S1mple’s Record $130K BC.Game Contract: Everything You Need to Know

The AWPer of BC.Game’s Counter-Strike 2 roster, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, is earning an impressive $130,000 per month. This information was reported by Players, who revealed the financial details of one of the biggest stars in the CS2 scene.

In agreement with correspondents, s1mple is the highest-paid player currently on the professional Counter-Strike 2 market. Next in line in the way of payments is Team Vitality's Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut, reportedly getting around $100,000 per month. This means the gap between the two snipers’ salaries is roughly $30,000, making Kostyliev’s contract the biggest in the discipline at the moment.

The transfer of s1mple from NAVI to BC.Game, according to Players, cost the club $500,000. Despite this significant expense, Kostyliev’s contract is only valid until the end of 2025 — approximately until November or December. This might mean that towards the end of the year, the world's number one player might be in the transfer market again if the parties are unable to agree on an extension.
