donk Sets FACEIT Elo World Record

Team Spirit rifler Danil donk Kryshkovets has set a new Elo record on FACEIT in Counter-Strike 2. The Russian esports player reached 5434 Elo, surpassing the previous best result held by Metizport’s Liam MaiL09 Tugel. In November last year, MaiL09 reached 5415 Elo.

For donk, this is a new personal best on the platform. His previous highest result was 5360 Elo during FACEIT Season 5. Kryshkovets has long been considered one of the strongest players on the platform: he won the first five FACEIT seasons, but lost the lead in Seasons 6 and 7 to MaiL09 and Daniil qw1nk1 Kabilov, respectively.

donk’s progress in Season 8 looks especially impressive. He started the season with 3935 Elo and gained 1499 points over 152 matches. This growth allowed him not only to return to the fight for first place, but also to set a new world rating record.

Recently, Kryshkovets also posted the best single-map individual rating of his career. In a match against 100 Thieves during the online stage of BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2, he finished Dust2 with a 2.84 rating.
