s1mple’s Counter-Strike career, explained
During his long tenure in CS:GO, s1mple triumphed in numerous tournaments, including PGL CS:GO Stockholm Major, IEM Katowice, IEM Cologne, and more. These victories cemented s1mple as the best player in history and an undisputed GOAT. Now, the world awaits his conquering of CS2, though that might take some time.
S1mple took a break from professional play in October to take care of personal stuff. So, we won’t be seeing s1mple returning to his throne soon, but we believe the Ukrainian will eventually make his return—and he’ll still be a monster when he does.

Often times people just copy pros’ settings and jump straight into the Premier mode or matchmaking. Try a few deathmatches or practice maps first, to see if s1mple’s settings suit you and whether you’re feeling comfortable with them.
While using s1mple’s CS2 settings can be one of the best ways to climb up the ranks initially, make sure you change your viewmodel, crosshair, and video features to suit your playstyle. Sticking to someone’s settings entirely might not work as well as it should, so don’t forget to change it up.
