Former professional Counter-Strike player Daniil `Zeus` Teslenko has reacted to the news of Oleksandr `s1mple` Kostyliev joining FaZe Clan on a temporary basis. On Instagram, Teslenko wished his former teammate success in performing well after a period of inactivity.
Many might not believe in you. But there are those who remember, who know what you`re capable of. I am one of them. I`m waiting for your return. And I know for sure: the main enemy for each of us is ourselves. A new team is not just a new chapter. It`s a challenge. Primarily for yourself.
I don`t want many words. Just go and prove it. Show everyone that the fire, strength, energy are still alive in you โ to destroy the lobbies the way you know how.
So that you have both the powder and the gun again.
Good luck, s1mple. GL HF. Go forward. Tear it up. Smash it. Without brakes. โ๏ธ๐ค๐ bro ๐ค๐๐
On May 5, FaZe Clan announced that their sniper Helvijs `broky` Saukants was moved to the reserve roster. FaZe invited s1mple to take his place temporarily. However, Kostyliev remains under contract with Natus Vincere: he joined the American club on loan and will represent them only at IEM Dallas 2025 and BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025.
