Ridonkulous: CS prodigy claims IEM Katowice MVP by a landslide

Donk has dunked on the competition
Counter-Strike has a new opposition obliterator, record smasher, and Katowice trophy holder. He is only 17 years old. Donk flew Team Spirit on dragon wings to a sweeping victory, utterly crushing the competition with composure akin to that of the most experienced pros. The MVP award was his from the start.

The youngest player to ever lift the IEM Katowice trophy and youngest to win an IEM Katowice MVP has blown expectations out of the water. He joined the Team Spirit roster in July 2023, taking the leap from academy to pro. Less than a year later, his IEM Katowice grand final performance earned him a 1.93 rating with a 124.0 ADR. He earned 82 kills with only 40 deaths and remained unflappable under even the most intense pressure.
