NaVi s1mple has been playing some Valorant after major wins.
Sasha has always been dubbed as the “Uncrowned King of CS:GO“. But, the Uncrowned King is uncrowned no more. All hail King s1mple!
Oleksandr Sasha Kostyliev has been trying his hands on Valorant. The concept and gameplay are quite similar to Valve’s classic. It also works as a good breakaway game once in a while to break the monotony.
As an aggressive AWP showstopper, s1mple frequents Reyna for obvious reasons. AWP is replaced by Operator.

In a match yesterday, Sasha could not register a hit on Jett with OP. It was strange even in SlowMo. It is confusing if it is a bug or desync.

Shot not registered or Whiffed?
One of the Reddit users trolled: “Cosmic Equivalence for Niko’s whiffs“. Well, to be honest, that seems to be the case here.
Every weapon in any game has a first shot (FS) accuracy. Even though Valorant’s FS accuracy is higher than CSGO, you can definitely miss, depending on the release angle.
50 calibre Desert Eagle, Deagle to us, is the most unpredictable hand cannon. Niko’s whiffed shot is an ode to that fact.
On closer inspection, we can see Sasha overcompensating for quick-scoping. It caused the shot to land ahead of Jett’s hitbox.
Is NaVi S1mple finally moving on from CSGO to Valorant?
Coming from CSGO, the muscle memory is set. It takes time to forget and rebuild old muscle memory.
But, it can be achieved. Difficult, but not impossible. It was the same for s1mple when he shifted from CS1.6 to CS:GO.
Thus, Cosmic equivalence has unequivocally been achieved.
