16-year-old Swede MaiL09 sets new ELO record on FACEIT in CS2

16-year-old Swedish talent Liam “MaiL09” Tügel has set a new all-time ELO record on FACEIT in Counter-Strike 2. His incredible 5415 ELO mark is the highest ever achieved in CS2 history, making MaiL09 not only the global leader but also the youngest player to ever top the FACEIT rankings.

On the professional scene, Tügel represents Metizport, where he helped the team secure 5–8th place at Ex0rt The Proving Grounds Season 2, earning $2,900 in prize money.

Before joining Metizport, MaiL09 played for Johnny Speeds, where he collected several impressive achievements:

• Subway Suberior League Season 3 — 1st place
• European Pro League Season 25: Division 2 — 1st place
• Svenska Elitserien Spring 2025 — 1st place
• Fragster Challenger Series — 2nd place

With his age, skill, and rapid development, MaiL09 could very well become one of the next global stars in CS2.
