s1mple Robbed of Watch on Street in Barcelona – Taken Directly From Wrist

Professional CS2 player Oleksandr `s1mple` Kostyliev became a victim of street theft. The incident took place while he was visiting Barcelona, Spain. The esports pro shared details about the unfortunate event on his personal Telegram channel.

Guys, they just stole my watch, took it right off my hand. They came up and took it off my hand when Katya and I were a minute away from the hotel. Just some guy comes up, roughly touches my hand, I push him away and think: `Damn, I pushed him`, and he stole the watch – a gift from a great person. Well, not a gift: I bought these watches from a great person, and they are my absolute favorite. Wanted to share with you.

Later, s1mple posted another message expressing his feelings. “Guys, anger is like the weather – you can`t control it. They stole my favorite thing, just a minute away from the hotel,” Kostyliev said.

In unrelated news, s1mple recently mentioned that he has started going to the gym and actively training in CS. Kostyliev expressed hope that the results of his efforts would please his fans in the future.
