He's Just Better: The Rise of donk
Рет қаралды 274,704
3 ай бұрынCounter-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

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!

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.

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.
