Team Spirit player Danil ‘donk‘ Kryshkovets has the world’s highest K/D ratio on Counter-Strike matchmaking platform FACEIT.

Currently ranked 12th on the platform’s global leaderboards, the Russian star tops the FACEIT Season 7 leaderboard with a 1.65 K/D ratio.

As revealed on February 23rd, donk is ahead of several professional players who regularly compete on the popular platform. In second place is MIBR player Felipe ‘insani‘ Yuji with a K/D ratio of 1.63, followed by his teammate Klimentii ‘kl1m‘ Krivosheev in third place at K/D ratio of 1.62.

donk is no stranger to topping the charts on FACEIT. In July 2025, he finished first for a fifth consecutive season, scoring the highest ELO rating in the world. During Season 5, he beat the likes of Maksim ‘kyousuke‘ Lukin and Ilya ‘m0NESY‘ Osipov to claim the top spot.

Last season saw donk lose his place at the top of the global ladder, as Alliance rifler Liam ‘MaiL09‘ Tügel became FACEIT’s youngest-ever champion at the age of 16. The Swedish player achieved the highest ELO rating in FACEIT history, reaching a peak of 5,415.

FACEIT Season 7 launched in November 2025 with a wealth of changes designed to improve the competitive experience for players of all skill levels. Alongside a soft ELO reset, the platform introduced several anti-cheat improvements for greater protection against hackers and accounts performing suspicious activities.

Team Spirit’s Attention Turns to ESL Pro League

When donk isn’t topping the FACEIT leaderboards, he’s competing in high-profile tournaments as part of the Team Spirit roster, currently ranked sixth in the Valve Regional Standings (VRS). The team’s next Tier 1 will be at the online stage of ESL Pro League Season 23.

Team Spirit is one of several notable names competing in the long-standing Counter-Strike event taking place from February 27th to March 15th. With defending champions Team Vitality choosing not to attend, the tournament is an opportunity for Team Spirit to win its first title of the year.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
