Teen Prodigy Donk Shatters CS2 Kill Records, Eyes Top Player of the Year
September 5, 2024
Seventeen-year-old Danil 'donk' Kryshkovets has quickly risen to prominence in the Counter-Strike 2 esports scene.
In a recent match against Wildcard, Donk set a new record by achieving 38 regulation kills on the map Ancient while playing for Team Spirit.
This remarkable feat surpassed the previous record of 37 kills held by Lucas 'Lucaozy' Neves.
The match concluded with a narrow score of 13-11, showcasing Donk's skills in a high-pressure environment.
Throughout the match, he maintained an impressive kill-death ratio of 75 to 29 and an average damage rating of 131.3.
Donk's performance included 11 multi-kills, significantly contributing to Team Spirit's overall performance despite some losses.
Following this, he continued his impressive run by posting 37 kills in overtime on the subsequent map, Nuke, leading his team to a 2-0 victory.
With these achievements, Donk now holds the top position in CS2's one-map kill count leaderboard.
There are increasing expectations that Donk may be named the top Counter-Strike player of the year due to his outstanding performances.
Notably, he is one of only two players in the top-ten kill leaderboard for CS2 in LAN events and the only player to appear in the top ten twice.
The current leaderboard also features players like Lucas 'Lucaozy' Neves and Mason 'Lake' Sanderson, who have delivered notable performances.
Earlier in his career, Donk had already achieved 35 kills in a single map against The Chosen Few in an online match.
