Updated CS2 statistics have revealed another unusual aspect of professional play — Bait Kills per Round. Based on matches played at major tournaments in 2026, kyousuke recorded the highest figure, with donk directly behind him.
kyousuke topped the ranking
kyousuke takes first place with 0.15 bait kills per round. This means that, according to the new statistical category, the Falcons player recorded frags in situations classified by the system as bait kills more frequently than any other player in the sample.
The gap over his closest competitor is small. donk has a figure of 0.14 and occupies second place, meaning the two Russian riflers have effectively formed a separate leading group in this ranking.
donk is close behind
donk’s position so high in the ranking is interesting because of his extremely aggressive playstyle. The Spirit player is usually associated with constantly seeking opening duels and maintaining a high tempo, but the new metric reveals another side of his statistical profile.
At the same time, this figure should not be interpreted as direct evidence that the player constantly “baits” his teammates in the traditional sense of the word. It is a separate statistical category that tracks a specific type of frag and does not describe the player’s entire role within the team system.
Who else made the top five
Third place is shared by demon, ryu, and d1Ledez. Each of them has 0.13 bait kills per round, meaning the difference between second and fifth place remains minimal.
Thus, the top five in this metric consists of kyousuke with 0.15, donk with 0.14, and demon, ryu, and d1Ledez with 0.13. Even a difference of one-hundredth of a frag per round can significantly affect a player’s position in this ranking.
What the new statistics reveal
New advanced metrics allow professional matches to be analyzed in much greater detail than through traditional K-D, ADR, or rating statistics. Bait Kills per Round adds another layer to understanding exactly how players secure their frags and the team situations in which they occur.
It is particularly interesting that kyousuke and donk occupy the top two positions — two players who are often viewed primarily as the main sources of firepower for their teams. Now another unusual category has been added to their statistical profiles, one in which they also outperform most of the professional scene.
A new perspective on player styles
Such statistics can hardly determine a player’s style or value on their own, but they provide useful additional context. The same high Bait Kills per Round figure can emerge under different tactical circumstances depending on the player’s role, positions, and team structure.
Therefore, the main conclusion here is purely statistical: among players at major tournaments in 2026, kyousuke currently has the highest number of bait kills per round, with donk close behind. This duo leads one of the most interesting new rankings of the season.
