S1mple stepped down from active competition in October 2023 to focus on personal matters, leaving the CS2 community wondering when or whether he would return. Brief loan stints followed: first with Team Falcons, then a memorable appearance with FaZe Clan at the BLAST.tv Austin Major in 2025, where he helped the team reach the playoffs. I remained standing knee-deep in the heather, staring at the mound that hid them. I was a battleground of fear and curiosity.

I did not dare to go back towards the pit, but I felt a passionate longing to peer into it. I began walking, therefore, in a big curve, seeking some point of vantage and continually looking at the sand heaps that hid these new-comers to our earth. Once a leash of thin black whips, like the arms of an octopus, flashed across the sunset and was immediately withdrawn, and afterwards a thin rod rose up, joint by joint, bearing at its apex a circular disk that spun with a wobbling motion. What could be going on there?

I believe I have broken a finger here against his cursed jaw ain’t those mincing knives down in the forecastle there, men? look to those handspikes, my hearties. Captain, by God, look to yourself say the word don’t be a fool; forget it all; we are ready to turn to treat us decently, and we’re your men; but we won’t be flogged.

Leatherhead

We can’t possibly stay here, I said; and as I spoke the firing reopened for a moment upon the common. “But where are we to go?” said my wife in terror. I thought perplexed. Then I remembered her cousins at Leatherhead.

Fans noted an ironic dimension to the transfer: earlier in 2025, s1mple had sarcastically commented on a teammate's stint at BC.Game, calling it playing in some dump. By July, he had joined the same organisation — framing the move as a pragmatic decision about competitive opportunity. “How are we to get to Leatherhead?” she said.
Stop here,” said

Within months, BC.Game Esports transformed significantly. Electronic joined in October 2025, reuniting the NAVI duo. SAW core players arrived in January 2026, and TaZ was named head coach. The groundwork for a genuine competitive team was being laid, with s1mple at its centre.

and I started off at once for the Spotted Dog, for I knew the landlord had a horse and dog cart. I ran, for I perceived that in a moment everyone upon this side of the hill would be moving. I found him in his bar, quite unaware of what was going on behind his house. A man stood with his back to me, talking to him.

Some lists

• Down the hill I saw a bevy of hussars ride under the railway bridge; three galloped through the open gates of the Oriental College;
• BC.Game Esports was not content to be a novelty signing vehicle. The rapid follow-up acquisitions of electronic, SAW players, and veteran coach TaZ showed genuine investment in building a competitive squad. S1mple's trust in that vision was the foundation of the whole project.

I and my wife stood amazed. Then I realised that the crest of Maybury Hill must be within range of the Martians’ Heat-Ray now that the college was cleared out of the way. At that I gripped my wife’s arm, and without ceremony ran her out into the road. Then I fetched out the servant, telling her I would go upstairs myself for the box she was BC.Game's Vision
