Team Spirit secured their spot in the IEM Cologne Major playoffs, but the qualification did not stop the team’s star rifler, Danil “donk” Kryshkovets, from continuing his individual grind. The Russian player immediately queued for five consecutive matches on FACEIT, pushing his individual rating past the 5,000 ELO milestone.
According to platform data from the Pley.gg’s FACEIT Finder tool, donk maintained an average damage per round (ADR) of over 100 across all five maps played during the night.
His performances included a 134 ADR on Mirage and a peak of 144 ADR on Anubis, replicating the statistical dominance he has displayed on the official tournament stage at the Major so far. He currently maintains a 60.0% win rate and a 1.44 K/D ratio over 7,112 career matches on the platform.
donk is clear number 1 in Season 8
Reaching 5,014 ELO places donk at the top of the active Season 8 leaderboard. He currently leads ahead of Orhan Yunus “Vej” Hamarat, a 21-year-old Turkish player representing Bushido Wildcast, who occupies second place with a rating of 4,522 ELO.
The subsequent spots on the leaderboard are held by Vladislav “lattykk” Vydrin, a 20-year-old professional competing for 1win, who sits in third place with 4,383 ELO, and Team Falcons’ Maxim “kyousuke” Lukin, playing under the alias CEMEN_BAKIN, who holds fourth place with 4,356 ELO.
While donk represents the highest active rating in the current cycle, the historical benchmark for the highest FACEIT ELO recorded in Counter-Strike 2 history remains with Liam “MaiL09” Tugel. The 16-year-old Swedish player achieved a peak rating of 5,415 ELO in November 2025.
