Natus Vincere star Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev and its former member Danil “Dendi” Ishutin went head-to-head against each other in a showmatch organized by the Ukranian organization as a part of their birthday celebration.
The showmatch saw Na’Vi being divided into two teams under CEO Yevhen Zolotarov and co-founder Alexander “ZeroGravity” Kokhanovskyy.
Here are the teams from the showmatch:
Zolotarov’s ‘Team CEO’
- ALWAYSWANNAFLY,
- Iceberg
- S1mple
- m0NESY
- Evelone
ZeroGravity’s ‘Team Zero’
- Ceh9
- Edward
- Dendi
- XBOCT.
After an intense Dota 2 game, s1mple’s ‘Team CEO’ managed to come out on top by defeating Dendi’s team in the 33rd minute. Team CEO’s continued to dominate their opposition even in the CSGO game, as they took down Team Zero once again in the iconic Counter-Strike map Dust 2.
While s1mple’s victory in CSGO doesn’t come as a surprise to most fans, Dendi’s defeat in the game of Dota 2, in which he was once considered to be one of the best players in the title, can certainly come as a shock.
The event was livestreamed on Twitch and managed to hit a peak viewership of just under 85,000 with an average viewership of over 60,000.
