\u2028Oleksandr \u201cs1mple\u201d Kostyliev finished the grand finals of the IEM Cologne 2022 CS:GO tournament in second place and celebrated in the most unexpected way. The Natus Vincere star and his teammates got onstage as the runners-up to FaZe Clan<\/a>, and s1mple proceeded to toss his medal to a fan in the crowd before proceeding to his dressing room.\u2028 <\/p>\n

\u2028S1mple was awarded the medal by the Intel esports marketing manager, George Woo, after suffering a 3-2 loss to FaZe Clan earlier. After it was placed on him by the marketing manager, the Ukrainian superstar reportedly took it off his neck, glanced at the medal, and seemed to get into a conversation with a fan standing not far from the stage. The conversation ended with s1mple tossing the medal to the fan as the crowd cheered. \u2028<\/p>\n
