EliGE
American professional Counter-Strike player
Jonathan Jablonowski, better known as EliGE is an American professional Counter-Strike 2 player. Currently playing for Team Liquid, he is considered to be the greatest American Counter-Strike player of all time. On 7 July 2019, Jablonowski and his teammates on Liquid won an Intel Grand Slam in a record 63 days, and he was ranked the No. 4 player in the world by HLTV that year.
01Personal life
Jonathan was born in Carbondale, Pennsylvania in 1997 to Loretta Jablonowski. He has an older brother and sister and a twin sister. He is of Polish descent. He has enjoyed video games since the time he was four. During that period, his brother played games quite often. So, EliGE wanted to play the same games as his older brother and become better than him. He claims that this rivalry at a young age made him as competitive as he is today.
Jablonoski was the valedictorian at his High School and was named a scholar of the year.
