will be in the top 20 next year.

When asked what he thinks about his teammates and the top 20 best HLTV players, Kostylev said he expects to see at least three teammates. He worries that Perfecto may not be included in the top from the editorial board of the largest CS: GO portal, and Boombl4 is unlikely to make it into the top twenty:

I hope that four NAVI players will get to the top of HLTV. Three will definitely be on the list. I hope that Ilyukha Perfecto gets in. Most likely, Boombl4 won't make it to the top. If we won everything in a row all year, then all five of us would have won.

Despite the fact that Kirill Mikhailov is unlikely to appear in the top this year, Alexander believes that Boombl4 is the best captain. It gives s1mple the freedom to fulfill himself and relieves the burden of team coordination. Kostylev answered the question why he does not want to be the captain in the team as follows:

Boombl4 is the best captain. To become a captain in NAVI, you need to know the roles of other players and a lot of other information. Instead of working on an individual skill, you need to work on a team game. I am not ready to be the captain at the moment. I'm talking about the type of captain who coordinates the game.

Recently, Alexander called it boring that he is likely to take first place in the ranking of the best players in 2021. He is not very happy with the lack of intrigue.

Kostylev continued his reasoning about the top 20 players and concluded that Dmitry 'sh1ro' Sokolov showed himself so well this time that he deserves to take the top 2 in the list from HLTV. In addition, Mathieu 'ZywOo' Erbot and Nicola 'NiKo' Kovacs will have to appear in the top 4 according to s1mple:

I know who will take 2-4 places in the HLTV rating. It will be interesting. Top-2 should be given to Sh1ro, but ZywOo got in shape at the end of the year. There is also NiKo, but he has not won a single championship. Sh1ro has taken on many tournaments and has many MVPs, while ZywOo only has one medal.
