Inventory of donk. From Safari Mesh to a $1,000,000 skin
One of the most successful young talents in Counter-Strike history has spent over 15,000 hours in this game. The guy just turned 17 recently (in January 2024), and he already has this many hours played. Thanks to skins, Danil makes his gaming process more diverse and interesting. Let’s take a look at the inventory of the most popular player in recent years.
★ Sport Gloves | Hedge Maze + ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade
Cost: $2,500 + $3,000
In donk’s inventory, there are three pairs of sport gloves, but he mostly uses the green version, which is quite rare. To complement the gloves, he chose one of the most desirable and beloved models among all players – a butterfly knife in the “Fade” color scheme. The combination may not be obvious, but it’s quite successful.
Desert Eagle | Golden Koi + AK-47 | Gold Arabesque
Cost: $100 + $4,000
The player clearly pays close attention to choosing skins and tries to match them by color. The golden Neo stickers from the Krakow Major perfectly complement this AK-47 and almost double its value. Each of these stickers costs around $500, but the end result is worth it. The Desert Eagle stickers also have their own twist, not in the price or combination with the skin, but in a sticker with the autograph of his teammate – magixx, who supports Danil in many English interviews and doesn’t skimp on praise for him. Apparently, donk appreciates such attitude towards himself and decided to express respect to his teammate in this way.
M4A1-S | Blue Phosphor + AWP | Fade
Cost: $700 + $1,000
A few more really cool skins that donk uses in official matches. Again, there’s a logic in choosing these items. However, the AWP Fade here is clearly “for beauty”, as he almost never takes this device in the game. Why bother, with such shooting skills? By the way, the previous young stars he’s often compared to are snipers (s1mple, ZywOo, m0NESY). Undoubtedly, this makes Danil’s path even more unique and special.
For the defensive side, he plays with a silencer-equipped magazine and has already demonstrated a whole series of highlights with this device. His “Blue Phosphor” is adorned with two gold Team Spirit stickers, with which he won his first significant trophy – IEM Katowice 2024.
Stories with Traders
Looking at donk’s inventory, you can notice that his skins are worth quite a bit of money. And if this doesn’t surprise anyone now (since the guy is already a superstar), then just a few months ago, the young player turned to traders to borrow their expensive items. Here are a couple of screenshots where he writes to traders with such requests.
The Thunderpick World Championship and Roobet Cup tournaments were held online and were among the first CS2 tournaments. Of course, traders weren’t interested in such events, and they politely refused him. One such collector responded to donk’s request, but did so 9 months later and only after the entire esports community started talking about him. Each of them now sincerely regrets it, as it could have raised interest in their collection and significantly increased its value.
These stories quickly spread in the community and reached the most famous people in the industry. The owner of the only StatTrack AK-47 | Case Hardened with pattern #661 (Blue Gem) is already waiting for the opportunity to pass his treasure into the hands of the 17-year-old genius. The value of such a specimen is estimated at $1,000,000 and has not been in the hands of any professional player, as it was only obtained in early 2024.
Seeing how donk treats his inventory selection, he shouldn’t pass up such an opportunity. Of course, all thoughts are now focused on qualifying for the first CS2 Major and getting his own sticker. There’s no doubt that his autograph will be very expensive on the Steam marketplace, so we wish Team Spirit to qualify for PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. The community is already gearing up for the hunt for the autograph and fantasizing about the concept of the coveted sticker.
The total value of donk’s inventory as of February 2024: $39,742.82.
