donk bags 10th tournament MVP

BLAST Bounty Season 2 recently concluded with Spirit taking down The MongolZ in the grand-final to lift their fourth S-tier trophy in 2025. As on par with Spirit's earlier tournament wins, donk was awarded the tournament MVP at BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals for being the highest rated player at the event. donk wasn't at his best in the online stage but the 18-year-old stepped up on LAN, wreaking havoc right from the quarter-final to take Spirit across the line.

With his MVP at BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals, donk enters an elite club becoming only the sixth player in the world to bag ten or more HLTV MVPs. The stellar Russian rifler tops the MVP count when it comes to riflers, tying with GeT_RiGhT at 10 MVPs. NiKo still leads when only looked at big events with 8 big event MVPs compared to donk's 7.

donk blazes to his 10th MVP in an impressive 661 days since attending his first HLTV MVP eligible event. The stat garners massive significance when given that some of Counter-Strike's greats like device, s1mple and kennyS took more than 1800 days to achieve this feat while ZywOo comes close to donk at 649 days. However donk still sits at second place, trailing the Swedish superstar GeT_RiGhT who bagged 10 MVPs within 576 days of attending his first event that offered an HLTV MVP.

In the all time MVP count, donk enters the top five at #5, trailing GeT_RiGhT, device, s1mple and ZywOo. ZywOo overtook s1mple's record of 21 MVPs earlier this year and the Frenchman sits at 27 MVPs with seven MVPs in 2025 alone.
