Also I think Shaiiko should be on this list, I think he is the only esports player that got a 2 year ban for being too good. When he came back in 2019 he and his team won the Grand finals
Everytime a Dota or LOL clip comes up, I spend 10 seconds finding where is the player we are talking about, then never understanding what is going on...
Face of dota2, in dota1 I'm pretty sure IG was the best. Navi is nothing compared to them until dota2 came out they became champ then followed by IG,asians are underrated
@@Ratonvaquero27 That was a map win streak. Zero won 56 TOURNAMENTS in a row. Even now, NIP only have a total of 31 tournament wins, and another all time great team, Astralis, has only 29. Zero ended his smash 4 career with 110 tournament wins, with over 60 of those being major tournaments. Zero almost won as many tournaments in a row as both astralis and NIP have won in their entire career combined.
Big mistake to leave him out. I still use his Quake config bindings today in similar games. They guy was undefeated. Never lost a match. Even claims he never lost a training match even. And I'm inclined to believe him. Thresh and Fatal1ty should be in here for sure.
@@0grob0 Fatal1ty deserves this list for sure. Dude was the first gamer to make a living off competitive gaming. Was watching his stream today. Absolute legend that guy.
@@chorby7002 so he was #1ranked player in the world in 2015 by being a shit player? Astralis is the best team of all time (not personal opinion, mouz fan here), but device was not number one in 2018 for a reason. Olof stood above players, especially because he was a flexible player, able to play every role in competetive cs, and exceed in it. Name another player like that, especially in 2015.
I wasn’t sure how you’d approach this list but my only thought coming into it was “well at least Flash and Faker both have to be near the top”. I guess I was on to something at least
As someone who doesn't have much StarCraft knowledge my thought coming into it was "probably Faker on one, but if it's not, I bet it's that legendary StarCraft player" (and yes, I did not remember his name).
@@frozengrip2609 It's not a very fun game to watch if you're not a player yourself, which is why it's one of the less popular esports games. Something like Rocket League is fun to watch even if you have no clue about the game, but enjoying StarCraft matches requires you to have decent knowledge about the game. SC1 was insanely popular in Korea but LoL and Overwatch took its place, and SC2 didn't fail, but never reached the heights of the first. It makes sense they'd be frequently overlooked by people.
@@jaykim6434 What you say is true. But the thing is that they will still very important at laying the foundation of Esports in Korea and Europe. Even if they are basically dead in the water now they shouldn't be forgotten so easily.
@@frozengrip2609 Of course. I would never forget StarCraft. It's basically what shaped esports to be what it is today. I'm Korean and I assure you the stereotype was true back then. Literally 9 in 10 people knew StarCraft, even the non-gamers. My mum even knows Lim Yo Hwan, since he's such a phenomenal figure in South Korea.
@@kyrhainonglong3186 what other games do you play? To make it more relatable. The impressive thing about the outplay is faker dodging 3 killing blows from ryu while ryu did a misplay of his own which wouldn't have let the outplay happen at all.
Kinda controversial to call Armada the goat at this point in time. Hbox is debatable for that spot as his reign has been going on for years and does not seem to stop anytime soon. I love Armada tho and am happy Melee got some representation!
I feel like zero deserved to be on this list. He had a period of dominance where he was untouchable, won 52 smash tournaments in a row and even after his fall of grace, went back on the grind to become the best in the world once again.
Yeah tho armada deserves it more he was top 2 for 8 years four as 1st also had 6 s major win streak the most ever and didn't drop a set for over. a year oh yeah and has an all time winning record on EVERYONE
@@davis1228 it's not even bias, these guys have built an empire of their names. You could go to any smash board, ask for good "smash" players to watch and they will mention Armada and the gods before Zero, because that's how influential they are to the community. Sonicfox, altho a god in every game he plays, isn't liked that much by the community. It's not hard to understand the point of the video
Really glad you put Flash as number one - here's some other not well-known facts about the king: - He was an innovator beyond his time - he actually contacted olofmeister midway through the game with LDLC with instructions on how to utilize and win with the controversial "olofboost" - when Armada broke Mang0's shield, he was about to do a regular punish before Flash secretly contacted him to, and Flash calculated all possibilities and moments to know it would happen with 100% accuracy, pull another turnip since he knew it would be a stitch face and Armada could style on him with that - Flash was a fluent Tagalog speaker and coined the phrase "Lakad matatag" which he told the commentators about the day before the match. The commentators also attribute the "echo slamma jamma" to Flash as well. - Flash, during the match between Faker and Ryu, took control of Faker's Zed the moment Ryu started his ult on him - it would have been cleaner of a kill if Flash wasn't playing remotely on 25 ping and explains the turret shots and auto attacks Ryu got on him before the ult. - Flash granted Zero his ridiculous 56 straight tournament wins because of coaching and advice from Flash - he only lost his 57th because he forgot to pray towards Flash's location before MLG 2014. - Flash whispered into Simple's headset "throw the AWP" before the crucial moment on Dust. - Flash is responsible for directing and scoring the peach montage scene from the critically acclaimed South Korean movie , "Parasite".
Zero is leagues above flash. Zero is the most dominant eSports player ever. Objectively. Like Michael Jordan, the competition couldn't win until he retired. He is the Michael Jordan of eSports.
Zero???? LMAO starcraft is 100000000% harder than a fighting game and the organizers for the biggest tournament which is asl, had to stop flash by forbidding all terran maps. That because they were scared he was going to get his 4th ASL title in a row that never happened in any e sport scene before organizers stepping in to stop an specific player from winning all again. Zero is just good at his game. Flash has been dominating the starcraft scene since forever. Everyone in korea call him god.
Great list, anyone who knows starcraft brood war will agree that Flash is number one. The dominance he has showed for years and years in that game is just unbelievable, especially considering how insanely hard the game and it's competition is.
You're comparing being the best player at smash 4 to being the best player at a game that requires more technical skill and has a more established legacy and scene like Melee, CS:GO and Starcraft. Zero is an amazing player but his legacy can't touch anyone on this list.
@@konakami7066 I have had this discussion a lot of times before. Just because a game requires different set of skills does not make it less Skilled to play. This artificial skill narrative that people seem to have is really infuriating because that is the reason people Dismiss Smash bros in general when comparing it to normal fighting games. Just because a game may be not that hard to perform does not make it less Competitive it just means the focus of gameplay is switched into other areas. I mean the greatest game of all time does not even require Physical Skill at all (Chess)
A couple reason why Flash is the Greatest : Flash is the most successful player in the history of progaming in terms of qualification. Flash earned the award for "Most Wins in Proleague" four times Flash has the highest Elo rating record of all time. He broke the Elo record six consecutive and Flash is the only player to have an Elo peak in the 2400s. Flash is the first player in history to reach both individual league finals 3 times in a row. The Flash received a golden ruler after winning his third ASL championship, aswell as a golden trophy for winning three consecutive ASL championships. Flash is the first player in the history of Brood War to win 4 seasons of the same Premier tournament, winning his fourth ASL championship in Season 8. All of these ridiculous records and titles are cool and all, but what strikes me is how strong he actually is. There is no player so universally respected and feared. Most interviews with other top players devolve into them saying they probably can't beat him. He has consistently changed the meta by himself. His off races are both pro-level. His nickname is God for a reason
Justin Wong didn't lose a single MvC2 tournament for three straight years and won the world championship title 7 of the 10 times it was at EVO, placing 2nd, 2nd, and 4th in the other three. He has also made top 8 in different games at evo 30 times.
Flash the god hand. Jaedong the legend killer. Bisu the revolutionist. Stork the Bang. Man what a time to watch pro league when taekbangleessang is a thing.
I really wish they had included BoxeR in this list... BoxeR was the first truly great Starcraft player, and a huge part of the reason why Starcraft and esports in general became so big in Korea. Everyone, from your taxi driver to your corporate CEO knew who he was.
Ogre 2 built and dominated console esports. I know people try to forget about console esports because COD, but its hard to deny the impact Ogre 2 made to esports as a whole and just how dominant he was during the first 3 Halos.
@@millsmillsmills203 not to mention never losing a 2v2v with Ogre1, not to mention Final Boss almost won 2 National Championships in H3 and ShadowRun at the same event, they took 1st in Halo and 2nd in Shadow Run.
@@iTzMeDuSa They didn't lose 1 match over 2 MLG events. They lost 1 GAME over two MLG events. They won every single match they played in. Their game record over those two events was 42-1. Ogre 2 is definitely a top 10 esports player of all time. This channel overlooks certain video games, but it's hard to argue with Ogre 2's resume.
@@carteljameson8395 my man thats what i meant hahaha. game/match same thing. Series is the word you are thinking of but yes only lost one game over two events. will never be done again. Hes the GOAT.
Honestly yeah, Fatal1ty was one of the greatest of all time and I'm sad they didn't include him. This channel doesnt care for many FPS outside of CS and the occasional overwatch though.
Was so worried Flash wasn't going to get any love. The only true decision for #1 given his absolute transcendence of an entire esport for literally a decade plus.
I feel like ZeRo should be on this list because he is the only player with a 56 WIN STREAK! And he was the king of smash 4 from the begining of the game all the way to then end
You didn't tell the story why Daigo is called the Beast. It's because he used to play without showing any emotions at all, even at the hypest moments. Its almost demonic like, as in the "Beast" itself
Flash absolutely deserves the #1. Starcraft was the original progenitor of esports. And Flash's dominance over such a long period of time and the magnitude of how much better he was than everyone else cannot be understated. Of all the "gods" in esports, Flash truly lives up to the name, and then some.
Duck King no it wasnt, starcraft in korea was huge korean air and national telecom companies sponsored these guys. Team houses were formed, massive crowds and that all in the early 2000’s
Boxxer deserved to be up there. Cant go Flash without going the full Flash/JD/Bisu/Stork. Boxxer was where esports truly began. He is beyond legendary.
No KNEE?! No SONIXFOX?! Sonixfox dominated multiple fighting game and has multiple evo titles. And I can’t stand how no one mentions KNEE at esports greatest. The guy has been dominating tekken for over 2 decades. A game that some see as the hardest fighting game to get into. And unlike the legends in this list, knee is old but isn’t holding just his own against the best.. he literally is still one of the if not the best tekken player.
I KNOW RIGHT?! Incredibly disappointed that Knee didn't make the list. God damn 3 CS players, but no time for a guy that has actually dominated his game... Heck, Uzi doesn't really belong on a top 10 list either.
The issue is that sonicfox dominates games that don't even come close to pulling the competitive popularity of the other games on the list, if the list was "greatest players ever to dominate games that aren't in the list of the most popular in their genre" sonicfox would be unstoppable as #1 and the same can be said of knee until tekken 7 where he doesn't dominate as hard. The difference here is all the players in the list dominated the most popular game hence drawing in the highest level of competition
dude this is a loaded question Would you put CS1.5-1.6 era players in top 10? Is SF2 players any relevant? Where's Quake players? Do fortnite players deserve this title? too many to pick from, too many eras, too many games...
I'd say Faker should just take the one LoL spot. He created the foundation of how to play mid lane as Dopa said. Uzi is god but he's not on par with player like Neo or Flash
Knee is the god of Tekken for sure and I'll always lean towards Tekken, but this list is so crazy stacked. SonicFox and Tokido didn't get there so It's not surprising. The Beast and Justin are the picks if you gotta chose two FGC players.
All I know is that not talking about one of *the* pioneers of eSports, Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, is a crime. Won 12 World Championship titles in total; Holds championship wins in 5 different games; 3x CPL Champion in Quake III; CPL Champion in Unreal Tournament; Participated in a tournament against the Top 12 Quake players in the world, going undefeated in 18 games; Won 64 of the 72 professional eSports championships he ever participated in; The first ever player to win the Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to eSports; Founded his own brand of eSports gear. Want to talk about living eSports legends? Fatal1ty is definitely one.
@@mariohoyer1084 Same. I really want to see Quake make a return now that the Doom reboots were so well received. This video also desperately needs a part 2.
Firstly, fatality's games against tox were in quake 4, not quake 3 (toxic won btw). Honestly I'd put players like Flash from SC or Rapha/Cypher from Quake far above fatality. Anyone that has looked into it knows that many of his "WC" titles were either him racing a game on launch with a tiny pool of competitors, or winning so called "world" titles that had almost none of the best players at the event. There's a reason why most of the "hardcore" fans never liked fatality. All self promotion, branding and delusion to this day. Rapha and cypher dominated quake for far longer against far tougher competition while Flash was also in a bigger scene, being more recent and in SC... Ultimately, he was never the best painkiller player (vo0 was always better and lost like 1 event to fatality). He was nowhere near top at UT, though he did place 3rd at one respectable event (eswc 2003 or something). Was possibly the best quake 3 player for 1 year (first year of launch). Are you going to count wins from games like Alien versus Predator? lol Listing those accolades may sounds impressive, but plenty gamers have much longer lists on their wiki pages.
@Seno rac i'd wager puppey/kuroky should share a spot on this list or something close, although n0tail did win back2back ti's. i dont feel his pedigree is higher than theirs. when it comes to impact on the scene, and how long they have been around. just silly to have n0tail over them.
@@XJumpManReturnsX 4 Valve Majors, 2 TIs and founding one of the 1st successful player-owned orgs--Notail has achieved more than Puppey and Kuro in a shorter period of time in Dota 2. Not to mention his HoN stuff as well. Dude is also the most mechanically gifted amongst the 3 too which is quite a feat since Puppey and Kuro are no slouches.
@@rbenusa lol acheived more? no not even puppey and kuro has been involved and top teams since since ti1. do not foolishly doubt longevity. since not many in the dota scene has it. im not calling n0tail not a top dota player. but am i ranking him over BurNing and Iceiceice and so on? no, major wins or not. we cant forget about the path pavers & meta shapers.
@@XJumpManReturnsX lol meta shapers? Rat Dota was originally conceived by Notail's fnatic but is attributed to Alliance because they perfected it. Illusion meta got gimped by patches because of OG during the Boston Major. Then, an even more impressive feat imo, dismantling established "metas" in the past two TIs. Puppey and Kuro have only had a head start in Dota 2 by 2-3 years. They played dota 1 b4 that but if you're going to include that, then might as well include Notail's Hon days, which he dominated as well. Facts point to Notail having a much more stellar career so far, and in a relatively shorter amount of time than the 2. No biased attempt of yours to disprove it can ever contradict the facts: 2 TIs back to back, 4 Valve majors while playing 4 of the 5 positions available. Yes, Notail has had a better run so far.
@@mattia_muggerihow ? League is not eveb close to a game like starcraft Riot cant make complex enough games like rts thats why they make casual mass appeal trahs like valorant and league
I know it rare that Halo gets any mention here but when you stress ALL of e-sports and then leave out Ogre 2 from the halo scene you are missing something. The man was apart of not 1 but 2 of the greatest Halo teams of all-time(STK/3D/Final Boss and then instinct). He has by far the most event wins of any halo player and won tournaments across multiple halo titles and dominated the game during its peak(which is what paved the way for most e-sports now). It’s not just 4v4 where he shined either. He was a 2v2 and FFA monster back in the Halo CE and Halo 2 days...
The fact that Ogre 2 isn't on this list is a joke. He was a top player for over 13 years, won 5 championships, won 40 events, has 70 tops, and placed top TWO at 40 events in a row. Name another Esports player that made it to the grand finals in 40 events in a row in ANY game. Bet you can't. Start of the video said you're taking into account kill, influence, and trophy cases. Yeah right, lol. Who did your research? A hamster?
And that 10% skill is what makes him different... No other Cs player would pull that off because they don't practise as he does, he does hours of no scopes alone which are 50% luck.
Fatal1ty is like "who are half these people?" 12 World Championship titles, 1st place finishes in 6 different games, own hardware products, Video game hall of fame, still top 50 earners after he stopped playing 15 friggin years ago. But sure... simple had that nice drop in tho.
100% most accurate comment here. Statistically the most dominant player in ANY SPORT. There was an ESPN article about the most dominant person in sports and it wasn’t even close if you look at the numbers.
Honestly I'd put players like Flash from SC or Rapha/Cypher from Quake far above fatality.

I know RL isn’t as big of a scene as games like CS and LoL and all, but Turbopolsa deserves a mention on this. Dude’s won half of all worlds and like a third of all majors, ever. That’s insane
The list would probably have to be longer because "smaller" games have their legends, but it's hard to rank them comparatively with very popular games. In Age of Empires the player Viper is extremely dominant and in relation to other players, his level of success and dominance is comparable to others on this list. But the AoE2 e-sports scene is just too unknown. This needs to be a top 50 list and include some "smaller" e-sports. For example, Warcraft 3 was rivaling SC in popularity and players like Grubby could have easily been on that list.
I'm shocked he wasn't tbh. Str8 ignorance imo. Titles in 5 different Halo games and shadowrun spanning over 13 years. UZI gets in as the dude that constantly got 2nd and massively underperformed provincially. Not even the greatest ADC of all time, IMP was better, Deft was better, hell Weixio was fucking better. Og2 has a track record that is hard to beat in any esport.
Dylan Muir I agree og2 should be on here above uzi but u know nothing about league if u say he isn’t the #1 adc of all time and the 2nd best player of all time
@@sentsent3929 Bro you're str8 trippin if you think UZI was actually a better ADC than peak IMP or Peek Deft. UZI was massively overrated because of the back to back world finals thing in which his whole team both times just funneled all resources in to him and played comps specifically based around protecting him. I think you could argue to me he is the greatest ADC of all time and I would listen. 2nd best player of all time is str8 up ridiculous, He literally hasn't won anything and only displayed good form for 3-4 seasons. He joined super team OMG and literally made them worse...Also not to mention everyone both in China and that simply played against both RNG and EDG circa worlds 2013 Said Namei was the most skilled ADC in china. UZI is massively overrated. Not to say he wasn't good but he had an extremely brief time at his peak during which multiple other ADCS were arguably better and on top of that he won not nearly enough for someone who would be considered 2nd best of all time, He won 2 domestic titles and an MSI. Again, not bad by any stretch but none of it is 2nd best player of all time material, not skill-wise, not consistancy/length of career wise and not Trophy wise. If he doesn't make it in literally any of those categories by themselves then how can you honestly say he makes it overall. He regularly got smashed in lane by Deft and IMP around his 'rise to the top' and doesn't come close to the silverware they have and all are still playing with Deft easily looking the best of the 3 atm. That's just for ADC. Vs every other player for 2nd best next to Faker he literally doesn't come close. I've followed and played Lol since S1-S2 off season.
@Matt Obra 1 'Outside of the game' factor should not make or break people on this list, that's absurd. Regardless my main point was to argue UZI being the best ADC of all time and the 2nd best player of all time like someone stated is not true.
Zero should have made this list, I mean, the absolute biggest win streak of all of e-sports, his community outreach, his story coming from the ABSOLUTE BOTTOM. He has everything to make this list.
If we could divide e-sports into overall eras.. Father of esports: Boxer Era 1: J.Wong, Daigo, Flash, Neo Era 2: Faker, dev1ce, Uzi, Armada Era 3: s1mple, SonicFox, Maru, and tbc
I was legitimately going to write the biggest badass message here, slamming this list, until I finally saw who got #1. Well played Score, well played! Big love :)
Unbelievable how Ogre2 didn't make the list. Should have atleast been an honourable mention. Single most decorated eSports player. That man revolutionised the whole eSports scene when i was growing up.
Shooters shouldnt even be in a top 50 best player of all time Those modern shooters are a joke noticed how shooter player cant play nothing but RNG garbage simulator but no pure skill games
My top 5 would probably be S1mple, Flash, Sinatraa, Faker, and Daigo. In that order. I'm surprised Sonic Fox and Doublelift aren't anywhere on this list of Top 10 though
I dont know if Device really fits on this list tbh, like of course hes a great player but he has had the best team for basically 4 years now, i think he benefitted more from the Astralis system rather than individual skill.
I think Dendi certainly deserves a place on this list. The man inspired a generation of Dota 2 players and was the face of the game for the first three-four years.

I think he should've gotten #10 over s1mple considering just how dominant he was. s1mple is insane don't get me wrong, but 0 major titles really hits against his "legendary" status. Fatal1ty for sure should've gotten a slot just for being the #1 arena FPS player for over half a decade, IMO
8:58 I remember how my 5th grade teacher showed us this video and used it as a motivational teaching/thought about how you can do extremely hard things idk why tho
I thought Dendi was going to be on the list. Dendi was literally the face of Dota 2 in the old days and the first Pro player who uses underrated and unpopular heroes on mid and actually win his lane. and let's be real who doesn't know DENDI PUDGE when it comes to MOBA games.
I'd agree with you if he didn't keep playing past his prime, don't get me wrong I love Dendi and in his prime he was one of the best but past TI3, maybe TI4, he was not the same player he couldn't catch up with the newer guys like Sumail and Miracle

I wasn’t sure how you’d approach this list but my only thought coming into it was “well at least Flash and Faker both have to be near the top”. I guess I was on to something at least
Flash Is the T1 player before faker,same Legend as faker,literally a dinasty of gods created from T1
As someone who doesn't have much StarCraft knowledge my thought coming into it was "probably Faker on one, but if it's not, I bet it's that legendary StarCraft player" (and yes, I did not remember his name).
@@davide5139 Flash was never on T1, he played for KT Rolster...
Guys, I'm an SKT fan but Flash played for KT.
Boxer is the guy you're talking about who played for SKT
Kinda sad BoxeR isn't here. He may have been short lived compared to Flash, but his legacy is something forever remembered fondly by all SC players.
I am surprised whenever SC 1 or 2 get mentioned. People just forget about them in general.
@@frozengrip2609 It's not a very fun game to watch if you're not a player yourself, which is why it's one of the less popular esports games. Something like Rocket League is fun to watch even if you have no clue about the game, but enjoying StarCraft matches requires you to have decent knowledge about the game. SC1 was insanely popular in Korea but LoL and Overwatch took its place, and SC2 didn't fail, but never reached the heights of the first. It makes sense they'd be frequently overlooked by people.

Appreciate the love for Armada being one of the sickest melee players ever 💛 he totally deserves to be among this list of legends. Good list dawggies
let's fuckin go armada 💛💛💛
Hungry box
Goodboyobito1000 yuk
Kinda controversial to call Armada the goat at this point in time. Hbox is debatable for that spot as his reign has been going on for years and does not seem to stop anytime soon.
I love Armada tho and am happy Melee got some representation!
Gotta remember Armada never lost to anyone outside the top 6 once his reign began
Flash when he comes back from retierment and still wins: i see no god up here other than me
I feel like zero deserved to be on this list. He had a period of dominance where he was untouchable, won 52 smash tournaments in a row and even after his fall of grace, went back on the grind to become the best in the world once again.
Yeah tho armada deserves it more he was top 2 for 8 years four as 1st also had 6 s major win streak the most ever and didn't drop a set for over. a year oh yeah and has an all time winning record on EVERYONE
@@davis1228 it's not even bias, these guys have built an empire of their names. You could go to any smash board, ask for good "smash" players to watch and they will mention Armada and the gods before Zero, because that's how influential they are to the community. Sonicfox, altho a god in every game he plays, isn't liked that much by the community. It's not hard to understand the point of the video
No respect for Facebook streamers :)
I agree entirely
Really glad you put Flash as number one - here's some other not well-known facts about the king:
- He was an innovator beyond his time - he actually contacted olofmeister midway through the game with LDLC with instructions on how to utilize and win with the controversial "olofboost"
- when Armada broke Mang0's shield, he was about to do a regular punish before Flash secretly contacted him to, and Flash calculated all possibilities and moments to know it would happen with 100% accuracy, pull another turnip since he knew it would be a stitch face and Armada could style on him with that
- Flash was a fluent Tagalog speaker and coined the phrase "Lakad matatag" which he told the commentators about the day before the match. The commentators also attribute the "echo slamma jamma" to Flash as well.
- Flash, during the match between Faker and Ryu, took control of Faker's Zed the moment Ryu started his ult on him - it would have been cleaner of a kill if Flash wasn't playing remotely on 25 ping and explains the turret shots and auto attacks Ryu got on him before the ult.
- Flash granted Zero his ridiculous 56 straight tournament wins because of coaching and advice from Flash - he only lost his 57th because he forgot to pray towards Flash's location before MLG 2014.
- Flash whispered into Simple's headset "throw the AWP" before the crucial moment on Dust.
- Flash is responsible for directing and scoring the peach montage scene from the critically acclaimed South Korean movie , "Parasite".
This seems the sort of things only a God could do.
The more you know. What a fucking legend.
Instagram fact checker: Don't trust this guy
Zero is leagues above flash. Zero is the most dominant eSports player ever. Objectively. Like Michael Jordan, the competition couldn't win until he retired. He is the Michael Jordan of eSports.
Zero???? LMAO starcraft is 100000000% harder than a fighting game and the organizers for the biggest tournament which is asl, had to stop flash by forbidding all terran maps. That because they were scared he was going to get his 4th ASL title in a row that never happened in any e sport scene before organizers stepping in to stop an specific player from winning all again. Zero is just good at his game. Flash has been dominating the starcraft scene since forever. Everyone in korea call him god.
Great list, anyone who knows starcraft brood war will agree that Flash is number one. The dominance he has showed for years and years in that game is just unbelievable, especially considering how insanely hard the game and it's competition is.
*Ling Ling:*
These players acquired their achievements by practicing 40 Hours a day
Damn didn't expect to find a twosetter here
Duchi tf?
Damn. You're blessing this comment section with Ling Ling's power.
Twosetter spotted
Practicing 40 hrs a day? Are you taking adderall with Red Bull?
Can we talk about how zero isn’t on this list. He was never taken off his throne from the best player until his retirement.
Same. Even when nairo broke the streak no one thought he was better than zero.
@CHANNEL NOW ABANDONED yea the 5 gods were just different lmao
You're comparing being the best player at smash 4 to being the best player at a game that requires more technical skill and has a more established legacy and scene like Melee, CS:GO and Starcraft. Zero is an amazing player but his legacy can't touch anyone on this list.
Yeah i think zero would be in if it wasnt for the skill gap between smash 4 and melee. It took much more learning to master melee compared to 4
@@konakami7066 I have had this discussion a lot of times before. Just because a game requires different set of skills does not make it less Skilled to play. This artificial skill narrative that people seem to have is really infuriating because that is the reason people Dismiss Smash bros in general when comparing it to normal fighting games. Just because a game may be not that hard to perform does not make it less Competitive it just means the focus of gameplay is switched into other areas. I mean the greatest game of all time does not even require Physical Skill at all (Chess)
Hearing them say that Uzi's not going anywhere is pretty painful with June's happenings
Still get goosebumps from that Daigo clip from EVO.
It’s wicked that he is not no 01
I can't stop replaying that legendary moment, it makes me so happy!
A couple reason why Flash is the Greatest : Flash is the most successful player in the history of progaming in terms of qualification.
Flash earned the award for "Most Wins in Proleague" four times
Flash has the highest Elo rating record of all time. He broke the Elo record six consecutive and Flash is the only player to have an Elo peak in the 2400s.
Flash is the first player in history to reach both individual league finals 3 times in a row.
The
Flash received a golden ruler after winning his third ASL championship, aswell as a golden trophy for winning three consecutive ASL championships.
Flash is the first player in the history of Brood War to win 4 seasons of the same Premier tournament, winning his fourth ASL championship in Season 8.
All of these ridiculous records and titles are cool and all, but what strikes me is how strong he actually is. There is no player so universally respected and feared. Most interviews with other top players devolve into them saying they probably can't beat him.
He has consistently changed the meta by himself. His off races are both pro-level.
His nickname is God for a reason
Justin Wong didn't lose a single MvC2 tournament for three straight years and won the world championship title 7 of the 10 times it was at EVO, placing 2nd, 2nd, and 4th in the other three. He has also made top 8 in different games at evo 30 times.
@@SivartAuhsoj but FGC is much more fragile since JWong had some slumps, flash on starcraft on the other hand is too damn good to say the least
SivartAuhsoj you can’t compare smash community to the legend of broodwar when it comes to esports
Daniel Ryu I didn’t
all valid points, however did you really have to include that many spaces?
Flash the god hand.
Jaedong the legend killer.
Bisu the revolutionist.
Stork the Bang.
Man what a time to watch pro league when taekbangleessang is a thing.
All these dominating dominators seem really dominant. You can see in what dominant fashion they build their dominion.
I really wish they had included BoxeR in this list... BoxeR was the first truly great Starcraft player, and a huge part of the reason why Starcraft and esports in general became so big in Korea. Everyone, from your taxi driver to your corporate CEO knew who he was.
Chansol Park but he wasnt flash no one was no one ever will be
Boxer paved the way for Flash though. As Chansol mentioned, he was the first household name when Broodwar was at its peak.
Ogre 2 built and dominated console esports. I know people try to forget about console esports because COD, but its hard to deny the impact Ogre 2 made to esports as a whole and just how dominant he was during the first 3 Halos.
Besides that man won over 62 events between 4v4s and 2v2s, is funny that they just brush over halo like that
Thought this too
Honorable mention: Optic Formal. He is the first person to hold 2 championships from 2 different games (CoD and Halo)
I'd put Ogre 2 over formal. Dude won championships in H1, H2 & H3. He dominated Halo 2 to the level of Faker/Flash.
@@millsmillsmills203 not to mention never losing a 2v2v with Ogre1, not to mention Final Boss almost won 2 National Championships in H3 and ShadowRun at the same event, they took 1st in Halo and 2nd in Shadow Run.

the unspoken legend of dendi. you'll never know the hype when he would pick pudge on TI
Was so worried Flash wasn't going to get any love. The only true decision for #1 given his absolute transcendence of an entire esport for literally a decade plus.
Damn right, I was hoping for BOXER on this list though, he is to starcraft esports what daigo is for fighting games.
I feel like ZeRo should be on this list because he is the only player with a 56 WIN STREAK! And he was the king of smash 4 from the begining of the game all the way to then end
Not quite till the end. Maybe the end of zero’s career but there was still an era of bayonetta after zero left
@@smither1mina Nobody cares though. The Bayonetta era was a disgrace.
I feel like zero should be in jail
Why tf they would include a smash drone ? Smash take barely any skill its one of the most braindead fighting game out here
You didn't tell the story why Daigo is called the Beast. It's because he used to play without showing any emotions at all, even at the hypest moments. Its almost demonic like, as in the "Beast" itself
Flash absolutely deserves the #1. Starcraft was the original progenitor of esports. And Flash's dominance over such a long period of time and the magnitude of how much better he was than everyone else cannot be understated. Of all the "gods" in esports, Flash truly lives up to the name, and then some.
Duck King no it wasnt, starcraft in korea was huge korean air and national telecom companies sponsored these guys. Team houses were formed, massive crowds and that all in the early 2000’s
Boxxer deserved to be up there. Cant go Flash without going the full Flash/JD/Bisu/Stork. Boxxer was where esports truly began. He is beyond legendary.

I never thought there was someone greater than Faker.
No KNEE?! No SONIXFOX?! Sonixfox dominated multiple fighting game and has multiple evo titles. And I can’t stand how no one mentions KNEE at esports greatest. The guy has been dominating tekken for over 2 decades. A game that some see as the hardest fighting game to get into. And unlike the legends in this list, knee is old but isn’t holding just his own against the best.. he literally is still one of the if not the best tekken player.
I KNOW RIGHT?! Incredibly disappointed that Knee didn't make the list. God damn 3 CS players, but no time for a guy that has actually dominated his game... Heck, Uzi doesn't really belong on a top 10 list either.
The issue is that sonicfox dominates games that don't even come close to pulling the competitive popularity of the other games on the list, if the list was "greatest players ever to dominate games that aren't in the list of the most popular in their genre" sonicfox would be unstoppable as #1 and the same can be said of knee until tekken 7 where he doesn't dominate as hard. The difference here is all the players in the list dominated the most popular game hence drawing in the highest level of competition
Where's the greatest of them all, TheLegend27?

Yeah, StarCraft pros are very good and it's much harder game
I'd say Faker should just take the one LoL spot. He created the foundation of how to play mid lane as Dopa said. Uzi is god but he's not on par with player like Neo or Flash

I was looking for Tekken as well. Too much csgo
Knee is the god of Tekken for sure and I'll always lean towards Tekken, but this list is so crazy stacked. SonicFox and Tokido didn't get there so It's not surprising. The Beast and Justin are the picks if you gotta chose two FGC players.

Firstly, fatality's games against tox were in quake 4, not quake 3 (toxic won btw).
Honestly I'd put players like Flash from SC or Rapha/Cypher from Quake far above fatality.
Anyone that has looked into it knows that many of his "WC" titles were either him racing a game on launch with a tiny pool of competitors, or winning so called "world" titles that had almost none of the best players at the event. There's a reason why most of the "hardcore" fans never liked fatality. All self promotion, branding and delusion to this day.
Rapha and cypher dominated quake for far longer against far tougher competition while Flash was also in a bigger scene, being more recent and in SC...
Ultimately, he was never the best painkiller player (vo0 was always better and lost like 1 event to fatality). He was nowhere near top at UT, though he did place 3rd at one respectable event (eswc 2003 or something). Was possibly the best quake 3 player for 1 year (first year of launch). Are you going to count wins from games like Alien versus Predator? lol
Listing those accolades may sounds impressive, but plenty gamers have much longer lists on their wiki pages.

@@XJumpManReturnsX lol meta shapers? Rat Dota was originally conceived by Notail's fnatic but is attributed to Alliance because they perfected it. Illusion meta got gimped by patches because of OG during the Boston Major. Then, an even more impressive feat imo, dismantling established "metas" in the past two TIs.
Puppey and Kuro have only had a head start in Dota 2 by 2-3 years. They played dota 1 b4 that but if you're going to include that, then might as well include Notail's Hon days, which he dominated as well. Facts point to Notail having a much more stellar career so far, and in a relatively shorter amount of time than the 2. No biased attempt of yours to disprove it can ever contradict the facts: 2 TIs back to back, 4 Valve majors while playing 4 of the 5 positions available. Yes, Notail has had a better run so far.

I know it rare that Halo gets any mention here but when you stress ALL of e-sports and then leave out Ogre 2 from the halo scene you are missing something. The man was apart of not 1 but 2 of the greatest Halo teams of all-time(STK/3D/Final Boss and then instinct). He has by far the most event wins of any halo player and won tournaments across multiple halo titles and dominated the game during its peak(which is what paved the way for most e-sports now). It’s not just 4v4 where he shined either. He was a 2v2 and FFA monster back in the Halo CE and Halo 2 days...
The fact that Ogre 2 isn't on this list is a joke. He was a top player for over 13 years, won 5 championships, won 40 events, has 70 tops, and placed top TWO at 40 events in a row.

That aged poorly
@Ther Ther He retired due to health issues. However he’s stated that he might be able to come back since his health has significantly improved.
I know RL isn’t as big of a scene as games like CS and LoL and all, but Turbopolsa deserves a mention on this. Dude’s won half of all worlds and like a third of all majors, ever. That’s insane
The list would probably have to be longer because "smaller" games have their legends, but it's hard to rank them comparatively with very popular games. In Age of Empires the player Viper is extremely dominant and in relation to other players, his level of success and dominance is comparable to others on this list. But the AoE2 e-sports scene is just too unknown.
This needs to be a top 50 list and include some "smaller" e-sports. For example, Warcraft 3 was rivaling SC in popularity and players like Grubby could have easily been on that list.
Even though Halo's fallen on tough times, I think Ogre2 belongs on the list tbh.
I'm shocked he wasn't tbh. Str8 ignorance imo. Titles in 5 different Halo games and shadowrun spanning over 13 years. UZI gets in as the dude that constantly got 2nd and massively underperformed provincially. Not even the greatest ADC of all time, IMP was better, Deft was better, hell Weixio was fucking better. Og2 has a track record that is hard to beat in any esport.
Real talk I'm going to have to talk to the writer. This is a travesty.

UZI was massively overrated because of the back to back world finals thing in which his whole team both times just funneled all resources in to him and played comps specifically based around protecting him. I think you could argue to me he is the greatest ADC of all time and I would listen. 2nd best player of all time is str8 up ridiculous, He literally hasn't won anything and only displayed good form for 3-4 seasons. He joined super team OMG and literally made them worse...Also not to mention everyone both in China and that simply played against both RNG and EDG circa worlds 2013 Said Namei was the most skilled ADC in china. UZI is massively overrated. Not to say he wasn't good but he had an extremely brief time at his peak during which multiple other ADCS were arguably better and on top of that he won not nearly enough for someone who would be considered 2nd best of all time, He won 2 domestic titles and an MSI. Again, not bad by any stretch but none of it is 2nd best player of all time material, not skill-wise, not consistancy/length of career wise and not Trophy wise. If he doesn't make it in literally any of those categories by themselves then how can you honestly say he makes it overall. He regularly got smashed in lane by Deft and IMP around his 'rise to the top' and doesn't come close to the silverware they have and all are still playing with Deft easily looking the best of the 3 atm. That's just for ADC. Vs every other player for 2nd best next to Faker he literally doesn't come close. I've followed and played Lol since S1-S2 off season.
@Matt Obra 1 'Outside of the game' factor should not make or break people on this list, that's absurd. Regardless my main point was to argue UZI being the best ADC of all time and the 2nd best player of all time like someone stated is not true.
“I am a bigger daddy” -notail
Started thinking about who would be number one when the video was still halfway. Thought it must be Flash and I am glad the video confirms it.
Would've loved to see only 1 player per esport. This list has a serious lack of Zero and Turbopolsa.
I've been scrolling thru the comments looking for 1 comment about turbopolsa thankyou
@@bxrmejo864 Same lol
If only zero lacked some of his allegations
Where's shroud tho?
The best fps player in this world
Was expecting to see zero and his like 54 tournament win streak in smash 4
Same.
Welp you spoiled me. I was thinking Zero for his win streak and domination throughout his whole sm4sh career.
I was half expecting it, but I do agree with the decision to put armada in rather than zero. Such a well deserved spot
@@davis1228 the argument against smash 4 is that it wasnt as competitively balanced and it was easier to master than melee
@@davis1228 I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, I'm saying this channel wouldn't put more than one smash player on the list
Zero should have made this list, I mean, the absolute biggest win streak of all of e-sports, his community outreach, his story coming from the ABSOLUTE BOTTOM. He has everything to make this list.
2:28
OMG HE FLASHED IN AND STOLE ALL THE KILLS, WHAT A PLAY!!!
can't believe olofboost didnt make this list. tragic really.
Olof is not in the same class as NEO in CS, never mind names like Fatal1ty.
@@Okieant r/wooooooooosshhhhhh
If we could divide e-sports into overall eras..
Father of esports: Boxer
Era 1: J.Wong, Daigo, Flash, Neo
Era 2: Faker, dev1ce, Uzi, Armada
Era 3: s1mple, SonicFox, Maru, and tbc
gaben is the father of esports haha
s1mple and dev1ce belong in the same era tbh
@@CrZ0004 agreed with you
No Knee? No Moon? No Jaedong?
I don’t think Uzzi should be here when his team has always been focused on protecting the puppy
I was legitimately going to write the biggest badass message here, slamming this list, until I finally saw who got #1. Well played Score, well played! Big love :)
Unbelievable how Ogre2 didn't make the list. Should have atleast been an honourable mention. Single most decorated eSports player. That man revolutionised the whole eSports scene when i was growing up.
No he didn't. Halo was a distant thought while SC, CS 1.6, and Quake dominated eSports. But he should get an honorable mention.
halo was never as big as cs or quake back in the day
They don’t mention console players unless they play a fighting game unfortunately
Shooters shouldnt even be in a top 50 best player of all time
Those modern shooters are a joke noticed how shooter player cant play nothing but RNG garbage simulator but no pure skill games
My top 5 would probably be S1mple, Flash, Sinatraa, Faker, and Daigo. In that order. I'm surprised Sonic Fox and Doublelift aren't anywhere on this list of Top 10 though
I dont know if Device really fits on this list tbh, like of course hes a great player but he has had the best team for basically 4 years now, i think he benefitted more from the Astralis system rather than individual skill.
Sooo trueeeee
To be fair, no one's ever been top 5 for 5 years in a row (basically check all the rankings from the past 5 years), so I think he counts.
He is the only player who plays since cs:go came out and still a god
Dev1ce fits more than s1mple who hasn't won a major yet. But I agree, his spot should go to Fatal1ty or BoxeR
I think Dendi certainly deserves a place on this list. The man inspired a generation of Dota 2 players and was the face of the game for the first three-four years.
WHO
@@boiscooka232 you noob. Only legends knows him
2 mins of silence for those came to this vedio to find a PUBG player..! 🥺
No Quake players? Cypher, Rapha, Cooller :((
I don't think Quake had as big of an impact on esports as a whole, than other genre's games.
Holy shit you're right. Don't forget Faita1ty he so famous he still has his name on mother board lol
@@balazsboros2531 Quake was huge! It was televised and lead the way for western esports as we know it today, alot of the talent that was involved with Quake are still in the esports scene today :)
@@surumeman7195 Absolutely he was the most popular player :D Also Vo0!
@@surumeman7195 Seriously so disappointed Fatal1ty wasn't even on this list at all. I think he should've gotten #10 over s1mple considering just how dominant he was. s1mple is insane don't get me wrong, but 0 major titles really hits against his "legendary" status. Fatal1ty for sure should've gotten a slot just for being the #1 arena FPS player for over half a decade, IMO
8:58 I remember how my 5th grade teacher showed us this video and used it as a motivational teaching/thought about how you can do extremely hard things idk why tho
I thought Dendi was going to be on the list. Dendi was literally the face of Dota 2 in the old days and the first Pro player who uses underrated and unpopular heroes on mid and actually win his lane. and let's be real who doesn't know DENDI PUDGE when it comes to MOBA games.
I'd agree with you if he didn't keep playing past his prime, don't get me wrong I love Dendi and in his prime he was one of the best but past TI3, maybe TI4, he was not the same player he couldn't catch up with the newer guys like Sumail and Miracle
Dendi is not even close to being the best DOTA player of all times
Legends that need to be mentioned
SonicFox
Knee
Dendi
About to say sonic fox wasn't here
ZeRo
fat1lity
SonicFox is trash
