In the signature of the young Falcons sniper, the letters SY in the nickname are stylized in such a way that it can instantly be considered a reference to S1 – to the s1mple marking.
According to Kostylev, he really liked the sticker. However, s1mple notes that he will definitely have a new personal autograph in CS2 in the future:
s1mplesniper BC.GameCool sticker, m0NESY left a reference to me, but I'll say this, great respect, but I'll have my own sticker, this is a million information. Because I don't have any CS2 stickers yet. Like they're on weapons, but they're from CS:GO. But it looks like m0NESY has already installed me, like that's it, baked. That's it, like I don't play CS anymore. But I know he didn't think so. I delivered it with a different message. Therefore, great respect. Can it be regarded as a monument? Yes, yes, like a living monument.
At the time of writing, the Falcons is preparing for the IEM Cologne Major 2026. The team will begin its performance at the major with the third stage (Stage 3), which will be held from June 11 to June 15.
