Jonathan Jablonowski

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.

Personal 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. Moreover, he has enjoyed video games since the time he was four. During that period, his brother played games quite often.
