B1ad3 draws comparison between s1mple and Michael Jordan
Perhaps the greatest CS coach of all time has compared the game's greatest-ever player with the best player to step on a basketball court. Andrij "B1ad3" Ghorodensjkyj pointed out that there are major personality similarities between Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyljev and basketball's Michael Jordan.
B1ad3 appeared on an episode of Duncan "Thorin" Shields' podcast "Reflections" where the Ukrainian coach spoke about how s1mple can be a hard personality to deal with in a team environment.
B1ade, speaking of CS:GO's GOAT when they played together on FlipSid3, admitted that he was similar to Michael Jordan, "He didn't choose the right words, he wasn't polite and he tried to push the limits in his own way." but also pointed out that this is not anything new when it comes to the Ukrainian superstar.
When asked by Thorin, B1ade said that it is hard to build synergy when trying to build a team with a player of s1mple's personality and skill level. He points out that s1mple's teammates need to realize that they will be playing to set up one player - while putting their own egos to the side.
B1ad3's full thoughts on s1mple and a wide variety of topics can be found on the most recent episode of Thorin's Reflections series below:
