His dad didn’t want him to play games – The story of EliGe

This is the story of how Jonathan “EliGe” Jablonowski went from a Starcraft master to a CS:GO champion.

2021-01-06 | @anespleygg

Team Liquid’s CS:GO roster enjoyed their own era in 2019, and throughout it, EliGe has been the constant.

He started out in esports in Startcraft, a world away from Counter-Strike and was even naming himself after his favorite Starcraft pro.

But when a last-minute update to the game derailed his practice for a tournament, he dove right into CS and never looked back.

This is the story of EliGe.

Is EliGe the best player in NA? Enjoy his highlights from 2020 right here.
