Thorin: "Spirit's decision to skip tournaments could cost donk the title of best player of 2024"

CS2 analyst Duncan "Thorin" Shields discussed Team Spirit's decision to decline invitations to some major tournaments. On the social network X, he noted that this could impact Danil "donk" Kryshkovets' chances of becoming the best player of the year.

"Team Spirit's decision to skip tournaments might cost donk the title of the best player of 2024. Even imagining such a scenario is sad."

It was recently revealed that Team Spirit declined an invitation to IEM Rio 2024. The club's brand director explained that the management decided to turn down the invite to avoid overloading the CS2 team members, considering their packed tournament schedule.

As of the first half of 2024, donk has become one of the top three contenders for the title of best player of the year. His main competitors are Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov from G2 Esports and Team Vitality's sniper Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut.
