[Question: “Did you play FACEIT while on vacation?”] No. I didn’t have a computer right away. The statistics there are kind of strange. I played when I had already practiced, and this was no longer a vacation. I arrived four days before the end of my vacation and played a lot on the computer, but didn’t really grind FACEIT. I don't play much on FACEIT. I have 130 games there in three months, which is not very much, but even small. I just played because I missed the computer, but I didn’t grind. I don't think we're in the best position to play much on FACEIT right now. This leads to burnout and fatigue. We will have three tournaments in a row - BLAST Bounty Summer 2026, EWC 2026 and BLAST Open. Therefore, it is better not to play around and keep yourself in a hungry state.

Earlier it became known that donk reached 5,386 Elo on FACEIT. This is close to the world record - in 2025, eSports player Liam MaiL09 Tygel upped 5,415 Elo. You can read more about this in the material.
