Magnojez on comparing donk with s1mple and ZywOo

Player from BetBoom Team in CS2, Kirill "Magnojez" Rodnov, discussed the skill level of Danil "donk" Kryzhovka from Team Spirit. He shared his thoughts on the young esports athlete in an interview with CS2 NEWS channel on Telegram.

"He [donk] is very determined, plays a lot of the game, which allows him to constantly stay in form. That's his strongest trait. Also, he's just very talented."

Rodnov noted that comparing donk to snipers like Alexander "s1mple" Kostylev and Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut is challenging, but stated that Kryzhovka does not lag even in their best form — at least in terms of contributing to the team's success.

"It's difficult to compare these players, they have different roles. But either way, I think they are on the same level, just making a huge difference for their team."

Earlier, HLTV.org named donk as one of the main candidates for the title of the best player of 2024 alongside ZywOo and m0NESY. However, donk himself does not include himself in the list of the strongest — in his ranking, besides Herbaut and Osipov, is Team Spirit sniper Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov.
