He's Just Better: The Rise of donk
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- Counter-Strike has given us several prodigies that made us rethink what was possible.
But donk isn’t simply a prodigy, he is a force of nature.
The very first time he stepped onto the stage of a massive event, donk showed everyone that he wasn’t just ready to compete - he was ready to dominate.
The future is here, and it’s time to adapt - or get donked.

New guns like Donk and M0nesy just shows that CS is truly still alive and still pumping out new legends. New generational talent to take over the game when the old guard start winding down
Or, Eastern Europe has always been 30years behind and the rest of the world has moved on from this clown show game? 😂
If anything it shines the light on NA lack of talent cultivation. If you look at the European scene now you see all of the prospect while NRG can’t grab another core and opt instead to reuse the same disastrous eg core
@@samuelclark8064 brother you're playing PUBG in 2024 you can't be serious with that comment
@@h8z958 see "😂" times are rough man..
@@sentryion3106 cs is not that popular in North America, esports in general aren't.
This TS team is perfect. Most exciting CS I've seen in years. I hope they all stay together for a long time
I dont think they do anything remarkable, its just he is hiting a lot. Lets see in the Major. For me most exciting was the Astralis era, they were great, they had their game one step ahead of everyone else.
Bro got emotional after 1 tournament lmao kekw pepelaugh
@@pedrorequio5515 They play very good cs right now, if you watch them properly you can see
They're exiting but saying perfect is wayyyyy too soon.
@@pedrorequio5515 3-0 elim stage so far, gonna watch for the stage
This kid has it all, except a good barber 😂
Lil bro skipped the hairstyle tutorial in GTA 💀
The final tier of Ipad kid
yeah you are totally older than him

@@jarnobrock also nice pecs. You could feed a million orphans with them 50. Gals
@@Cssisabeautifulthang thx
@@jarnobrock np
I just hope his fast rise isn't followed by a fast fall
I don't know why does it really feel like that's what's going to happen
As long as this lineup is kept he will be fine. There are ppl with enough sanity keeping him in control.
thank you so much for this comment. it will trust me. he's good but he's being hyped too much. the fall will be soon.
@@stayhome4626 Movies maybe?, or history (but idk enough for that)
They aren't going to win everything. Whether you're S1mple, Zywoo or Ropz, that's just not how it works. But he'll certainly be top 5 HLTV no matter what.
He's also been built around, his team is also insane
His advantage is his youth, making him essentially nerf-proof. His flexible brain can re-learn and adapt way faster that s1mple's 26 year old brain.
the most important thing is that he is still eager to learn and to evolve.
S1mple fans will still cope lol. as if s1mple was that good at that age, donk will deffo surpass him, if he continues to improve. s1mple already hit his ceiling and will probably not produce the same numbers
@@shin29534 If this kid wins the major then we are pretty much witnessing the greatest counter strike player of all time by a wide margin.
stop with this nonsense about people being older having less capable, adaptable brains, theres zero proof to it at all, unless you are talking about some 90 year old.
S1mple fans coping hard
"The Rise of donk" sounds like my every morning
Great video as always! Been waiting for Dimitri to cover Donk! No one tells a story and a biopic as good as you my man! :)
Love all the donk videos coming out, this kid is something else entirely
Yes, he is having rotten teeth at age 17. He truly is something entirely different.
@@pojuh645 Bro why tf you looking at his teeth?
this kid is gonna be great but im sick of people comparing him to niko and s1mple
He is his own person, with his own story developing now. Why compare them? Like comparing steph curry to michael jordan, whats the point
They compare him because that's how good people think he is. "He is just as good as S1mple" shows that this kid is truly phenomenal.
That's why we compare anything.
donk is generational talent
thats jus how it is, with every sport or e sport new prodogies are compared to the old guard of previous talents and then over time tread their own path and then he will be the new benchmark people will be comparied against
i get thats the point, im just saying those comparisons are dumb in my opinion
@@tylerstwertnik6693 I hear ya
I love this video! During one of spirit’s first games of cologne I commented on a video of one of their games saying I’m loving this team rn, 100% stand by that
Donk's crosshair placement and reaction time is wicked.
Donk is in the spotlight and he undeniably deserves it, but team behind him is also a big factor. Look, how chopper performed in recent matches, he is even topfragin' sometimes. Magix and zontix have amazing game sence and delivered a lot of game winning cluthes, also Magix's second awp is on point! No words even needed for Shiro. Everyone was saying, that he will regret leaving C9, now everyone forgot about C9. Good luck to Donk and team spirit on this major!
Sh1ro and donk shall be known as the "Shonk"
do1nk
@@WarshipMolester super underrated I'll be using this in the live chat for you boss 🙏🙏
Goodbye s1mple.
Blasphemy
S1mple has caused his own downfall, Donk had nothing to do with that anyway
@@badger297keep coping
S1mple who?
@@hunatya3183 even if that didn't happened, donk would have dominated anyway
these lineup is just as insane, zont1x is also a beast
yep zont1x is a wizard and essential to their game.
''You see thats where the trouble begins... That scream, that damn scream...''
He's meant for big things. watch out
WELL that fall was quick😂
I've always liked the individual players on TS. Seeing them together makes me incredibly happy. They are the future of Counter Strike.
This aged like milk.
every body jumping on that donk wave il wait and see more of him
nah bruh he rly insane
11:16 Bro this segment couldnt be as perfect if it was planned 😂
Y’all have glazed this lil kid more than the world glazes Ronaldo or Messi 🤦🏻♂️
7:20 Look at that little wicked smile, what a guy 😂
4:07 That ain’t Zont1x, lol, that’s team Spirit’s media guy
Wait wtf LMAOOO
😂
lmao
Good to see young bloods fueling CS. Im not that old, but it feels good to watch a Game I loved then and now thrive, and still being played younger generations.
we said we had never seen anything quite like it for S1mple - twist - Zywoo - Device. only difference is, donk has won next to nothing. lets see if he can maintain it before making out that he is the world.
looks like he smells of onions
always a weak hater in comments
Apparently age restrictions are a problem for the western cs go pro scene. We need children to start playing at 4 too to compete
3:26 Let's not kid ourselves that version of Falcons didn't play well enough at any notable event so it wasn't surprising whenever they lost
😂 I love that Donk gets into it and shows of a tad of his toxic side! I didnt know he was doing that 😂
What’s if donk ends up being a “too”offensive and then just becomes the next xqc 😂
To have the amount of hours that Donk has at his age, he is designed to be a top player. Very excited to see what he does with the powerhouse position he’s been placed in
Arival of B1t was sensational, arival of Monesy was superb, but arival of Donk was supreme. This kids is an artist when it comes to CS2.
i actually played vs him back in the day and had potential to be just as good as him but didn’t pursue it.
Well that is life. I was beast on 1.6 and only on 30fps, but I got older, and other responsabilities came up, so I have also stopped playing it. Sometimes is not ment to be.
Donk is naturally so fucken good, but he is changing the META. Zero fucks given, don't talk, just DO
love this channel, pls continue
dude i have not followed cs in a while but he remind me of early cs pre csgo this is the vibe of early esports
The Goat of Goat ! He won one tournament. Its the goat ! so crazy so good. Omg
excited to see him on major! i am 16 yo and really love this guy he motivates me to play even better
A truly strong and inspiring woman of the cs world
I wasn’t around for the emergence of m0nesy but their histories seem somewhat similar; starting very young, proving himself on FPL, then quickly moving through an academy team to the big stage. Naturally they’re different people and players entirely, but they’re markers of this new generation of prodigies that I doubt will slow.
CIS Academies really know what they are doing, especially NAVI Junior and Spirit Academy
The rise of spirit looks very similar to the rise of Gambit
Similarities
- The main team is on the decline
- promoting the academy team
- winning the tournaments
- Shiro
Difference
- Gambit did it online , spirit doing it on LAN
- prodigy on Gambit was Shiro , in spirit it's Donk
Like the “Shiro” part
here after the major -->
That scream tho
DONKey 😁
WHERES DONK NOW BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY
I can’t help but make connection between Donk in CS and Zen in Rocket League. Young kids who come in and dominate a whole game. Zen’s team is now not even considered number one so we’ll see if Donk can maintain his dominance.
Yep
Bro was born in 2007 like jesus im old
He's so good so young. I would have been a cocky douche to if I was literally smoking the greatest teams/players in the world at my FIRST tier one LAN ever at SIXTEEN
Donk needs to prove himself in major now I’m not saying he is better than s1mple or m0nesy for one event but I’m happy and excited to see him play
Meh might be convinced that he will be a great player if he keeps playing like he does for more than 2 years
his style feels like a mix of stewie and s1mple.. which is hella scary tbh
I've never seen a Karen bowl cut haha
He is just annoying little boy 😂 but I like to say “donk” 😂 it is the sound of empty bucket dropping 🎉
Donk vs M0nesy will be the Niko vs S1mple of cs2 PERIOD
Crazy how good these guys aim is. I don't c how they can b so fast.
2024 Major is very exciting because of Donk, CS2 and all the teams nowadays
This Team (Team Spirit) and especially Donk came from nothing and showed all of the other teams, who is the best in Pro CS atm! So nice to see these guys rockin all those Matches until now! I'm really hyped for the Major now and want to see, how far they will come and if they will maybe win the Major also! Would be just amazing to see *-* The only thing that would be even better, is if S1mple would switch to Team Spirit xDDD But I guess we will never see that unfortunately^^
It was only a matter of time before theFraud eSports tried to cover a player that people who actually follow the scene have known about for YEARS.
u can cry its okay 👍
theFraud esports are brain rot homie, they don't actually care about the game@@Regulated907
the nerf is not directed to donk, this is so results oriented
Its just refreshint to see new bloods r coming into the big scenes ❤❤
where was donk this major? oh thats right, one hit wonder donky
Never thought that I would see a team rise up to be dominate after NAVI established win after win after win. Then CS organizers started the war in Ukraine to break up the superteam.
As niko said, he doesn't do anything special. It's gonna take a while for the top teams to get accustomed to his style. I mean, karrigan wouldn't playing for 17 years straight if he didn't know how to improvise and improve
donk takes the nerf like its KennyS all over again
Watching pros feels like I’m watching ppl pretend to not have hacks.
Bro is the max verstappen of csgo. He was born and raised in the sport
Lisan al gaib !!!!
The rise of Gollum
even if donk died, his teammates also could carry the round. like shiro, zontix and even chopper can clutch. But they need to be careful because Astralis almost got them and have shown that they can be vulnerable in Vertigo map. Since then all their opponents is picking up vertigo. Mouz already prove it and took advantage out of it. even Metizport also almost got them. although TS seems more superior in others maps but if you started to losing 1 map it can affect the good momentums.
Looks nearly as good as me when I used to still care about CS.
Who’s your favourite player - dont1x or zonk ?
No matter what goes forward, donk will always have earned the best rating in any tournament thus far.
Tied with niko
quality gaming chair
Damn if i get to see donk and s1mple together in this lifetime, i can die in peace
I'm excited for the Major.
people gotta realize, the donkey nerf, nerfs everyone.
He's great but I'm always in awe of his spaghetti arms. Weird thing to notice. But you can't unsee how strikingly small they are.
i dropped my glasses after clicking on the video and i read the title as "he's Justin Bieber".
So ready for the m0nesy vs Donk rivalry
in 13:28 Donk is wearing an aviation headset. Interesting fact.
Shiro: Choice>Hardwork
this coming major is going to be insane
donk would be the perfect player if the mf got a hair reshaping
take care of donk then spirit are nothing, faze proved that yesterday. if he moves to a top team then its time to be scared.
Spirit IS a top team, wth are you even on about? Its just that the rest of Spirit didn't really show up yesterday but something like that happens in every top team every once in a while
@@nikitos3558 without donk they are an average team. Take any 1 player out of faze and they are still a top team.
@@crombosis karrigan 1/14. ok bud.
That handwriting is criminal
It has its charm :)
Ofc it’s bad he Russian they use the Cyrillic
Give this man a haircut
Hes the final boss of 48kg kids
His biggest strength is novelty, yeah he is a newbie and a strong newbie, but sooner or later players will understand how he play and create a counter-play for him.
I really don’t believe this have to do with him being new. He’s just faster and better than people. If anything more people will copy his playstyle.
@@bananerna2601 nah, from what I heard from more experienced players (I do not play CS myself, I just like its esport) donk’s play style is resembling that of a silver player, but he can pull it off cos he is mechanically gifted and many pro players simply do not ready to see such play style on a pro level, this is some sort of an element of surprise.
@@ruslanagadzhanyan2753 Exactly, and it wins rounds. Stewie2k did the exact same stuff.
@@bananerna2601 precisely, but Stewie2K hasn’t been a godlike forever, players got used to his play style and he moved from godlike to just really good, still force to be recon with, but quite manageable, same with Donk, for now he is able to pull that of, but over time he won’t be as much of threat as he is now, since players will figure out how to combat him.
@@ruslanagadzhanyan2753 And while they do that there is still 4 other people in Donks team doing whatever they want, winning rounds.
i feel really bad for team spirit and zontix and sh1ro that donk is taking all the highlights, although this is just a honeymoon peroid of donk and eventaully he will also get overshadowed, hype is shit he is just lucky
Rise And Fall In Just 1 Tournament 😂
"He was born in 2007" I just felt like an old man even tho im 22
u were born in the 2000s lil boi
Do not ignore Zontix
It was amazing to witness, but I need to add against Mouse sports we had nice match
i think it's too early for this kind of video, Major is around the corner, let's see how the kid will kick some ass
Cheating, team spirit has been accused of cheating In other words. I don’t know how people miss this, they were all clearly cheating in Katowice.
@@johnson5725 cope
He donked all over everyone...
My new favourite player for sure he is so fun to watch
He is the GOAT at 17 years old.
Even karaign was flabbergasted
