donk Reveals the Secrets Behind His DM Aim Training

Danil “donk” Kryshkovets has revealed details about how he trains his aim in Deathmatch. The Team Spirit player said that he does not try to constantly run around the map and take chaotic duels. Instead, he prefers to take a specific position and play around it, imitating more realistic in-game situations.

According to donk, this approach helps him train his crosshair placement and small mouse movements more effectively. He believes that constantly rushing on crowded DM servers often turns into a meaningless chain of deaths rather than proper practice, as the player simply does not have enough time to consciously work on their aim.

“Everyone plays in their own way. Some do it like me, some rush everything. I train my mouse movements so that it feels closer to a real game. There is no point in rushing everything if you are not actually training your head aiming. You just do not have time for it: either your crosshair is in the right place, or it is not. But if you hold a spot and play from it, you move your mouse slightly and adjust your crosshair. If you rush on crowded servers, you get killed every second — it is simply unproductive.”

Earlier, donk said that he rarely plays Deathmatch and usually prefers FACEIT without warming up. In April, he also admitted that DM causes him stress. However, Team Spirit’s latest vlog from IEM Cologne Major 2026 once again showed him training in this mode.
