In 2015, it was clear to everyone that "s1mple" is one of the most talented players in Counter-Strike history, but despite this, he was kicked many times even from TIR-2 teams, so what the matter is? Everything is very simple. Alexander Kostylev is an unusual player. While the rest fought each other to prove who is the best based on the HLTV rating, Sasha Kostylev got a much more difficult opponent: to become a world champion, he had to defeat his demons.
Current Dota game style brought some new visions of heroes and items exploitation. Especially, its true sight about new items: Wraith Pact, Revenant's Broach, and Boots of Bearing. The last one is an attempt to return fast-push game manner with Beastmaster, Natures Prophet, Enigma, Chen, and Juggernaut. Maybe you still remember the five-man-push mid strategy or three-way lane with Vengeful Spirit+Dazzle+Luna combo, which ruins base in a 15-minutes border. It seems to me that long-forgotten 2013-2015 fast-push years return.
At 17, Ilya "m0nesy" Osipov has become the pride of the CIS region. Not long ago, this young guy was streaming his cs games on Faceit, but today he is a Forbes nominee and plays for one of the best teams in the world. Ilya was born May 1, 2005, in the Moscow region of Russia. His older brother Andrey fostered his love of video games in him from childhood; at 6, Ilya played CS1.6, and he started playing CS:GO at 9. They had only one computer, and Ilya played on this computer while his older brother was away, but later his older brother bought a new computer and gave the old one to Ilya.
