Danil ‘donk’ Kryshkovets stands one win away from historic FACEIT Elo record

Danil “donk” Kryshkovets is on the verge of breaking the all-time FACEIT Elo record in Counter-Strike 2. Following a dominant performance on Mirage last night, the Russian player reached 5414 Elo, placing him just a single point behind the current world record.

Closing the gap on Mirage

Teaming up with his friend Kirill “Magnojez” Rodnov, donk secured a decisive 13-3 victory to push his rating to the brink of history. During the match, he delivered extraordinary individual statistics, posting an average damage per round of 128.2 alongside an 82.4% headshot rate.

Reclaiming the throne

The current highest Elo recorded in CS2 FACEIT history belongs to 16-year-old MaiL09cs, who reached 5415 Elo in November 2025. This achievement eclipsed donk’s previous personal best and world record of 5350 Elo, which was established in July 2025.

With his current standing at 5414 Elo, a victory in his next FACEIT match will guarantee donk the number one spot. While the exact number of Elo points awarded per match depends on the specific lobby and opponent ratings, a standard win typically yields around 20 points. This leaves the player well beyond the single point required to officially become the highest-rated FACEIT player in the history of the platform.
