Slaven "AwaykeN" Lyubenov has set a new record for the most kills over a single map played on LAN in Counter-Strike 2, scoring 62 in a group-stage defeat that ran to six overtimes.
The 23-year-old Bulgarian posted the figure for INFURITY in a 29-31 loss to Inner Circle Academy in the group stage of Urban Riga Open Season 7, which is taking place in Riga, Latvia. HLTV reported that the performance was not enough to carry his side through the map.
The mark AwaykeN broke had stood for almost exactly a year and was held jointly by Alexander "Altekz" Givskov and Nils "k1to" Gruhne, who each scored 60 kills in an AM versus Nexus match at Digital Crusade DraculaN Season 2.
The CS2 LAN top five
- AwaykeN vs. Inner Circle Academy - 62 kills
- Altekz vs. Nexus - 60 kills
- k1to vs. Nexus - 60 kills
- reck vs. fnatic - 58 kills
- slaxz- vs. fnatic - 58 kills
Counted across every CS2 map rather than LAN play alone, AwaykeN's 62 kills rank joint-third. Adrian "xelex" Vincze holds that overall record with 67 kills against K27, and Dmitry "sstiNiX" Khlebnikov is second on 63 against ARCRED.
A separate 67-kill performance by tried was discarded from the overall list because it came in a showmatch.
AwaykeN shares third place on that overall list with mopoz, who scored 62 against Endpoint, and pain, who scored 62 against Underground.
