Shots of s1mple’s emotions after elimination from the tournament. Photo

Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev was clearly frustrated after BC.Game got knocked out of IEM Kraków 2026 and didn’t really hide his emotions after the match.

The shots with the legendary player were posted on the official ESL Counter-Strike page on X.

It really stands out that the player expected a totally different result and gets up from the desk very slowly to give high fives to his teammates. You can see that the loss was hard for everyone but s1mple looked especially disappointed.

Still earlier in the tournament the esports player said that he is not in peak form right now and that his team needs about a month to properly play together and show a better result.

Let us remind that earlier a streamer talked about what will happen to s1mple and BC.Game after another tournament failure.
