s1mple: "Nine days of practice in a row went great, I really want to show my true form"

Newly-minted member of FaZe's Counter-Strike 2 roster Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev told via his personal Telegram channel how he is preparing for the upcoming IEM Dallas 2025 tournament in the USA.

Nine days of practice in a row went great, I really want to show my true form. We might start competing without rain, but the main goal is the Major.

Note that FaZe will most likely not participate in full force at the upcoming event in Dallas. The competition may be missed by 30-year-old Norwegian esports athlete Håvard "rain" Nygaard for personal reasons.

IEM Dallas 2025 will take place from May 19 to 25 in Dallas, USA. The tournament will feature a total prize pool of $300,000 – it will be divided among 16 squads. FaZe's first opponent in the group stage will be Liquid.
