The well-known portal HLTV has published its ranking of young players who are considered the most promising in the world and are definitely worth keeping an eye on. This ranking comes out every month and, of course, it doesn’t overlook Ukrainian players.
This month, three Ukrainians made the list:
Dmytro “dem0n” Myroshnychenko — ranked second in the HLTV Prospects list. He’s currently playing for FUT Esports, formerly a NAVI Junior prospect, and overall a very strong aimer. His Rating 3.0 sits at 1.13 over the past three months — and that’s considering the fact his team regularly competes at S-tier events. He’s only 18 years old.
David “Dawy” Bibik — dropped to fifth place in the ranking (he was second last month). He’s currently part of Inner Circle’s active roster alongside other Ukrainians. His Rating 3.0 over the past three months is 1.07. Even though the team mostly competes in online events, the player himself remains a strong and appealing prospect on the CS2 market.
Denys “Burmylov” Buraha — dropped to 31st place in HLTV’s ranking. He’s a former player of MOUZ NXT, Lazer Cats, and FNATIC, and is currently part of kONO.ECF’s active roster. He first appeared in the HLTV Prospects list in January, debuting at 19th place. The Ukrainian is also only 18 years old, and his Rating 3.0 over the past three months sits at 1.11.
The only Ukrainian player who didn’t make it into the February HLTV Prospects list was Nikita “cmtry” Samolotov, who, according to HLTV, finished in 51st place. Despite the success of FUT Esports — the team the young player represents — his individual stats weren’t enough to break into the top 50.
As a reminder, Vitality won IEM Krakow 2026.
