Tournament operator ESL has released a 44-minute documentary on YouTube, dedicated to the star player of Team Spirit, Danil "donk" Kryshkovets.
Among other highlights, the video captures an emotional speech by FaZe team captain Finn "karrigan" Andersen during the IEM Katowice 2024 final. He declared that he would not allow the Russian esports player to win the tournament.
"Do everything you can on this damn map! I’m not letting a 17-year-old kid lift this trophy. Do you hear me? They’ll need a damn manager to lift the cup for donk. <...> With spaghetti arms, he’s not getting this trophy. I don’t care, guys. Give him the MVP, make the kid happy. But this damn tournament is ours”.
As a reminder, Team Spirit crushed FaZe 3-0 in the IEM Katowice 2024 final, winning $400,000 in prize money and securing spots in several major tournaments. Donk was named the most valuable player of the entire championship.
