If we're talking about old/current players then no, no doubt, we won't see 22k users coming back.
Obviously, 90% of the 24-26k users that were online when SteamKO was released, are Turkish players which won't be able to access the server.
If the member base will increase and we'll see new players, I am sure we can hit 25k users online again.
There's a lot of advertising plans going behind the scenes
