Former Natus Vincere sniper Alexander s1mple Kostylev shared that he is not considering switching from Counter-Strike 2 to Valorant at this stage of his career. The Ukrainian esports athlete spoke about this during a personal broadcast on Twitch.

Kostylev noted that he simply took a break from competitions for personal reasons he does not wish to disclose. He also mentioned that he has never thought about changing disciplines.

First of all, I took a break. Most of you don't know why I did it, and I don't want to talk about it. Switching to Valorant? No, I'm not thinking about it at all. And I never had such thoughts. Maybe I thought about it a year and a half ago, but definitely not now. I think it's obvious.
