donk set to smash all-time record at IEM Katowice
The Siberian menace has blown everybody off the server in Poland. If he delivers in the Grand Final, he can be the best in the history at the prestigious event.
In what could be an epic conclusion to IEM Katowice, FaZe and Team Spirit are lined up for the Grand Final in the Spodek Arena in Poland. FaZe, with experienced veterans such as Finn "karrigan" Andersen and Håvard "rain" Nygaard takes on the hottest team on the planet right now with 17-year-old Danil "donk" Kryshkovets at the front of the pack with insane firepower. The young Spirit rifler has been the talk of the town since CS2 was released, and at Katowice, the Siberian-born player has annihilated all opposition averaging an insane 1.63 rating. The closest competitor right now in Katowice is Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov at a 1.35 rating. m0NESY was knocked out in the quarter-finals, while David "frozen" Čerňanský is the second highest-ranked player still in the tournament with a 1.28 rating.
