The s1mple, Perfecto, and YEKINDAR superteam collapsed before it even started

The CS2 world was close to witnessing a new star-studded lineup: s1mple, Perfecto, and YEKINDAR were planning to team up. However, the project fell through as they failed to reach an agreement with an organization. This information was shared by Brazilian veteran Fernando "fer" Alvarenga during a livestream, later reported by dust2.us.

According to fer, Mareks "YEKINDAR" Gaļinskis was working until the last moment to build a dream roster alongside Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev and Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy. Everything seemed ready, but negotiations broke down, and the project collapsed before it could be officially announced. After the failed attempt, YEKINDAR quickly explored other options and unexpectedly chose FURIA Esports.

Interestingly, fer himself was also close to joining FURIA: he had talks with Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo and the team's coach. However, YEKINDAR’s late involvement changed the club’s plans, leaving fer out of the picture.
