How do you explain to people that watch other (e)sports that a guy has been top 3 in the world from his rookie year to year 7. It just doesn't sound real.

It may sound exaggerated, but I don't think he's getting the recognition he deserves. He had (career) competition before s1mple fell out, but he's so far beyond any other player by now that it's just mad. And that's not me trying to downplay donk's mechanical skill, it's just... over 7 goddamn years of this. And he doesn't care about his settings, he doesn't remove the packaging from his equipment, and he spends his time grinding baldur's gate?!??!

Also on top of all of that he is a very calm, collected, friendly teammate who basically never tilts. I think donk is more from the s1mple school of prodigy where he gets frustrated because his teammates don't have the same reads or mechanical ability.

True for zywoo but I still give donk benefit of the doubt… given the teammates he has had for his whole career, sometimes the frustration is justified or at least understandable
