Donk Dominates FACEIT Leaderboard for Fifth Season in a Row

Team Spirit’s renowned player, Danil ‘donk’ Kryshkovets, has made waves by clinching the top position on the FACEIT leaderboards for an impressive fifth season in a row. Demonstrating exceptional talent in Counter-Strike 2, the star achieved the world’s highest ELO rating by the end of Season 5.

FACEIT is a giant in esports and is a platform essential for gamers to play on an equal level with each other for both new and professional players. It has turned into the ideal place for players to improve their Counter-Strike skills, giving them plenty of chances to meet the pros.

Competitive Highlights of Season 5

At a staggering ELO total of 5,283, Donk led the leaderboard, significantly outpacing Maksim ‘kyousuke’ Lukin—recently signed by Team Falcons—who secured the second spot. Kylsuke’s teammate, Ilya ‘m0NESY’ Osipov, secured the 3rd position by putting up an impressive fight.

Notably, other highlights were showcased, including the victory of ARCRED’s Boris ‘Ryujin’ Kim, who rose up to win the European FACEIT Pro League, coming fourth overall and boasting an ELO of 4,851. Stanley “calamity” Chiu of Canada, Marcos “fokiu” Paulo of Brazil, and Zeyad “OSCAR” Alrummani of Saudi Arabia won the North American, South American, and Middle Eastern circuits respectively.

Looking Ahead: FACEIT Season 6

Following the conclusion of Season 5, FACEIT revealed exciting details about the upcoming Season 6. To ensure competitive balance, the ELO ratings of top players have been softly reset. Anubis is out of the map pool, while Overpass makes a comeback after Valve added it to the Active Duty roster again earlier in July.

Season 6 will offer a chance to reach the leaderboard between July 22nd to November 23rd. This means players will get to prove themselves for four months.
