Analyst Duncan “Thorin” Shields wrote on X that some Counter-Strike 2 players are completely wrong to compare donk with other young, promising players, Cybersport.ru reported on Nov. 8.

According to the outlet, Thorin wrote that donk has led some very good and smart pro players to make absolutely foolish and poorly thought-out statements about players they know. In those statements, the players claimed that these others have the same talent as donk or are headed for the same career path.

The earlier Senzu remark

Cybersport.ru recalled that BCGame AWPer s1mple had earlier said his teammate Senzu could become the next donk or even surpass him.

Why it matters

Thorin's post argues against comparing donk with other young players, including claims that they share his talent or will follow his career path.
