Counter-Strike legend s1mple has shared a candid update regarding his future in the Valve esport, saying he’s as motivated as ever and is tired of “doing nothing” but acknowledges it’s tough to return to a team that has found immense success since his CS2 hiatus began.

The 26-year-old Counter-Strike superstar talked about his return in a series of posts on his Telegram account last weekend as the glamorous IEM Cologne event rolled on without him in attendance. “There are things that are hard to talk about, but the motivation never faded,” s1mple said in the update. It’s “just a matter of time” until he makes a return, he added, though he didn’t give a hard date as to when we’ll see him hit the server.
