When it comes to CS:GO, we all know that s1mple is straight up nuts.
Thing is, he doesn’t have the most Majors, has never really stood at the centre of a so-called ‘era,’ and his trophy case isn’t as chock-full of silverware as some of his contemporaries’.
So, why is it that the vast majority of the community commonly considers Sasha The Smasha to be the greatest gunner ever to grace Global Offensive?

So, who do *_you_* think is the CS:GOAT - and why? 👀🐐
CS in general goat is f0rest no questionmark. Devve is csgo goat with team, csgo goat as player is s1mple
The GOATs imo...
IGL - Karrigan
Accolades - Device
Entry - Olof
Awper - S1mple
Money/life - DUPREEEEEH!!
Simple is the goat as far as skill wise, zywoo has a chance to become the goat skill wise
shoxy
Sorry, my heart is already taken by KennyS
I think the reason why most people in the CSGO community consider s1mple as the goat, is because he's the first to have reached such a high level professionally but more importantly because he's been able to keep this level for what now feels like an eternity. While others that competed close to his level all had at one point in their career struggles, but not s1mple. Ence why most people pick him as the goat, amongst many more things such as his journey from EU to NA to EU...
“Ence” i see what you did there
He is the first to keep it yes, but first to reach it? kennyS
@@AquaWhiteZ i dont can you explain
@@truceismence as in the team
@@flo_cs2Kenny might be goat of awp because he revolutionised it but goat of CS ? That’s simple .
s1mple is so good that even without having the most trophies, everyone considers him the GOAT. That just shows you how good he is.
s1mple is the most diversely decorated player in modern CS. Kato, IGS, Cologne, Major, MVPs, 2x Top 1s, the list goes on.
Even if Zywoo gets top 1 this year, he will never win Cologne in CSGO, and if Vitality don't win EPL and IEM Sydney, he will never win a grand slam in CSGO. If Kato 2024 is in CS2, he will never win Kato in CSGO.
@@LukeSawardMusiche have 2 chances left to be in the conversation
@@LukeSawardMusicbtw s1mple is 3x No.1.... 2018,2021,2022.
Even as a device fan, I agree that s1mple is the goat
Not blaming him because he needed it but perhaps it would have been closer if device didn't take that massive break.
device isnt at all in goat debate, never been number 1 😂
if you think its all about being number 1 on hltv. Then you have 0 knowledge about the game or the history@@FraggeR-gt6ii
my words
@@FraggeR-gt6iidevice is the most consistent awper of all time, yes he has never been top 1 but thats not the factor that makes someone the greatest. I agree simple is the goat but device gets closer than any other awper
Not a s1mple fan, but I cant deny it. He is not only the goat but also the best player of all time. His peak is still unmatched.
You're telling me he is both the greatest of all time AND the best of all time?
Gahddamm.
@@Vejtable ´xactly xD
but he still only 1 major bro while dupreeh got 5 ... sad =)))
@@phamchithien wrong, Astralis as a team won 5 majors.
@@sofarsogod astralis only won 4 majors ... are you on crack ?? dupreeh got a nother major after joining another team as an entry fragger ??? tell me when s1mple gonna win with another team .. i watch s1mple since he was in flipsid3 ... do you even know that team =))))
Even as a device fan i vote simple over him for another reason. Astralis completely revolutionized csgo and how its played now in the 2020s but we never really got to see how Dev1ce stood up against a world of counter strike rapidly changing because he took his break. Hes still good now of course but I'm not sure even if astralis stuck together that he would have continued to become much more decorated than he already is. S1mple on the other hand and Navi were extremely formidable the last years and he overcame all his challenges to win that major, and on top of that is still doing remarkably well considering the effect of the Ukraine War.
i definitely agree on the challenges. Even before covid hit navi was the strong contender to finally win the major, which then obviously wasn't possible due to everything being online. In 2021 he definitely proved he is the best to ever do it. Most dominant major run and major mvp performance of all time... and even with that his highest peak was already 4 years before. He outdid himself, even against better competition and with worse circumstances. Goat status for me personally.
Have you not seen recent tournaments? Device is definitely still one of the best awpers out there.
Thank you for the Olofmeister mention. His 2015 year is still the one of the most impressive peaks. His role consisted of doing literally everything as a rifler and he was still the best player in the world. True Swiss Army Knife of a player in his prime.
Even s1mple agrees on that. S1mple is the 🐐 but olof was something magic back then
@@gauravsarup 🔥
Why you Thank him for mentioning a Player? Hahahahaha dummy.
Otherworldly plays, legendary moments, attitude, and skill, you don't remember GOATs of sports just from their trophies or accolades, but from how they display and present themselves in their games. This is why many ppl remember Messi's dribbles, "ankara messi", evo moment 37, Faker vs Ryu, the Ali shuffle, etc.
of course, this is why f0rest its the best of all time, with SpawN from SK...SpawN is like Pele or Maradona, f0rest like Messi and maybe s1mple like Ronaldo. like Ali we can say is HeatoN :))
I don’t play CSGO or follow the esport so I don’t know much about Simple. But I do know to be considered the GOAT it takes more than individual talent. Look at the GOAT of any sport they always have talent + titles. The main reason that many people put Jordan over Lebron is finals record. 6-0 vs 4-6.
What makes him the best is his ability to maintain SUCH a high level for SOO long.. think of all the dorks who come & go and this dude is just always at the top. Consistency.
*cough* KennyS *cough*
@@lucasmcnamee3658kennyS isn't really in the same stratosphere as s1mple.
don't get me wrong, kennyS was the best awper from like 2014-2016, but s1mple has been unmatched since like 2017
You say that yet he's fallen off a lot now. Also he's toxic again.
@@jojodroid31 Such a broad stoke statement with zero context or details.. not even an example for that matter. 🤡🤣
@@bc5208bro he must be one of the most toxic player out there.
There's no way Niko doesn't get even a mention in this video. Unbelievable. While Twistz got like 2 minute coverage. Obviously he doesn't have the titles but if you ask people, it would be unanimous that Niko is better than Twistz and the best rifler in CSGO history 👑
twistzz isn't the best rifler on faze lol
NiKo lacks the accolades.
But like Moses said the difference between greatest and best is team accomplishments.
Niko without a silver of Doubt. One of THE BEST player to the touch the game.
Niko is the best rifler on CS history (1.5, 1.6, Source, name it) no doubt.
And this is a hard point to miss on a video about the goat on CSGO history.
niko doesnt had a major ... nuf said XD
@@phamchithien Are you saying Twistzz is better than Niko? Because that's what the initial comment takes issue with.
My friends who don't even play CSGO know who s1mple is.
He brings so much hype when he gets activated.
The fate of the universe on the line, the Martians have the death beam pointed at earth, I WANT IGUODALA.
Simple = Goat. (Skill)
Device = Goat. (Most Accomplished.)
CS2 is coming soon. s1mple is the GOAT of CS:GO and no one can steal that title from him. Will he be GOAT of CS2, no one knows. You should have made a video about s1mple being GOAT of CS:GO but CS2 is a whole different thing
Who is the goat of 1.6 then? f0rest or neo? :)
@@BryantHH i love f0rest as a player more but it has to be Neo
@@licha9907 this was a beautiful replay - because they both are the goats ❤
@@BryantHH i can totally agree with you!

I see S1mple and Scump as the GOATs of their games the same way. Scump isn’t the winningest player for cod(that goes to Crimsix). You have younger players that win the same or more in less time(Simp, Hydra… ring wise, there’s just not as many events now) but there’s just something about them that you know they are the greatest
Tho Scump and Optic did have the dynasty(Jetpack era)
No matter what team you're rooting for, no matter how large of an advantage they may have, it doesn't even matter if it's a 1v5, as long as simple is alive you're gonna have a nagging feeling of fear.
Over 20 mvp medals really says it all
most of which are from the online era, least competetive is csgo history :)

I mean just look at that tournament he won. His fucking home country was currently getting invaded and the man still showed up to smash the entire competition and afterwards give a heartfelt speech. I dont think there can be any doubt he is truly the GOAT.
Emmmm.... No, Kato that he won was held two years prior, in 2020
@@bobslei_p1 was it Copenhagen? I forgot xD
@@tony-te7gd I don't remember where it was held but the only tournament he won in last 1.5 year was Blast Spring Finals
Lisbon
Why are people bringing this conversation over and over again? He has been in the scene from very long and individually no one comes close to him. He has most MVPs in the game, highest rated player with a lot of maps played, highest rated player in a major ever, three times HLTV #1, player of the decade, most aces on LAN in the same tournament! Let's talk about some more accolades what stats can't show. He played with likes of edward and zeus and was literally carrying the team. Has won ESL One cologne twice and out of that he won it once with a weak navi. He took liquid on the brink of one major finals and one major semi finals. That itself is a big achievement. Leaving your comfort zone, playing in a different team with a huge communication barrier. His game sense, flashy plays, in game IQ is certainly the best ever! What an aggressive player he is. Also has been quite consistent throughout his career.
S1mple was the goat for 1 reasons which was most important out of any is that you can watch 2 hours of his frag clips without getting bored no other player have that i think
It's not a question
It's a statement
S1mple is the goat.
and dupreeh is a 5 times majors winner XD
@@phamchithien facts.
@@phamchithienjust data isnt going to give u the GOAT status, u need to be an icon, always relevant, changed how the game is played for generations, etc.
@@phamchithieneven dupreeh himself would tell u to stop dickriding him lmfao
As a sports fan, I absolutely love the Bobby Orr example. Dude was insane, outscoring everyone as a defensemen, by a lot. He would skate circles around people like actually, you can look it up.
Just a bad take... if you take all the goals away from Gretzky, he's still the leader in points. The only player that even came close was Mario but the injuries ended that.
@@guvna7558 certainly an arguable take but definitely not a bad take. Bobby Orr was averaging well over a point a game as a defenseman. He also had a higher plus minus than gretzky, granted he played much less games but Bobby Orr was just the best player on both ends of the ice when he was out there. Wayne gretzky was just the best forward.
No it IS a bad take. Gretz is the all time GOAT and it doesn't even come close. And dont argue the injury bs either, staying healthy is part of being the GOAT. To argue anyone but gretz is contrarian for the sake of disagreeing. Gretzky is the greatest to ever lace them up, in every conceivable measure. @@lukegioiosa2489
Don’t forget: he always played GO and was basically always that good. Not the last three years or smth.
Really agree with the guy who said that team accolades do need to be considered, since at the end of the day, it IS a team game, and individual performance can only get you so far. It takes a truly skilled player to not only be impressive alone, but also while on a team with some of the other best players in the world.
actually that can be taken two ways, your peers in csgo take note of your solo outplays more than they do when you win championships. I love messi because of what hes done on the pitch, his trophys dont define him as the goat his ability does.
He is by all accounts the perfect player, arguably the greatest of all time.
Well the good teammate is a little weird, if the team is performing he seems great but if theyre not...
His rifle skills are kinda lacking.
No, he isn't. S1mple's an insanely gifted player, but not a very good teammate. He tends to get toxic very quickly if the match isn't going in his favor, and his performance tanks as well.
Device on the other hand is smart, patient, very reliable, and cracked out of his fucking mind. I'd take devve over s1mple any day of the week without a question. Same with Zywoo.
@@M4RCi92 is right, "perfect player" is too broad of a term for him
besides, what's a perfect player anyway?
@@swetdep Someone who plays like a cheater without cheats i guess
As a Canadian hockey fan my entire life, the debate hasn’t been around for a long time, Gretzky is the GOAT and as much as I love Orr, it is isn’t close
if Gretzky NEVER scored a goal, he'd still have more points than any player in nhl history, i 100% agree there's no contest. Gretzky is THE GOAT
Yeah, it's not even close or up for debate. Very weird how he puts in his personal opinion in this video.
@@robertmusil1107 Lmaoo what is he talking about???
Yes. He is S1mply the goat
goat with 1 majors i guess .. its like people saying he is the richest while someone else got 5 more times more money than him ... this comunity is just out of touch with reality =)))
@@phamchithienSo Bill Russell is the Goat right? Cuz he has 11 rings and Michael Jordan or Lebron James has below 7 rings.
@@Xeuses but dupreeh and s1mple played in the same era so that comparison is invalid .... if bill russell played in the same era as jordan or lebron and still got 11 rings then ofc he is the goat ... dupreeh still playing .... and he won the last major ... unlike s1mple =)))
@@phamchithienBut even in the 60s, Wilt Chamberlain was a much better player
@@Iamapsycho231 2 rings king XD
The way you started down the right hockey track, then derailed it immediately by not saying Mario Lemieux
its not impossible for someone to overtake him, maybe zywoo, or players on the rise like monesy, but for now hes the goat no questions asked
There's not gonna be any more significant tournaments, so for CSGO, things are pretty well locked in
s1mple skill level is gonna be mid in like 20 years if cs stays alive that's just how it works unfortunately
@@fykee4371 I wouldn't say that's the case. The floor will probably go up (Just look at 2014 tournaments vs 2023), but I think when it comes to skill and mechanics the ceiling won't go up that much. I think that most pros are gonna be on a level very close to current s1mple or zywoo, but I can't see them going above. For some time now we've been in that period where any "prodigy" player like Zywoo or m0nesy is considered to be that good just because they can match s1mple's peak and perhaps maintain that for longer periods of time. But that's also because s1mple is getting older. I can't judge if he's past his prime, but he's not gonna keep getting better. But we'll see, I might be wrong lol.
@@Cavi587simple is past his prime zywoo isnt in his prime yet, zywoo will probs be GOAT of CS2 if he can perform well in cs2
Csgo over they should try in cs2
"The consistency of a repeating decimal" is unironically such a hard bar.
Really funny Gaules' reaction at the end, sumarize everything there is on the video. Fallen should have had a mention there, not only for brazilian players/fans, but he meant a lot for cs all together
Can't get a mention as a GOAT if you aren't even the best player on the team that you won it all with let's be honest here. This is why dupreeh never entered that debate until he won his 5th major with a team that isn't dev1ce's. That's why Twistzz wasn't even the 3rd best NA player until he accomplished more on FaZe since NAF/EliGE overshadowed him on Liquid.
FalleN's a GOAT for what he did for the Brazilian scene, but not for what he did as a player or IGL much in the same way zonic is the GOAT coach and not as a player.
Yeah, I love FalleN but the guy above me is right. He's a legend, but I wouldn't call him GOAT, not of CS:GO certainly. I have so many players I love. Snax, Pasha, Neo, Karrigan, get right, f0rest, olof, scream, kennys etc. I love all of them and they are legends to me, but I can't call any of them the "GOAT" (of CS:GO at least, looking at tou neo, the GOAT of 1.6) knowing how good s1mple is.
Lee Chong Wei has never won an Olympic Gold for badminton singles, but he's considered the GOAT by many.
I think s1mple makes the game looks different, i can see a good dev1ce match and think "oh i could do that", but when it comes to s1mple playing at his level, i never gonna think about playing like him. We also have the "famous" factor, i'm not 100% sure, but at least a 80% of that all players mentioned on this video, in a overall they hasnt half of fame who s1mple has.
exactly. dev1ce obviously has very good aim and is very smart with how he plays, but i can look at a demo and it makes logical sense how and why dev1ce did the thing he did. with s1mple, his game sense is so other worldly that it doesnt even make sense why he does what he does, even with x ray on.
dev1ce is the player everyone should learn from.
yep, players who makes a pro game look easy are always some of the best at his thing
I am a s1mple man. I see Dimitri, I press like.
Before there was simple there was Kenny. Feared by opponents and defined the title of an awper
Agreed. The thing with kenny was that he was limited by his weapon of choice. s1mple on the other hand is just as scary with an AK or M4 as with an AWP.
If Kenny would try harder to adapt - he would be still very relevant player.
@@Kyorinmarubut he didnt. kenny is the neymar of cs and we all know talent is not everything u have to put in the work aswell
omg, that dude used the max kellerman alien analysis
S1mple is the greatest of all time, period. However, Zywoo is catching up for being the 2nd. Their individual level are unbelievable.
Talking about GOAT vibes and missed Ronaldinho. The Magician in his short peak outdid everyone and made us see the stars above. GOAT
wanna know why hes the goat? He got that fear factor that mythical aura.
Agreed
Idk about that, getting navi against you in tournament is big W for top teams.
@@runek100 hahahaha u know nothing really, meeting astralis is just warm up sence there last major Win
here we go again... another year... back to another semester, back to another year on job, back to is simple the goat videos... back to eating donuts
dev1ce is good and one of the best player but theres something in s!mple that impact the game thats why he is the GOAT
Didnt see no s1mple back in the days when Neo and f0rp was concidered the best of all times
S1mple is the undisputed most individually skilled player ever, no question. If you're talking about the goat in terms of trophies it would be Dupreeh, Twistzz or Device
Dupreeh has the most majors, that's true, but in terms of other trophies (MVP's etc) I think device edges him out.
device is the achievment goat imo @@Cavi587
@@Cavi587 Yeah true but I put them there because Dupreeh is the only player ever with 5 major and Twistzz the only one with 2 grand slams but in terms of mvps device trumps them
Twistzz in terms of trophies? Whole astralis roster has more trophies than twistzz. Plus there are players who won majors more than once apart from astralis.
Nah, Zywoo tops him for sure
S1mply the Best
There's no second Best... Its that S1MPLE
Yes, yes he is the GOAT
7:56 flicked from red to secret for the wallbang headshot.. What?!
It isn't debatable for anyone who can recognize real skill. Zywoo is the only one contesting skill wise.
s1mple has to be the GOAT. dudes got the craziest peak ever in the game as well as being a top 5 player at minimum forever at this point. dudes an absolute manimal
just maybe zywoo can one day be compared to him
I think Zywoo is just born to become The CS player. The best, the ultimate, and the benchmark of what is CS player should be.
S1mple and him are the two magical players.
Niko is also magical but not the same extent.
Device is not magical at all, but he is super player indeed.
i'm the type of guy who has 2 goats which dominated the game together in every single possible way ! s1mple and devve . and i'm pretty satisfied and happy with having 2 goats instead of going through the endless stormy talks !
"s1mple is individually the best" found why we call him the GOAT
it's simple. CS is about having fun and looking epic while doing it. AND NOBODY does more consistent gangster plays that Sasha.
Good Job, you baited me into clicking
This topic shouldn't even be a question
Can't believe Niko wasn't even mentioned once
I am a brazilian and i approve this video.
Coldzera and... the standard to illustrate S1mple's media reach was a picture of him and Menino Neyma! Ahahahaha
if we go with the hypotheses and consider football as the sport I would consider Ronaldo to take that amount of pressure, alas! this channel didn't even take his name in the GOAT debate, huge disrespect. Also I think messi has a slight edge in the GOAT debate but once it comes to the high pressure situations you have to be ignorant af to not choose CR7.
you guys have to do a video on the story of zen. He is a rookie and has been undefeated in every rocket league event since he started competing
I love this channel for all their eSport talk and finding excuses to use that coldzero clip
Dmitri carries this channel so hard
surprised nobody brings Niko into the conversation. He consistently puts up AWPer stats with the rifle and is the only one who does. If were just talking about skill and not trophies I think he should be considered.
As a s1mple fan, I, with full bias, have no doubt that s1mple is the goat.
this man really just said babe ruth is the goat of baseball lolol
I would say olof and device also enter the list. Olof being won 2 majors and being associated with 2-3 graffities like olof boost, 4 man awp on d2, burning defuse on overpass and Device having won 4 majors while staying very consistent.
Zywoo is just starting
I personally believe Simple cant be the goat if he is such a terrible teammate that no one wants to play with, talent in a team game also includes teamwork, interpersonal skills and communication.
By that metric Dupreeh is the goat. Because he has the most major wins
@@Q-hv2cb Not at all, just because you value certain stats or traits from people doesn't mean that its the only thing that you factor into the decision. Everyone around simple underperforms and i think its because he is an awful teammate and an even worse communicator.
Man you really missed the chance to say 's1mple is simply nuts' in the intro
i never watch CSGO before, but when I saw s1mple highlight at dust2 vs liquid, I started watching CSGO.
Wish for s1mple the best in CS2 upcoming Major's in the future. 🔮
dev1ce and Zywoo plays the game how it should be played to perfection or close to it. S1mple do his own thing and do things you shouldn’t do in pro play but made it work. He’s like Aaron Rodgers, the things he does can only replicate by himself or Mahomes
this couldve been a 2 second video saying "yes"
Loved the video, this is how a video should be made.
I believe simple is still not "out of fuel" and will show us just something great.
For me, device might be the most consistent awper and thats naturally to be feared. But simple has this aura that you will almost certain be at a losing side against him if he is still alive in the server. Device instills fear with his consistency. Simple instills fear with his presence alone.
So we have multiple minutes of twistzz, but no mention of Niko and 10sec of zywoo ? Especially when the french is the only player doing better than him individually. Come on...
He is the goat for now, no doubt. But dont disrespect the other contenders.
Messi is a really good example. He only just won his first World Cup at the last World Cup. And yet has for a long time been considered the best.
S1mple's issue come from his old style devotion to the CIS region. That man needs a solid international team, yesterday.
Me as a COD fan I compared him in my mind to like Scump he doesn't have the amount of chips as others but by god he's been undeniable for so damn long man doesn't seem to be human.
Honestly I feel we have to include dupreeh in the goat debate on accolades alone.
10:02 you cant even deny you are canadian 😂
They didnt put the zed clip in when they mentioned Faker, but they had to SOMEHOW reference it.
How many videos are you gonna make of s1mple honestly
RLCS worlds just ended and i would love a segment about Zen, the 16 year old who hasnt even lost a fkn official tourney
Fisker was my favourite player of early CS 1.6 era, then it was cyx - after he died, it was f0rest.
But s1mple is really one of a kind.
I love his dominance, I love his crazy confidence and his neverending selfbelief.
He is smooth, he is sharp...and he delivers.
How he died?

13:40 lmao this is my fav clip man.
the true GOAT were the friends we made along the way
Greatest of All Time. It's that s1mple...
its not that one year or one season performance makes the player goat but its consistency to stay at the top and perform year by year makes him a goat.....thats what people should understand
Completely agree, all GOATS are not the ones who wins everything that's there is to win, the real GOAT are the ones who revolucionates and improves what's allready is 🎉
That’s the thing with the goat debate is that so many “stats” people don’t ever account for the culture and what they did for the actual sport
If you guys dont make a documentary about Zen (Rocket league world champion at 16, who literally freestyle in the grand final against BDS), Imma be kinda disappointed
I didnt watch the video, but yes, he is.
"....it's not about the stats they had, it's about the magic they weved, the awe they inspired, the impact they had not just competitively, but culturally......"
Damn, man, I am glad I watched the video all the way through before judging......
He isnt the most mechanically gifted player, but the number of other worldly plays he has made and that also in the highest stressful situations is uncanny.
He got those big balls that no one ever had and he was just destroying at t1 everyone as if it was just fpl for him
Can u define what mechanically good means? It just means how good you aim, nothing to do with the smoothness or crosshair placement, is what i think youre referring to. S1mple is the most mechanically gifted player.
@@kishorraika6411 Par for par with Niko mechanically imo
Hes mechanically the best what u talking bout his aim is close to none
@@kishorraika6411 my definition of mechanically gifted players is ropz, zywoo, Niko, twistzz etc. Mechanically gifted to me means getting maximum results by putting minimum effort. That translates to perfect cross hair placement, best movement and positioning. To me s1mple is an exception because his hand eye coordination, reflexes and game sense is out of this world.
I have heard somewhere a phrase like this: S1mple is there go back go back!!!. I have seen countless CS match with Navi and their opponents did the exact same thing in that phrase because they know who got the skill and the consistency to overrun a team by himself. And not Twistzz, not Olof nor Dev1ce is there but S1mple is there. Maybe Zywoo would take his status in the future we never know, but right now it is what it is and S1mple is GOAT no doubt.
