Renowned Counter-Strike 2 professional player Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev humorously commented on his former teammate Ilya “Perfecto” Zalutskiy`s temporary transfer to BCGame for the upcoming IEM Dallas 2025 tournament. The esports star shared his thoughts during a live broadcast with streamer Ekaterina “ekatze007” Bulankina on Twitch.
“Ilyukha? Listen, Ilyukha, if you`re still here, you ditched me. You went to some dumpster as a stand-in, a dumpster. But okay, okay, I was also in a dumpster on loan and played a bit. So gain some experience…”
The move was announced on April 29, confirming that Perfecto would compete for BCGame at IEM Dallas 2025 as a stand-in. He is stepping in for Joakim “jkaem” Myrbostad, who was placed on inactive status following allegations of skin theft. Zalutskiy addressed the announcement, stating, “It`s no more than a stand-in for the tournament.”
After his time with Natus Vincere, Kostyliev participated in several tournaments playing for Team Falcons. During s1mple`s tenure, Team Falcons secured 9th-16th place at BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2024, 13th-16th at Thunderpick World Championship 2024, 7th-8th at ESL Challenger Katowice 2024, and 12th-14th at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR A.
