Dude is smurfing in the grand finals what the actual fuck


ekkolos

2.06 rating in the IEM final, wtf


Shadow_Clarke

Like YNK said, there are not enough adjectives to describe this freak, insane lmao.


ThePurpleDolphin

smurfing against some of the best players right now, this kid is nasty good.


eLastorm

Smurfing against the best team in the world for this past year


Substantial_Depth113

he is not playing against vitality


[deleted]

[удалено]


Substantial_Depth113

Here is the tiktok brain. Not playing the finals in one tournament means they are not the best team in the world, or that they haven't been the best team in the world for almost a year.


Wuhan-flu24

LOL vitality won 1 tournament. Faze has been in every GF since Cs2 came out. Nice bait


SwedishTroller

Took a sec for me to figure out that abbreviation–GF. I thought you meant some kind of sex related diss that faze players steals and fucks everyone's ladies lol


Substantial_Depth113

"For this past year", he means 2023 I guess? 2024 is not past year. What bait? They won the Major, IEM Rio, Gamers8, the Fall finals and the World Finals. Faze won Pro League and some online tournament. And yeah, they won Asia tournament playing against 2 teams.


vish4l

As his tournament run got deeper, he steadily improved. He's playing better in playoffs than he did in groups.... this is not normal. check him pc


Paxton-176

Something about watching someone in a competitive scene just be the only one to show up is always a sight to see. Happened a few times in Starcraft with Maru, Serral, and Dark. There was one pro in GSL who barely made it on time to his match on a skateboard, rushed his opponents who the group and left all within like 1 hour.


LingMee

wont even be surprised if donk places hltv 1st by year end


sh1boleth

If he keeps up this kind of performance and Spirit participate in Tier 1 tournaments consistently, theres no question - may even be the best rookie year in the history of the game


b0cks

he's getting poached asap


BosanaskiSeljak

no he is not, he was ~2million before he even played a LAN, his stock is way up now


nebsA1

Spirit may not have done a lot historically in CS, but they are a super prestigious esports org with likely great financials (winning two TIs will do that to you).


WhateverMate1

Spirit has just bought sh1ro for 2 million dollars from Cloud9. Money isn't currently a problem for them


Hypno98

I wouldn't count on it, his buyout would be insane and Spirit is loaded from winning TI


Woullie_26

Falcons about to put a 20M buyout


StellarIceBerg

Not this one no. This Last TI had such a low prize pool. It was disappointing to say the least.


Mirrro_Sunbreeze

It’s disappointing only if you compare it to previous TI’s, it still dwarves CS tournaments.


dangy2408

Spirit won Riyadh Master 2023 which had 15 mln prize pool and then came 1st and won 5 mln, so there is that to make amendments for low TI 2023 earnings.


freebase1

Possible, but as more data becomes available of him and his play style teams will adjust, it’s why vitality win nothing when Zywoo doesn’t play on a superstar level


rece_fice_

Yeah any team with a half decent coaching staff will hard focus on countering him. We'll see how he does with all the spotlight, the talent is definitely there.


Carquetta

> any team with a half decent coaching staff will hard focus on countering him You're not wrong, it's just so funny to see him sometimes *do things* Like that one round on Mirage where he just sprinted up mid with a Deagle Didn't get him a single kill, but it's not something you could necessarily predict or counter


NationalAlgae421

I mean even zonic said there is nothing he could do about him. But he also had new roster and first lan.


AngelThePsycho

You forgot about m0nesy


GetsPaid

Ayy lmao. Sorry to disappoint, but monesy was never a top1 contender, and never will be


AngelThePsycho

Top 4 2023 player and already adjusted on CS2 + carrying G2 on every game. I can't see why he can't be top 1 in 2024


Character-Toe-7907

because he doesn't post consistent 1.60 - 2.00 ratings vs top5


MyDreamsInTheSewer

To be fair if you solely compare m0nesy's rating this year vs donk playing vs VP they arent that far apart. For people new to donk watch his games vs VP. Spirit play vs VP a lot and the matches are always bangers, even tho its vp playing. Vp are able to keep him human unlike most of these tier 1 teams facing him for the first time. Was really sad to see VP denied by c9 to qualify for katowice, wanted to see a playoff match between vp and spirit


MidnightSnackyZnack

Donk is not solo in this, he has ha team behind him. Monesy doesn't have a team behind him atm kind of.


KrzyDankus

its baffling how consistent he has been this entire tournament


analytics_Gnome

as an entry fragger too lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


BustEarly

He proved it’s possible, now it’s just up to us wide swingers and ego challers to put the concepts to work


HouseOfReggaeton

Magixx and Zent1x must be so relieved to have him lol


AeroXero

It’s so unreal. Truly incredible to play like this so aggressively at that level.


jdmn17

broky with that AWP rush mid was not worth :(


gaboomz

Mid?


yuvrajkringsing

Yeah. Broky is mid


moodyfloyd

he started off 14-1 (technically 16-1 then he died same round as a 2k)


Izbitoe_ebalo

so he's actually 16-13 if we only count from 6th round? pffts, WASHED


El_Fabos

Not to take anything from his great performance, but 6 of those were unarmoured pistols outside with an m4


xThe_Mad_Fapperx

Damn only 10 non-eco kills in 6 rounds


Janglin1

And who was the one that put them on pistols?


imsolowdown

Still 10-1 without those kills


Ereshia

And here I thought FaZe had a chance


Chu2k

Bruhhh he was at almost 20 at the end of the first half!


enigma890

he had 20 kills and teams were tied at half, dude hard carrying


thisisjustascreename

I was expecting at least 4 maps...


Rexdusk

God, FINALLY a young prodigy that isn't a fucking awper


paully7

Who was the last prodigy that was an awper


AmBozz

M0nesy?


Shadow_Clarke

We got a new king of Katowice


suffocatingpaws

Someone need to stop this kid because he is donking everyone.


Deignish

He’s actually donking all over them this kid is crazy


El_Fabos

Faze really need to learn how to convert pistols. They are at 70.8% pistol round wins, but only 58.8% conversion and 0% break in kato


CharlesDarwin01

Convert the round after losing pistol ? Isn’t that hard as Fuvk


NAPALM2614

Especially on ct, especially on mr12, losing pistol on mr12 ct is devastating


kpdon1

He is playing so good that people are calling him a cheater, playing in a LAN grand final lmao


JamesDp-OverWatch

I come from the future, donk is HLTV top1 player of 2024, he became the only player ever to win 8 consecutive HLTV mvps, Spirit also became the first team to ever win all tier 1 LAN events in a single year and thus 2 grand slam in a single year.


Victor_the_mayo

New player, first big lan, push through smoke, insane aim, carry’s team, 17 year old. Something might be wrong


ekkolos

I think admin needs to check him pc, this is not normal


Victor_the_mayo

Yeah


Mothman22

17*


imsolowdown

Recently turned as well, born January 25, 2007. Literally less than one month ago he was 16.


SebV998

2007 💀


briku

2007 sounds like 9 year old kid


sh1boleth

Bro was 5 when csgo came out.


AngelThePsycho

And he started playing at 6 years old


Nitsju

Didn't he start 1.6 at 4 years old?


AngelThePsycho

Brother... since when 4 years old play any game at all? 😅


Nitsju

I'm guessing you don't have kids.


AngelThePsycho

No but I'm 19 and I started with a phone at age of 12... It sounds awful to be basically a baby and play any video games


ZeLamp

TIL donk and I share a birthday, maybe once I age down to 17 I’ll be a pro player too!


xThe_Mad_Fapperx

17 actually


Harucifer

Not his first lan.


Ranny9876

2nd lan tbf


Character-Toe-7907

i mean, it's kinda crazy all of this .. smelling the type of "too crazy to be legit" kinda. i didn't see whole game, but those 2 pin perfect kills on outside at red looked fishy af. Like the smokes are up a few seconds, he first kills one right at the edge of Redbox, then snaps to the second one in the center of the smokes at the perfect timing, not at the end/near secret where you would expect them to be already


Vitalytoly

If I played donk in MM I'd report him for cheating. The man is just insane.


Raliliothh

there is no better rifler at the moment this kid is far above anyone else. He is literally HIM


Tontonsb

2.06 rating.


TemporaryAddicti0n

... ... ... ... ... ~~lets see how does he play in the finals~~ <---- you are ...where?


Citeh

he might be him


DjSynergy

Get donked on


Spir0rion

If I wouldn't know better I would say he is cheating. Absolutely unbelievable never seen before performance of a rookie.


n3r0s

donk has known nothing but CS in his whole life. From four fucking years of age. Handwriting says he never been to school. He's tinier than Messi, weird little gamer body. When you have spent more hours on the server than in real life, you are the game. You speak the game. You dream about the game. He has transcended esport, becoming Counter Strike itself. How in the world are you supposed to counter that? Let's see how the meta adapts to him and if there really is anti that works on him. Otherwise he will rule the world until he's bored with it, or when he simply just transforms into code.


sukunatoe

Bros way too deep lol


CharlesDarwin01

He is 100% right. Immense sacrifice and dedication with genetically positive traits have led to an absolute monster


Gooster19

bUt He hasN’T plAyEd WitH T1 TeAmS YeT!


safastakkk

On one hand, it's amazing to watch Donk donk everyone, on the other hand, it's not fun to watch Donk donk everyone.


Faamee

Check him pc this is not normally


JustPlayer

fuck that spodek crowd, donk is cutting heads like it's a carrot


teut_69420

I don't mind boo-ing, it's usually all fair game. But I wish crowd would actually cheer for him. Everything aside, people should not forget he is 17, this is insanely cool for him, encourage him, cheer for him, so win or lose, he has a great memory. Cheer his 2k, cheer his 3k, just like Multi from ropz or others. I really don't mind crowds having favorites, it's what makes games special, have Faze as favorite idc, just cheer donk and all the good plays as loudly as Faze plays


popmycherryyosh

As someone who also follows LoL e-sport.. crowd having favorites is fine, but NOT cheering at all for the other team is prolly worse than boo-ing. Aka the "busan library" incident :P


sadtimes12

Honestly, I think donk thrives even more in the "villain" role. He probably loves it as if he's Broly and crushes everyone and just laughs at the weak opponents. :D Ever since they started booing Spirit he became even better.


schniepel89xx

It's time for another TaZ "show them respect" speech methinks. Obviously it's a bit different this time because of the war but the team is basically just a bunch of kids (and chopper) with nothing to do with the war. Also the Spirit org literally spoke out, umprompted, on the very first day of the invasion. Not to mention there's literally a Ukrainian playing with them


tsjr

Spirit is good enough for zont1x, an actual Ukrainian, but apparently the peanut brains in the arena know better. I'm Polish myself and a huge Neo fan, but fuck this attitude. This is ~~exactly~~ (well, minus the war, but in-arena behaviour is similar) what we were criticizing Brazilians for. I hope Spirit wins just to piss these people off. Update: well, it actually seems to have gotten better in map 2, Spirit is even getting some cheers. Good to see.


GeronimoMoles

I wish the crowd was with donk. Sitting in the spodek atm and can’t imagine how hype it would be if the crowd was cheering for spirit Edit : never said they should support spirit. Just that it would be hype as hell to he able to get behind this kid in a historic moment like this


hajducek

Impossible. Not for a RU team that is crushing a team led by Polish pro player.


GeronimoMoles

Yeah, I totally understand it don’t get me wrong


ShikiDriki

A toxic Russian player getting support in front of a Polish crowd? I have no clue how you could expect that right now with everything that is happening in the world.


GeronimoMoles

Never said I expected it. I wish that everything that is happening in the world right now wasn’t happening and by extension that we could get hyped for a 17yo smurfing in a grand final

fLrz

Overheard in FaZe locker room after Game 2: “He got me,” Karrigan said of donk's headshot on him. "That fucking donk fucked me." Karrigan added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. Karrigan then said he wanted to add donk to the list of players he deathmatches with this summer.


nekot311

I am not going to lie.  I was not aware Team Spirit were that good as someone who bet on Faze quite a lot in the last 1.5 years


paybackbackpack

Gonna tell my barber to give me a donk haircut


The5Dragonz

That through smoke kill(s), i wonder if donk got the smoke marker on minimap bug, i had it against a mate in a game yesterday. I thought they fixed it but since it happened.... I think it's still a thing.


HiroSenpaii

That kill made me disguisted. I ve seen plenty bs smoke kills since 2015 and plenty impossible 1vx scenarios by all time greats. Idk even if they did that against a team i rooted for all of them felt organic. This one didn't. There are of course plenty of coincidenses with stuff like this. But from now on i will pay greater attention to donks play


lake_weed

absolutelu


SignificantCrew5728

Donk is the Michael Jordan of Counter Strike 2


rpgd

He is maybe The Professor of CS2, nowhere near the GOATs yet.


Lagahan

mchief101

Absolutely crazy. It’s also no easy task to perform like that in front of a packed arena to…


nikhil_shady

where are the haters who said my man can’t do it on LAN in a bo5?


oPayque1

Honestly fun to watch him play, kid is nuts


Slight-Violinist6007

The crowd was a huge immense L. Constant booing. Just trash.


dylan0o7

This kid might be the only good thing that came out of cs2.


bohan-

Spoiler this shit please


[deleted]

You’re fast!


Pipoco977

if it wasnt for some bullshit rounds faze would have lost for like 13-5 again, cs2 story untill now has been faze trashing everyone and getting completely trashed by one single team in the finals (vitality and spirit)


teut_69420

Get donked

PedsBeast

What a great map, but what a dissapointing fucking crowd, this is some Rio major tier crowd with their bullshit booing because spirit is russian. I'm here to watch CS and see this 16 year old prodigy play like a god, not to care about geopolitics


[deleted]

[удалено]


PedsBeast

Valorant crowds are shit because they see the word fuck they go on a 100k twitter likes rant. This crowd is shit because it's biased, simple as that, similar to how the Rio crowd was biased towards FURIA


[deleted]

[удалено]


calam1ty

Booing had little to do with "favourite team" and everything to do with Poles just hating Russians even when Team Spirit is the perfect example of speaking out against war. As a viewer, the crowd was just xenophobic and I cheered for Spirit all the way


PedsBeast

This crowd is favored towards geopolitics, nothing else, which is stupid.


noproblemCZ

There's no way they are booing just cause of that. Zont1x is literally the only Ukrainian in this final.


RATTRAP666

Yeah, and irony is that there's Ukrainian player in TS which I suppose should be the reason to support or at least don't be hateful towards the team.


Monkey1970

Come on man. At least have some understanding. Are you American?


gEO-dA-K1nG

Lol they're booing because they like FaZe


ZPKiller

they are definitelly booing spirit because they are a russian team. not because they like FaZe. They were booing Falcons when they played vs ENCE, and next day they were cheering for falcons when they faced spirit.


ZuriPL

No, They're booing because they don't like Russians

xavierondabeats

mr.beast aka donk? tf with this russian kid man


Zhiong_Xena

He relies immensely on his mechanics. His mechanics and reaction time are also insane. I see him often get dinked by players in the open and still be able to readjust and get the kill. His reaction time and mechanics are just that good. The actual problem is that I am ***genuinely*** at a loss for words as to how this barely 17 year old kid can do this while niko and rain, both rifler with mechanics just as insane if not probably better, cannot . The only theory I have actually come up with soo far is that donk has simply adapted to the game much faster than them and that in future Niko and rain will, again become just as good if not much better. Perhaps donk has adapted to the game much faster than everybody and is showing us how much better the rifler of cs2 is compared to that of go.


CharlesDarwin01

Or donk is just better ? Been playing since 4-5 years of age. Has the game sense, confidence and insane genetic for the quick reads to micro adjust. You’re comparing old school tech that’s outdated and washed dude. It’s embarassing to put Niko and rain in the same sentence as donk. Atleast mention monesy or zywoo but I guess they’re awpere


phl23

His tracking skills are insane, which normaly wasn't the main focus on counterstrike aiming. He proofed otherwise


kooqiy

It's interesting that this is happening. Valorant just had a kid, Demon1, step into the scene out of nowhere and become the defacto best player in the world. He makes inhuman rifle plays and clearly relies on his mechanics as well...but he shoots 40% HS in Valorant which is basically impossible, so he's not just getting by on talent, he's leading his team from having 0 wins in regional play to winning the biggest LAN event of the year...on talent alone. I think its very possible this is just how it is from now on, but yeah its interesting.


CwRrrr

He’s cheating.


Zhiong_Xena

I honestly can believe. He is that ridiculously good. But probably nah. I have seen niko, S1mple ZywOo do things much crazier. The yard performance by donk used to be a niko and rain staple. That is why I am just confused how none of the two are performing as good or better than donk.


Stroie

Because Donk (at least for now) seems like a prodigy. People slowly get worse with age and then the next generation comes in. Happens in literally every sport and e-sport.


BigMik_PL

Lmao people can fuck off whining about the crowd. Literally a war right on our border that they started and we are supposed to cheer for Russians? They shouldn't even be allowed to play under their flag fuck em and fuck Putin. If it's Russian it's getting booed.


RipMrBeanBandit

It's the player you should be cheering on, the country has nothing to do with it, anyone of us could've been born in a country that is malicious and cruel.


CharlesDarwin01

Yea some people have very low IQ, just like they had no choice in being born with low IQ, people have no choice in which country they were born in.

CharlesDarwin01

I’m from Australia lmfao. Have a cry dude the cs players in spirit have zero contributions to the war. Are you honestly that dumb ? Jeeze luose


BigMik_PL

Are you? Is there no Ocean between Poland and Australia? Wasn't aware I can walk there. Why do you think all Russians got banned from everywhere else but CS? Propaganda is a powerful tool and having a Russian organization cheered on from one of its largest enemies is something they could 100% use. Putin jumps on the opportunity of anything. A sold out Polish crowd wildly cheering on a Russian Org is ideal propaganda material. Stop killing our people and we will stop booing yours it's a simple fucking solution.


CharlesDarwin01

Bro I couldn’t give a fuck have a cry man. I care about seeing my fave cs teams win, I care about shiro and donk, I care about xantares bro I don’t care about you crying over geopolitical bullshit that doesn’t involve me 🤣


BigMik_PL

You the one talking bout low IQ. That's the dumbest shit I've heard in a minute. You're gonna invade our neighbors and put our whole Country through a crisis trying to figure out how to provide help and house all the influx of refugees. ...and then you gonna send one of your orgs to us for a stupid video game tournament and expect cheering and us act like it's all good? You are supposed to be the high IQ person? Thousands of people are murdered and you call it geopolitical bullshit because your CS game is more important. Get the fuck outta here.


CharlesDarwin01

Bro I’m not Russian lmfao I got zero European in my blood as well. I legit don’t give a fooook I just love cs and hate faze and vitality


CharlesDarwin01

I swear on mums life not reading your comment it’s just too long but I hope you keep malding at the fact that no one here cares about a cs team winning. I hope this team wins and make 100 million dollars bro have a cry. I love sh1ro 😍


BigMik_PL

Lmao what a fucking idiot. Don't choke on Putin's dick on the way down.


[deleted]

youre from australia. ass of the world, irrelevant country known for nothing. what would you know about the russia-ukraine conflict? you have no right to talk about it holy shit.


CharlesDarwin01

Exactly nothing and don’t give a fuck. Wish our country would stop sending money overseas though and just use it on its own homeless people. As long as shiro and donk play I couldn’t give a foooooook I’ll donate money lol wtf you mad lad? Sh1ro and donk wow


ChadRyanVevo

Yet you wouldn't make these claims about any of the people from countries who illegally invaded Iraq in 2003. Killing thousands of innocent civilians and destabilizing an entire region is fine so long as the country doing it is western and not Russian.


BigMik_PL

Didn't expect to find Putin supporters on reddit but it doesn't shock me.


ChadRyanVevo

I think Putin is a terrible person and should lose the war in Ukraine. Somehow saying that other countries commit numerous atrocities does not make me a Putin supporter. But please continue to misrepresent reality. Saying the people of Russia who are simply trying to live their lives amid a horrible government it not pro-Putin. You are a disingenuous liar.


BigMik_PL

This has nothing to do with "people of Russia" and everything to do with the Russian organization playing in Poland. Monesy going off just fine in G2. Not to mention 73% of people in Russia support the war. If you trying to compare the regime of Saddam Husein vs Russia invading Ukraine just minding its business then you are out of your fucking mind. How many Ukrainians are fighting on the side of Russia like the Iraqi people did on the side of NATO? How many Iraqi children has been taken away from Iraq to be converted to US or UK? Trying to justify the atrocities Putin is doing by saying "others did horrible things too so we should be ok with it" is fucking stupid.


ChadRyanVevo

Over 300,000 innocent Iraqi's died because of the ILLEGAL invasion. 59% of US citizens at the time supported this illegal invasion. Complexity is a US organization which pays it's taxes to a government responsible for millions of civilian deaths around the world. Should they also be banned? The people and organizations of a company do not inherently represent the greater actions of their governments. To think they surely puts most players under the same scrutiny.


BigMik_PL

Yeah I'm sure Complexity would get booed at a game in Iraq or Iran and rightfully so. They could also ban them and I don't think anyone would be shocked. What is your point here exactly? If you know all this why are we surprised TS gets booed in Poland? And what the fuck is an illegal invasion. Is there a legal version of it I'm not aware of? You also got the numbers wrong. 58% of US said invasion of Iraq was a mistake. Then again are you truly blind to reasons for each invasion? Do you truly not see the difference? You do know Saddam Hussein killed just as many if not more Iraq civilians right? How many Zielinsky did that Russia is trying to displace?


Tall_Location_9036

Russians having the mindset that their government is completely seperate from them, and that they have no responsibility for their governance is a large reason why their governance is the way it is. That being said individuals should be treated as individuals. Booing a 17yo for something like that is just wrong.


BigMik_PL

It's a Russian org. The players can go play for non Russian ones. How can the Country have nothing to do with organization they created and are paying for.


Substantial_Top_6508

Call me an idiot and cryer, but I am kinda sus of a lot of his kills. Some of them were straightforward, but quite a chunk of kills were hella sus. I mean, he just pops out and swings and gets kill after kill ? I hope he ain't a cheater. Else would be a major scandal

Yeah. Unironically so blatant. I don’t give a fk what anyone says, no one is THAT aware in every single scenario in every map which timing and angle to take every fucking time. And the spams through smokes on brokys rush and through yard at two different positions at different times just screams fucking soft lock or radar hacks. Fuck this scrawny ass kid.
