HLTV.org recently challenged professional esports players to construct their ideal national CS2 teams for a hypothetical world championship. The responses were showcased in a video published on YouTube.
Three prominent Russian players participated in this feature: Boris `magixx` Vorobyev, Timur `FL4MUS` Maryev, and Evgeny `FL1T` Lebedev. While all three universally selected Danila `donk` Kryshkovets for their roster, their choices for the remaining spots diverged. FL1T and FL4MUS mutually nominated each other as worthy candidates for the national squad and also included Ilya `m0NESY` Osipov, Denis `electroNic` Sharipov, and Petr `fame` Bolyshev in their selections. Magixx presented a more unconventional lineup, suggesting he would play alongside donk and Maxim `kyousuke` Lukin, complemented by two clones of donk and kyousuke.
