Molodoy Ranked #6 of 2025 by HLTV

FURIA sniper Danil “molodoy” Golubenko has finished 6th in HLTV’s Top 20 Players of 2025, marking a huge milestone in his professional career and his first appearance this high in the annual ranking.

Molodoy joined the Brazilian organization in April 2025 and quickly became one of the team’s key players. Over the course of the year, he helped FURIA secure four major trophies: FISSURE Playground 2, Thunderpick World Championship, IEM Chengdu, and BLAST Rivals Fall. His average rating across the season stood at 1.14, an impressive figure for an AWPer competing consistently against top-tier opposition.

HLTV also highlighted a “bold prediction” for molodoy made by his compatriot Assanali Serikkali, better known as her1tage, who has followed Danil’s career since the very beginning.

“I’ve known him for a very long time — we started playing together back in internet cafés. I know his potential and his willingness to work hard. He dreams of playing on the big stage, and while everything depends on him, I truly believe he’s a very talented and hardworking player. If he keeps putting in the work, I’m confident he’ll reach the very top,” her1tage said.

Finishing 6th in HLTV’s Top 20 for 2025 firmly establishes molodoy as one of the most impactful AWPers on the CS2 scene and confirms his move to FURIA as one of the strongest transfers of the season.
