Donk named MVP at Esports World Cup
Danil “donk” Kryshkovets was named MVP at the Esports World Cup after a 1.50 tournament rating, eight player-of-the-map awards and a 1.87 on map four of the final.
Danil “donk” Kryshkovets was named MVP at the $2,000,000 Esports World Cup after posting a 1.50 tournament rating. He earned eight player-of-the-map awards and recorded a 1.87 rating on the fourth map of the grand final.
Donk averaged 1.32 KPRW across the event, did not register any map below a 1.00 rating and posted a playoff rating of 1.50. In the quarter-final against Vitality he posted a 1.46 rating, a performance that helped his team advance.
The award is donk’s second HLTV x 1XBET MVP of 2026. It is the 12th medal of his career and his ninth at Big Events, a total that ties him with Nikola “NiKo” Kovač for fourth place on the all-time leaderboard.
Earlier in the year donk was eliminated early at IEM Cologne and lost in the BLAST Bounty grand final. His showing at the Esports World Cup followed those results.
On stream, commentator flameZ reacted to donk’s play on Mirage: “Sometimes you have to respect individual brilliance; today donk took the show on Mirage.”
Donk has never finished outside the top two in the year-end top 20 rankings. The medal at the Esports World Cup places him among the contenders alongside Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut and Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov for year-end honours.
