Watch how s1mple gets 4 kills in a row in BLAST Premier Spring Finals

Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev is a 24-year-old Ukrainian CS:GO professional esports gamer. He was previously on the 2021 Team of the Year roster. Playing in the semis of the playoffs of the BLAST Premier Spring Finals, the Ukrainian obliterated four of OG's members in the fourth round of the match.

s1mple first took out Degster, then found Nexa crouching in the corner and took him out. He headshoted FIKU after jumping to the ground from his vantage point and finally killed NEOFRAG with a headshot as well. The Ukraine-based organization wiped the floor, destroying all five OG members in 30 seconds.

Reacting to the epic gameplay by s1mple, xQc said:

"What the f***? What the f***? Actually, this (is) very, very insane."

The commentators and crowd went berserk at the display of s1mple's lethal yet efficient skills. The announcer shouted:

"Oh filthy! Absolutely FILTHY!"

To which xQc replied:

"Actually not normally (normal)."
