CS Major Championship Ace Record Broken at Shanghai Major

In case you've missed it and didn't see FaZe Clan's dreams get crushed after their incredible Playoffs Stage run, Team Spirit won the Perfect World Shanghai Major.

To score an HLTV rating of 1.49 throughout a Major is incredibly impressive, but those are not the only records Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets broke. 

In what can only be described as one of the highest-impact performances in history, the young rifler broke the record for the most Aces at a Major Championship, from the DreamHack Winter 2013 to the Shanghai Major 2024.

For those who don't know, an Ace is when one player scores the kills on all five players in a single round of CS2. Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev held the previous record for nearly six years, scoring in his performance for NAVI at IEM Katowice Major 2019.

You can watch all four glorious Aces thanks to a video from HLTV below, including a monster 5v1 against HEROIC.

Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets has also tied with the GOAT, Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyljev, for the most Aces in a top-tier event. Insane!
