The 16-year-old has been topping the world leaderboard for a while already, his current ELO standing at 5,403, almost 350 points over the second place on the board. But the real scope of the achievement kicked in this Sunday, as FACEIT announced Tügel has won the entire Season 6 of FACEIT Matchmaking. With a total of 3,782 matches played, he becomes the first player to win an entire season beside Russian professional player donk, who has stood as the champion in the previous five seasons.
MaiL09 received a tremendous amount of support on X as he commentated on FACEIT’s official announcement: “The grind paid off”. Several news outlets have reported on the feat that puts Sweden back on the map of Counter-Strike. The next Swedish player on the leaderboard is former Metizport player Adam “adamb” Ångström, currently on place 62.
We are proud to be the home of Liam, who continues to impress the Counter-Strike scene with his unstoppable ambition to reach the top.
