CS community left in awe of donk after record-breaking tournament

The young Spirit rifler was praised from every corner of the Counter-Strike world after his insane run at IEM Katowice.

2024-02-12 | @Anders_Frost

- A rookie. A guy who just turned 17 years old is the best player to ever do it in a tournament. That is crazy!

The words from Janko "YNk" Paunović on the desk of IEM Katowice said it all. The astonishing fact, that Team Spirit’s Danil "donk" Kryshkovets had just pulled off the best tournament in terms of rating of any players in the past in his S-Tier tournament debut has left the CS community in a mixed state of shock and awe of the performances of the young Russian player.

Here are some of the reactions on Twitter after the Grand Final win for Team Spirit against FaZe at IEM Katowice.

The next tournament for Danil "donk" Kryshkovets and Team Spirit is the European RMR tournament for the upcoming PGL Major in Copenhagen. Here Spirit is placed in Group B, which is set to start February 19th.
