Just a few days after the Falcons’ disappointing performance at the Major RMR in Copenhagen, the team has officially announced the signing of s1mple on loan from NAVI to compete in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024. This move sees s1mple replacing BOROS, who has been moved to the team’s bench after a four-month hiatus from competitive play.
The return of s1mple, often regarded as the greatest CS player of all time, comes as a welcome surprise to fans. After announcing his break from competitive CS in October, there were doubts about whether he would return at all. However, as the “GOAT,” s1mple’s return to the Falcons superteam is highly anticipated. The transition from BOROS to s1mple is expected to be a smooth one, especially considering BOROS’ struggles with the team’s demands in recent times.
While s1mple’s presence on the Falcons is temporary for now, it could potentially become a permanent arrangement if the trial period is successful. With NAVI currently committed to w0nderful on their roster, the possibility of s1mple staying with the Falcons is not far-fetched, especially if the team succeeds at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024.
One question that arises with s1mple’s arrival is who will take on the primary AWP role for the Falcons. With both s1mple and SunPayus capable of wielding the AWP, the team faces a dilemma. However, it is likely that SunPayus will retain the main AWP role, while s1mple may transition back to his roots as a rifler, as he previously hinted at during his break.
The return of s1mple to competitive play is eagerly awaited by fans, and it will certainly be an adjustment to see him competing for a team other than NAVI. As the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024 approaches, excitement is building to witness s1mple in action once again.
