Of course he isn't, but he was pretty much the best/2nd best CSGO player for like 5 years in a row and was around top 5 for 2 years before that. While like you said not accomplishing as much with his teams. Guy like dev1ce has been top rated for long as well, but he was also on Astralis who used to dominate. Faker is in league of his own, but in many ways s1mple has been "the Faker of FPS" or at least the closest to that title. Both are some of the most known and respected players in esport.
but what i'm saying is that s1mple could have just kept playing and keeping up his legacy as a goated player, but instead just decided to throw it all out because he didn't like cs2, becoming almost irrelevant as a current player. Also to point that s1mple was still really good individual in 2023, and he could have easily kept performing on top level for years to come and potentially win titles. While Faker still plays, wins and adapts while arguably not being at his peak anymore.
