Danil “donk” Kryshkovets has officially claimed the highest FACEIT Elo rating in the history of Counter-Strike 2. The Russian player reached a new peak of 5434 Elo, surpassing the previous world record of 5415 established by Liam “MaiL09” Tügel.
A dominant run in Season 8
The record-breaking moment is the result of a highly efficient climb during the platform’s current competitive season. Donk started Season 8 at 3935 Elo and gained 1499 points over the course of just 152 matches. Across these games, he recorded an average FACEIT Rating of 1.49.
The record was achieved last night with two wins on Anubis and Mirage. You can check out donk’s FACEIT profile on our FACEIT Finder tool.
Pushing the ceiling
After securing the number one spot, the Team Spirit star is now setting a new baseline for the platform’s top competitors. With eight days remaining before the conclusion of Season 8, the player has the opportunity to raise the record even further before the ladder resets.
