CS2 fans are worried s1mple’s online course is shutting down after lessons went private

Only two months have passed since CS:GO star Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyljev of Natus Vincere announced his own CS2 online course. Many fans eagerly purchased it, looking forward to learning directly from the greatest of all time. However, it’s safe to say that the course hasn’t met expectations as of now.

In the morning hours, over 200 CS:GO fans initiated a conversation on the game’s subreddit about the possibility of s1mple’s online course being discontinued. This speculation arose due to the private nature of the course lessons on Vimeo, which prevented those who had purchased the content from accessing it any longer.

It seems that many customers who purchased the “Play like s1mple” course are expressing their dissatisfaction with the product in the dedicated Discord channel, and some are questioning whether they have been deceived. Esports.gg decided to join the Discord conversation to gain a clearer understanding of the situation.

Keep in mind that this online course is designed to be comprehensive since top-tier players like s1mple typically don’t have the availability or stamina to instruct casual gamers on enhancing their skills and pursuing a professional career.

As a gamer, I’ve teamed up with ESL FACEIT, the exclusive owners of a top-tier CS:GO matchmaking platform and organizers of numerous tournaments, to bring this project to life around early June. Additionally, my own company, All Stars Promotion, co-founded by me and my brother, is on board as a partner. We’re proud to describe our revolutionary educational CS:GO project as a groundbreaking endeavor.

Fans ask how to get a refund as they don’t get any answer from s1mple’s team

Everyone is welcome to join Discord’s “Play like s1mple” channel, not just those who paid $149 for the course. Upon making this announcement, s1mple and ESL FACEIT guaranteed access to over 60 instructional videos. These educational resources aim to assist fans in grasping CS2 fundamentals, acquiring professional playing techniques, and discovering alternative industry entry routes, such as casting.

Despite purchasing the course, many individuals have encountered issues since its inception. Evidence from the public Discord forum reveals that fans were never granted access to a private Discord channel as advertised. Additionally, the classes became private on Vimeo not too long after. Responses from All Stars Promotion staff on Discord were few and far between.

In the end, the uncertainty surrounding s1mple’s CS:GO course online left many fans questioning its legitimacy. A snapshot reveals that some customers who requested refunds have received them, but the staff have been unresponsive about the process for others to request and receive their money back.

What does s1mple, ESL FACEIT, and All Stars Promotion have to say about the problems with the online CS2 course?

At present, no official announcement has been made by any of the parties concerning customer complaints about the project or speculation that the online course may be closing down.

As a seasoned journalist with years of experience under my belt, I can tell you that communication is key in any industry, especially when it comes to reporting news. This morning, I reached out to Esports.gg, ESL FACEIT, s1mple, and All Stars Promotion with the hope of getting some exclusive information for an upcoming article. However, despite my repeated attempts, I haven’t received a response from any of them yet.
