S1mple notes that the presence of cheaters diminishes the desire to play in the premier mode

Alexander "s1mple" Kostylev from Natus Vincere has expressed concern over the high number of cheaters in the premier mode of CS2. Due to this issue, the esports player does not wish to participate in matches of this mode.

I won't go to the premier. Ten games, ten times playing against cheaters. Invested 20,000 to stop people from laughing at my eight. But because of the cheaters, the desire to play there disappears."
