On December 16th 2024, fans looked back as history was made on the final day of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. Despite small hiccups throughout the tournament, everything came back full circle. Similar to how they won their first title this year at IEM Katowice, defeating FaZe, they just won their fourth title by beating FaZe 2-1. The only difference was that instead of Dmitry "⁠sh1ro⁠" Sokolov backing up Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets, it was Boris "⁠magixx⁠" Vorobiev.

The occasion was particularly special for donk, as he became the youngest ever Major and MVP holder at the same time. One could say that his deagle clutch during the eco round on map 3 destroyed FaZe’s momentum despite winning pistol, allowing his team to sweep up the rest. The Russian super star spoke to HLTV about the accomplishment after the match.


 

What did donk say?

When asked about what it feels like to be the youngest-ever MVP, donk said: “It feels incredible. It doesn't matter that I'm the youngest and so on, it has no meaning at all. The fact that our team won the Major is a crazy result, it's crazy good. We will remain in the history of not just CS2, but of all Counter-Strike. And I can't describe my emotions and feelings now, but I'm very glad for the guys since they have been going for this for so long compared to me or Myroslav [zont1x], I'm incredibly happy for them.”

When asked about how magixx backed him up, he said: “Speaking of Boris [magixx], he played incredibly well in the entire playoffs. I'm very happy for him and to see such a performance from him, because I know what this man is capable of. We play with him a lot, and I understand his stronger sides. Finally, he started showing them, and he showed what he was capable of.”


 

When asked about how he finished the year off the way he started, donk said: “I absolutely did not care that we played against FaZe at the start of the year. What was in Katowice stays in Katowice, it was the start of the year, and a lot of time had passed; it makes no difference. I cared more about us playing against them in the quarter-final of the Major and losing that time. And I wanted to take revenge for that Major.”
