S1mple V Markeloff: CSGO To Witness NAVI’s Battle of Generations
Follow Us
Remember the days when Counter-Strike 1.6 was all the rage? Back when you and your squad would stay up all night playing de_inferno and de_dust2? Well, you probably still stay up all night doing the same but with a different version of the game that is now called CSGO. How the times have changed.
A decade ago in 2010, the world of competitive Counter-Strike was dominated by Na’Vi. The legendary roster of players like Zeus, starix, markeloff, Edward, and ceh9 won everything under the sun. They also became the first team in history to win three premier tournaments in a single calendar year. After winning the DreamHack Winter 2010, Na’Vi set the record for most earnings in a single year, earning close to $220,000. The players on the team were truly exceptional, both while playing individually and as a team. Markeloff was also named the best player in the world in 2010.
But since the advent of CSGO, the once-legendary team has struggled to recreate its former glory. Even with players like s1mple on board, they are yet to win a CSGO major. The team won their last LAN tournament, the IEM Katowice, before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. The team’s search for their first Major trophy continues.

The funny part is, the match is being called ‘boomers vs zoomers.’ It will definitely be a treat to watch the game’s former legends go up against the current generation of players. S1mple has always considered Markeloff to be his idol, disclosing the same in a tweet in 2018.
