donk has a chance to become the youngest million-dollar prize winner in CS history—provided his team can lift the championship trophy at EWC 2026.
Currently, this record is held by NAVI's b1t, largely thanks to his breakout in 2021 — that year he and NAVI won the PGL Stockholm Major and ESL Grand Slam Season 3. However, despite such a stellar 2021, b1t didn't officially break the $1 million mark until after the IEM Rio Major in 2022.
b1t surpassed $1 million in prize earnings at the age of 19 years and 10 months, while donk would break this record at 19 years and 6 months — four months younger than b1t — if he wins the EWC in Paris.
Currently, donk is about $83,000 away from the million-dollar milestone, while the EWC championship prize is $120,000 per player. Even if he finishes as runner-up, his prize money would only be $68,000, still not enough to cross the million-dollar threshold.
However, even if he fails to complete the task this time, donk still has time to surpass b1t, with more than three months to go before he turns 20 and several more tournaments to compete in during that period.
