5 Game-Changing eSports Players of the Year

The esports world has gone mainstream, and here are some of the countries that have transformed video games into a billion dollar industry.

And not only playing games now, but skills & strategy also like to know even who has the never die attitude of being king in this esports era.

Now, with that all set up, how about we go through a few of them that are happening right now in 2024 game changers.

1. S1mple – The CS King

When you think of CS, you think S1mple. The Ukranian Counter-Strike legend is still going strong with 21 HLTV MVP medals to his name.

This man is like that friend of yours that plays hours on end just to be the player going top 5, but when S1mple turns up for a game it’s every round.

The level of skill he was able to bring out during a quarter of the century will never be matched by anyone, showing just how top-tier an esports player could truly become.

Despite this, he assures no plans to slow its role — return in a year and see if that was true of his word.

The dream that S1mple represents, his commitment to this fucking game alone is unreal.

Playing CS for up to 8 hours a day, his sheer work ethic is the reason he has stayed at such an elite level.

If there even were an esports Olympics, he would win gold silver and bronze just for fun.

2. Faker – The League Legend

Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, a name that the community has often referred to as Michael Jordan of esports. He changed League of Legends like what MJ did to basketball despite being an esports player for over a decade;

Faker is one of the best in India and across borders. This is just the beginning as he wins 4 World Championships.

With Faker’s plethora of champions he can play and his innate ability to read the game better than most, you would be hard pressed for find anyone else as formidable.

Even more incredibly is that Faker style wins consistently. It is like watching a friend hit the same great shot over and over, whilst you are shooting yourself reloading.

3. Ruler – The ADC Master

He is a game-changer in every sense of the term REATEST STRENGTH: This may seem like faint praise, but given this sea…

Ruler has won multiple World Championships as well as LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea) titles from his insane positioning and game sense.

He may be playing in Faker’s shadow, by Ruler won’t back down.

He is like that younger sibling who tries to be better than the older one…and usually is. No matter if it is on the farm or in teamfights, Ruler takes his stamp out onto the rift every single game.

4. Mortal – India’s Own Legend

An inevitable name you will be hearing when it comes to PUBG Mobile in the Indian esports scene is Naman “Mortal” Mathur.

A Champion Esports player himself, who has been instrumental in popularising gaming as a career option, and its impact shows, making Mortal not just a player of the game but he actually breathes it.

They may not be as recognized around the world as Faker or S1mple but they are legends in India.

Mortal winning every other tournament and leading by example has made countless people to chase their dreams. His down-to-earth nature also makes him a favorite with the fans.

5. NiKo – The Headshot Machine

Nikola “NiKo” Kovač is widely heralded in Counter-Strike as a player with the aim of an automated laser machine… When it comes to sheer skill and precision, there is an argument to be made for NiKo (and the following five players on this list).

He is known to be a very good rifler and unusually has super quick reaction times which have branched his popularity throughout the gaming world.

But NiKo is more than just a headshotter: he is also one of the most game-intelligent, team-centric players in CS. It clear that he’s playing 3D chess while everyone else is still on checkers.

Conclusion

Looks like 2024 is going to be another great year for esports! From S1mple’s dominance in CS

From Fatal1ty to Faker’s time atop the League esport throne, these are not only players who have changed how they play on gameday but revolutionized perceptions of what playing at this level truly means.

There is no doubt whether it be a Mortal from India or NiKo the sharpshooter itself, these players are here to stay.

As a result if you think that is your father strolling from the garage with an angeled trim brush in his fingers to choose yours, alongside exertions and persistence is going to be needed, anything can also assistance completely. Perhaps a bit of headshotting on the side. Game on!
