Natus Vincere’s CS:GO sniper Alexander s1mple Kostylev shared that sometimes stupid mistakes by his teammates make him angry. The Ukrainian cyber athlete also mentioned that even in such moments he tries to control his emotions and has greatly succeeded in doing this over the last ten years.

Sometimes I’m a bit angry because we lose stupid rounds and I need to control myself. But, trust me, I’ve learned to control myself for 10 years and there was a different situation [back then]. I play a lot of CS, I know what it means when you kill two people on eco, and if you win the next round, their economy is fucked up. Some players don’t understand these things, in every team, in Vitality, in ENCE, some players make these stupid mistakes. If we’re already playing well, we can play even better without these mistakes.
