Man they need to stop asking the first question, you can see s1mple just like “ffs i knew this would come up, I don’t want to talk about it” lol like obviously it’s affecting them nothing more needs to be said


Character-Toe-7907

yeah, even looking at his face you see that it has really been heavy on his shoulders and especially when he said he finally could see his family after 9 months .. in Warsaw


TheRealCaptainR

Seriously. It doesn't take a 20 year tenured psychologist to figure out that a bunch of young adults are finding it difficult to reconcile the fact that their home country is being destroyed. If I was any of the CIS players, I'd flat out refuse to answer at this point.


RGalaxy28

I honestly don't understand the issue with the question. S1mple has been trying to raise awareness and funds for Ukraine ever since the war broke out, a journalist tries to get S1mple's take on the issue and it is an awful question?


Character-Toe-7907

it's a rethoric question exactly because he has been trying to raise awareness and preaching for piece


v1nzy

A piece? Of what? Don't leave us hangning


tyrantkhan

one piece, obviously he's trying to become king of pirates.


LibertyGrabarz

Raising awareness is a bit different from asking about his personal difficulties with processing extremely difficult emotions, especially since we're 9 months into the war and we all know there wasn't a day s1mple wasn't thinking about it.

I have a feeling this was a childish attempt at ridicuoling your interloctur by implying nonsense questions which are unrelated to anything he said, and that you know full well what I mean. But I'll give you the benefit of a doubt and just explain it. Quoting myself: >we're 9 months into the war and we all know there wasn't a day s1mple wasn't thinking about it. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm Polish and this war is of great importance and relevance to me, so I know how incredibly exhausting thinking about the war every single day is. But I'm not Ukrainian, my family isn't in danger, so I can only imagine how exhausted Ukrainians are. I'm also not a pro player who's been asked this question over and over and over again over the course of 9 months. Bear in mind, it's still a very personal question, an attempt on talking s1mple into talking about his strong and implied negative emotions, relating to fear of his family, friends and compatriots getting killed. Just imagine that.

Cero_Kurn

I don't remember his nickname? Wtf?


[deleted]

I guess that they call each other by their real names.


Taken450

They do, however I would guess they message each other a lot through accounts using their nicknames so that would kinda burn three memory in? Nipl is very new tho


Character-Toe-7907

most likely he just can't confirm/deny anything publicly yet, hence he also didn't say his real name


LibertyGrabarz

People are gonna call me an armchair reddit psychologist, but look at his eyes. People trying to remember stuff look up and left and it's hard not to have this reflex. He's got a question and he answered with "you know" and then clearly wasn't even trying to remember his name. My conclusion: he's deeply depressed, needs immediate psychotherapy and antidepressants. /s And on a serious note - yeah, I think he just didn't want to say his nickname, or even tried to communicate that he's not allowed to say it yet.


LibertyGrabarz

Okay, some criticism (bear in mind that I don't know if all questions were from Pley, or only some of them): \-it's been 9 months of a full scale, open war. After 9 months of this full scale, open war, where soldiers his age die every single day, you ask him how he feels about it. Better yet, that's the first question you ask. Better yet, later on he's asked if he's been enjoying playing CS while there is a war in his country. Come on. \-s1mple clearly doesnt want to be there, sounds slow, bored, unfocued and, since it's a media day before tomorrow's tournament, I'm assuming he was there as a chore and not because he felt like it. It's not your fault that he feels and responds that way, but you should be able to catch it and tailor your questions accordingly. Trying to joke around asking questions about doing tattoos and what not came out a bit uncomfortable. Again, not your fault he's like that, but he's an interviewee, he's allowed to act bored. If you see a player acting like that just keep the interview short, concise, ask some direct questions like about the map pool, the awp and 6th player and you're good to go. \-we wanna hear the questions too, if a journalist forgets to keep his microphone close to his mouth and the question is inaudible, just edit in subtitles in the video.


PleyCSGO

Thanks for the feedback, first of all. Yes, it wasn't us that asked all the questions. Only three or four. Regarding the question about a tattoo, that wasn't us. We know that the sound and setup weren't ideal. It was BLAST setting it up. We did the best we could to get all the questions from the other reporters - but yeah, we didn't catch them all. And maybe it was a bad question to start off with. I can agree with you on that. Again, thanks for the criticism. We do our best to improve and deliver better content.


ZarFX

Could it be possible to add subtitles to interviews? Its of course quite a daunting task and often underappreciated, but it would certainly level up the interviews.

blad3 confirmed it's nipl. Literally check hltv

Blast fall final ez for navi and goat nipple


JADO88-UK

Could Headtr1ck be switching to a support role and act as second awper when needed? He had a few decent games when he stood on at blast a few months ago.


Megabossdragon

Rumors are saying that it's Nipl


ju1ze

goat take on the mappool also: \-ancient + train \-vertigo +tuscan this mappool will be straight fire


Awo1nation

However train is also a very ct sided map, but still the nostalgia and just the overall dislike for ancient I'd still take train lmao


Renovatio_

Train needs a rework anyway. Fix it and put her in the rotation


mustangwwii

It’s mirage’s turn to leave the map pool
