EE is pretty serious about gaming. Alongside the EE Game Store and their high performing Full Fibre Broadband crafted exclusively for gamers, theyre also official partners of competitive esports team, GIANTX. It makes sense after all; you need reliable, high-speed broadband to be at the top of your game. Speaking of which, we spoke to players Jackies and Purp0 from GIANTX about who they consider to be the greatest esports players of all time. In no particular order, here are their top 5S1mpleS1mple - AKA Oleksandr Kostyliev - began playing Counter Strike at four years old. Just let that sink in for a moment The Ukrainian professional now plays for esports organisation, Natus Vincere, and is regarded as one of the best players in Counter Strike history. Jackies said, S1mple is probably the best CS:GO (Counter Strike: Global Offensive) Ive ever known, praising his dedication and long term career dominance. S1mple has won a record 21 HLTV MVP medals, so the staggering amount of practice and commitment hes put into the sport since he was a young teen has certainly paid off. He attributes his success to a training regime consisting of 8 hour long CS:GO sessions with his teammates, strategy meetings on video calls, and even a nutrition programme.FakerGIANTXs Jackies describes Korean esports pro Lee Sang-hyeok, better known as Faker, as the Ronaldo of League of Legends, and its not hard to see why. During his career, hes earned a record of 10 League of Legends Champions Korea titles, and a record four World Championship wins, causing him to be regarded as LoLs greatest player of all time, even drawing comparison to Michael Jordan in terms of prolific sporting success. What makes Faker so formidable is his versatility (he is skilled in a wide pool of playable champions), his well-honed technical skill, and his deep understanding of LoLs mechanics. He also credits a MOBA he put a lot of time into called Chaos as affording him an easier transition into League. Faker also emphasizes the power of cooperative play, viewing his teammates as his second family, which is likely a contributing factor to their strong performance in tournaments. RulerNot only has South Korean player Park Ruler Jae-hyuk won a myriad of titles - including two League of Legends Pro League titles, and one World Championship title - hes also, according to Jackies from GIANTX, the only guy to consistently challenge Faker in his title reigns. He also became the second player ever to win Worlds, Mid-Season Invitational, League of Legends Champions Korea and League of Legends Pro League. Many fans consider Ruler to be the greatest example of an ADC - thats Attack-Damage Carry, a League of Legends role who typically deals physical based damage to all on the enemy team. Though he hasnt surpassed Faker just yet, hes one to keep an eye on for sureNiKoPurp0 from GIANTX placed Nikola Kova AKA NiKo among his top five esports players of all time, citing that players like him are mechanically insane and super talented. Regarded as one of the most technically skilled players in Counter-Strike, and the best rifler in the history of CS:GO, NiKo has also been in contention for the title of the best player in the world numerous times throughout his career.Like S1mple, he played Counter Strike from a young age, as his parents owned an internet cafe in his home country of Bosnia, alongside his cousin, fellow esports player huNter. His long-running experience with the game, coupled with lightning-fast reactions make him an exceptionally strong player in the CS:Go scene. ChovyFinally we have Korean pro Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon, who became the first professional League of Legends player to achieve an overall KDA (a ratio calculated by dividing total kills and assists by the amount of deaths) of 100. Known for his ability to amass huge minion advantages in lane (the main paths that minions follow towards the enemy in LoL), Chovy handles pressure remarkably well, and multitasks in such an impressive way during each match, spinning so many plates so precisely that its questionable as to whether hes even human. As GIANTXs Jackies puts it: Chovy is probably the best player in the world right now. Enough said. And there you have it. Dream of making it among the esports legends? According to Purp0 it just takes patience and talent, alongside hard work, sacrifice, and luck.
